Have you ever thought of using the On Line Yellow Pages to find Billiards Rooms.:smile:
There used to be a player named Chris Compton who played out in Waldorf area. I'm not sure about any cool pool rooms there, but I do know they have a lot of bars with tables in the area, if you like that kind of atmosphere. I used to enjoy hitting the bar spots, but I was more of a bar table player than a big table player when I was hitting 'em.
QuBall 1 Billiards in Capital Heights where they had the recent Strawberry Memorial One-Pocket tournament is about a 30-to-40-minute drive from Waldorf, but there's good action there, good players. This is a "real" pool room, all pool, no fluff: Directions to QuBall 1 Billiards.
Here's an article from OnePocket.org with pictures from the event: http://www.onepocket.org/2010StrawberryMemorial.htm
I'm reminded of an old-time player from Waldorf, a road agent, named "Waldorf Danny." He was a big action kind of player. People traveled from high and low to play Waldorf Danny. One time sitting on the rail, I counted 53 strokes before he took a shot. That was his trademark. If you ever saw a little short guy stroke the ball 50-plus times before pulling the trigger, that's Waldorf Danny. I wonder if he's still around.
hard times cafe
its on 301 by the mall. early afternoon there are guys that play one pocket. some nights before 8 you can get some action, after 930 it gets loose and liquored up folks not really there to shoot pool. that's the only spot I frequently go to when I am in town.

QuBall 1 is a serious one pocket room. They are very friendly though.
I have family in Waldorf. I'll ask them about pool there.
Hey there! Dave and I were just thinking about PMing you to see if you were gonna be at the Expo this year. We only live about 30 mins from Waldorf - we often go to Hard Times Cafe to play. It's about the best you are going to do there. I'll send you a PM with my cell phone number, give me a call or text if you'd like to meet up and shoot some.
pwned. . . .
Hard Times was the recommendation of my cousin in Waldorf too.
well the players name is not chris compton, but it is chris comstock. he is a hell of a player. hard times in waldorf is the only place with decent 9 foot tables. i transferred from waldorf to texas in may of last year, so im not sure whats been added or taken away from waldorf. but when i was there it was hard times acfe. hope this helps.
That's the guy. I remember him in some local tournaments when I was frequenting them. Thanks for the information. This is what a pool forum should be all about: networking with other like-minded people. Thanks again! :smile:
You got it right again, Billy, as usual. Thanks! :smile:
Thanks for the replies everyone! Especially you, Cowboy...I have never thought of that!
I am in Baltimore for the night visiting my buddy and I head to Waldorf in the morning. I may only be able to go out a couple of nights since my school this semester is keeping me pretty busy.
