Reminds me a bit of the movie walk away joe
Why is the title 9-ball and the video is playing 8-ball ??
Well produced, good cinematography, lousy conclusion.

90% of the people that will see it, don’t play nine
Same was true for Color of Money.

Fun fact: Matthew McConaughey got his first movie role in part because of his love for golf. From this article:
-----
When appearing on The Howard Stern Show, McConaughey once discussed how he got the role that would alter the course of the rest of his life. It sounds like it was a moment of overt confidence that nearly went horribly wrong but actually led to great success. McConaughey had been hanging out at a bar one night.
“The bartender says, ‘There are some guys at the end of the bar producing some film.’ So I go and introduce myself,” McConaughey told Stern. “His name is Don Phillips. I introduced myself. I said, ‘Are you in town working on a film?’ He goes, ‘Yeah, yeah, I’m working on this film; I’m producing and casting. It’s called Dazed and Confused. What do you want?”
McConaughey admitted that Phillips was coming across in an “offputting manner”, most likely wanting to get rid of him. “We start shooting the shit, we both play golf, we play at a similar course,” the actor continued. “Cut to three hours later; we get kicked out; we’re a little rambunctious.”
Things might have gone badly from that point on, but McConaughey had actually already impressed Phillips. He continued: “On the ride home in a taxi, he says, ‘Hey Matthew, you ever done any acting? Come to this address in the morning; you might be just right for this part.’”
The following morning McConaughey went down and collected the script for Dazed and Confused. He didn’t have the biggest part in the movie, but somehow he turned the Wooderson character into one of the most memorable with iconic lines like “Alright, alright, alright”. Suddenly, we knew we had a star on our hands.

Really? I have not met him, but know some people who have seen him in Nashville. They swear he is a humble, down to earth dude. Hate to hear he is a dick...

Bothered me too lol
Interestingly I did not watch the video before I posted the link due to being at work
I had heard the song earlier and somewhat liked it even though Country music is not my thing.
After watching it I thought "This is why we can't have nice things"
I guess it hits home a little, reminding me of me learning to play the game while my Dad was having a few drinks. It was not long before I was whooping most of my Dads buddies.
At least there was no gambling.
Cuebuddy>>>has nice things.
