I Played Well Tonight

[THE SILENCER]

if you recall, i posted here last night, saying i played like crap on the apa, because the players aren't so hot, and the echoy acoustics stink for pool, well tonight, for the first time, in a long time, i played a player on my level at a quiet pool hall, and i played very well, it felt good! i guess i'm a product of my enviroment?

Congrats on playing well this evening!!

I find it's all btwn the ears Bernie.

What kind of day I have had, what mood I am in when I hit the pool hall for practice & the same when I leave if we are playing at another teams home base.

These things all have potential to greatly influence the night's play(among other surrounding factors, other players etc.)

The key for me is to leave everything behind, stay in the present, close off my ears & play my own game!!

This type of approach leads to the best results imho.

I had a good night too

Tonight was the first time I've hit a ball since my shoulder surgery, but that wasn't why the night was good. I had the opportunity to help a couple who have never played before. I'm not exactly a pro, and I haven't been able to play seriously since I was injured a year and half ago, but I was still able to pass along some basic fundamentals of the game. It was very rewarding (and it helped me to forget that I was pissed off the surgery didn't help at all)
