I have lived in Arkansas for over 20 years. I started playing pool at 10 years old. Later on in years I left the game to pursue other interests only to find myself right back at it years later. I joined a local pool league witch reminded me of my passion for the sport and the fun people had playing.

By sending out this information, the ABP suggested that all 3 events have sanctioned or recognized the ABP. That is NOT TRUE. The only event that actually recognized the ABP was the first event. This type of release misleads and confuses the players and the fans.

It was a fun weekend with good friends, great pool, amazing stories, as well as true kindness and generosity. The first annual Str8-Shots Shoot for a Cure event was held at Felt Billiards in Englewood, Colorado on September 21-23. It began as a vision between the Colorado Springs couple, Marc and Kimberly Griffiths. They wanted to organize an event to raise money for cancer, a cause they are both very passionate about.

Laurel Highlands TAP Summer Titleholder Results
Two brackets totaling 32 teams shot it out for a prize fund of $7,000 from August 24 to 26th at the Cooperstown Vets in Derry Pa.. This Titleholder is typically the smallest one of the three yearly Titleholders due to the summer slow down but was purposely restricted even more so this year due to the national play offs scheduled into this already busy weekend. But there was still plenty of stiff competition and hill-hill matches.
6 Year old Hailey Cook, playing pool at Nana and Papa’s house.
When our grandchildren were very young, they would sit on our pool table and roll the pool balls. They loved the sound as the balls hit together, and would clap their hands and laugh with excitement when a ball went into a pocket. As they grew older, they stood on the side of the table, seeing who could roll the balls into the pockets. After watching their Papa (my husband, Sam) play pool one day, they decided that they wanted to be just like him.
