Updates from Temple, TX at The Green Room
Just got home a little while ago from Temple. First off, let me say the venue The Green Room is sweeeeeet! They have 10 7' Diamond Smart Tables and two 9' Diamonds. It is BYOB because they don't have their liquor license yet, but the tables were so nice -- the owners were very cordial and showed everyone a great Texas welcome. If you are all are ever passing by Temple, you need to stop by. It is a great place!
Let's see on the Men's Open side (32 players), Bonnie Plowman won the hot seat match against Mike (Tyke) Rabon from Houston. Bonnie is tearing it up for sure. Because of her Master status, she had to play in the Men's Division and for some of dem boys' who didn't know who she was, they sure do now.....

Last guys standing when I left were Ricky Reed, Kevin F...berger...can't remember his last name, Tyke and Charlie Smith from Sherman. Bonnie played in an 8-ball tournament there on Friday night and out of 20 players she took 1st place. So the girl definitely has got game!!! I think 1st place prize in the men's division is $500.
On the women's side there were 18 girls and Kim Pierce won against aka Trigger for the hot seat. And the girl that knocked me out, some Donna lady was playing some Tina girl; then the winner would play Melinda and they the winner of that match would have to double dip Kim. I think 1st place prize in the women's is $380.
Also Charlie Smith & Tracie Voelkering took 2nd in the Scotch Doubles. Not bad for neither one having a partner, until "yours truly" hooked them up. Charlie thanked me by buying me a prime rib at Texas Roadhouse. Thank you Charlie, you are awesome----I don't care what Nancy says about you. :thumbup:
Also 1st place in scotch doubles went to Ricardo E. and Joo Yoo K. (she looked like Yoko Ono)
It was a good tournament and the tables were B-E-A-UTIFUL. :smile:
Also big thanks goes out to Big Truck for playing scotch doubles with me. It was all good and the Crown was soothing to say the least. Big Truck and my 1st match was against Ricardo and Yoko (who took eventually 1st place). Next time Ray, I don't care what time it is----we are starting off with a Crown and 7. It will make us loose.....
