Any fans out there ? I accidentally saw some of the Seniors tournament a few weeks back, and it's rekindled my interest. I used to love the game back in the glory days of the 1980s, but never played enough to get any good. So I've joined a local social club that has a couple of tables, and just bought a pool table so I can get a little practice in at home. Being Irish, of course I have to mention the great Alex Higgins as one of my inspirations, but it's really the old Welsh guys who are my heroes - Doug Mountjoy and Ray Riordan being at the top of the list.

Steve Howe is a huge fan as he mentioned in his autobiography. As a kid used to enjoy Pot Black. Yeah, Hurricane Higgins was pretty cool. I only ever played 8ball. A pleb, I know.

Pool is great too, if you just need a quick fix ! It's all about the physics, really.

Haha. This brought about a fond memory. Thank you. Played once, well one looonnnggg nite anyway, at a pub in Iowa of all places. That had a snooker table of all things. I had never even seen one before. Damn huge thing with long cues? Is that right am I remembering correctly? Was 30 yrs ago. Lol.
Business trip, with a buddy/colleague, and met up with some folks who knew the rules and the game. I didn’t. So I paid for a lot of beer that evening!Comment
