Why do you play this game?

I came across a caroom table, I think that what there called. Had a checker board on one side. I wore that thing out in my driveway as a kid in Cali, a local park had tournaments, but I think I just watched, don’t recall playing competitively as a 7-8 year old. Was given a Viking butt when I was about 15, went to the Viking shop and asked for a 10mm shaft, they refused to warranty any under 11mm. Lost that cue around 20, found the exact cue in my early 30’s, the vaunted Super Joint, Still have it but the guy who had it last took off the wrap and personally refinished it. He did a good job for an amateur.
 
My dad and I would watch any televised pool , I remember seeing Willie doing some trick shots like six balls one shot and five rail bank and was amazed what could be done with the cue ball . Not long after seeing that on T.V. my dad bought a 5'X10' pool table . I set up those shots and played for hours , and the pink aluminum cue dad had we thought was the bomb :ROFLMAO:
