Friends and I played a lot from 9-15 years old or so. During that time the old guy that ran the place took a liking to me so I’d be in there playing billiards with him as well or helping him with stuff around the bowling alley.
I never played much again until I was about 20 and then I picked it up like riding a bike. Played for several years again with a couple different teams, we won some tournaments.
I’ve barely played at all the last couple years, just don’t care to hang out in bars that much anymore. I toss around the idea of getting a table again.
