I miss playing golf in a pool room. I get over to California Billiards to play some on the 6 x 12 once and a while, but it is a 2 1/2 hour trip each way and hit or miss to get a game. I played golf all over Southern Ca from the late 50’s through the 90’s and have played hundreds of games on Big Bertha in Bellflower over the years at three different locations before they retired her and replaced the table with one with pockets so tight it ruins the game. I don’t mind tight pockets, but the table they have now at Hard Times, Bellflower is so tight your ball literally has to be within a half inch or so from the pocket to make the ball. That is not golf the way I learned to play it.
I will be 80 in a couple weeks and thinking of taking a road trip next year to visit some rooms on my bucket list. I want to do this while my health is good and I can still play a little. I enjoy ring games and will play heads up if I think I have any kind of chance. I will also play cheap one pocket with players that are not a pain in the ass to play. Players that know me, and there are many, know I am not a nut hunter and love to play.
There used to be rooms like Family Fun Center and Colfax Billiards in Denver, and the Farmers Daughter in Salt Lake City where you could walk in the door and get a golf game. Where are they now? The Phoenix area had the Golden Cue and Golden Eight Ball, gone now and maybe one 5 x 10 snooker table in the whole area left.
I know there must be some rooms left where you can play some golf. Where are they?
