Are you playing some now, Fran? That is wonderful. I'll be you are really enjoying it, getting back in the game. That Amsterdam Billiard Club sounds dreamy.
The best time of my life in pool was when I was actually playing. Today, I'm a railbird. I still enjoy sweating the matches, but it's not as much fun for me as it was when I was hitting 'em.
A few years ago, I tried to play some, and my muscle memory for stroking the ball was gone. My break was pitiful. I can remember trying to hit them with all my might, and the tip of the cue stick never made contact with the cueball. I came with a miss. How embarrassing it was. :embarrassed2:
Hope you share some of your experiences at the pool room with us. That would be great!
Yes, I am playing again. Nothing much to report other than I'm getting my butt whooped, but that's to be expected for now. But when I practice, I can hear all my past teachers who are now long gone, whispering in my ear and it's all starting to come back, and I think even stronger than before, which I'm excited about.
Right now I'm just enjoying the process. You should try to play again, Jen. Don't give up. Just do it for yourself, wihout the pressure of expectations. Just have fun.
