Mark Wilson was kind enough to show me his Lindenwood Lions Billiards Arena that the college has set up for their team. It has 4 brand new 9 foot Diamond tables, diamond lights, Simonis cloth, Diamond ball polisher and Aramith balls. The perfect set up to play and learn in.
I noticed it was a bit shy on decoration and I offered to donate some prints for the team. Mark had an idea of what he wanted and together over the last few weeks we finally got it done.
Instead of numbering the tables Mark has decided to name them after some of the greatest players in the game. Mosconi, Greenleaf, Crane and Reyes. I made plaques that fit into the ends of the diamond light housings and printed portraits of each of the players to coincide with the tables. Mark wrote up a small unique bio for each of the portraits. Here is the finished product.
Sorry there weren't more pics, my new batteries were almost dead right out of the package.
It really was a pleasure for me to be able to do something for this team, they truly deserve it. I got to spend a few hours last night playing against several of his students and they are a great bunch of young men. Very respectful and driven, the type of people that I enjoy playing.

). He was ECSTATIC about the appearance of the room. He wants a very high quality facility that will INSPIRE the players to WANT to do the hard work required. These photos are a huge addition to the program. THANKS CHRIS!!!!
