I played pool on Friday night for the first time since November.
It was great!
I operate my own business (a young business) and I rarely get time to do the things I enjoy, perhaps I should try scheduling the time, everyone needs a bit of downtime.
Anyway, going back to Friday, it wasn’t great pool and things were a little rusty but all the same it was enjoyable. I was playing 9-ball with a few friends, one of which is lucky enough to have a 9ft pool table in his house.
It was great, because they were all used to playing UK pool on the smaller tables so I was able to introduce them to the game of 9-ball and the nuances that go with the game. For me it was a great feeling to let off a bit of steam have a bit of a laugh and play some pool.
Sometimes with players who are of a lesser ability it can be a struggle and waiting around for your turn can become a little tiresome. Not on this occasion! We played scotch doubles which meant a lot of table time and conversation about what shots to play and where to leave the cue ball.
If you haven’t played scotch doubles then I suggest you have a game to break up what you usually do, alternate shots makes it very interesting and friendships can be made, or perhaps lost dependant on your positional play.
I got the buzz again and now want to play more than ever so I will try and get a game in at least once per week, just to give my cueing arm a work out.
