Local Pool Leagues
Living just 40 miles north of the city limits of Atlanta I have recently signed up for a pool league in my area. The league consist of a bunch of different teams and they are from Cobb and Cherokee County mainly. Our home base for our team is at Side Pockets, which is located down old Highway 5 in Cobb County in the shopping center that is directly across from where Chastain road comes into Highway 5. We play every Thursday night and tonight will be my 3rd week with the team. We play a road game tonight and will travel to Big Shots located on Highway 92 in Woodstock. This will be the first time I have went into that building and played pool in about 10 years. I use to go to this building when it was under a new name and shot pool there a lot. It is closer to my house than my home base of Side Pockets in Marietta is located. The old names were the Cue Club and Cherokee Billiards. I believe it has had one or two other names after that and it’s now called Big Shots.
The hardest thing for me so far has been shaking off the rust. I have not played any serious pool in about 10 years. I still remember all the things I need to be doing and which shots on the table I should be taking first, but the skill level of actually making the shots is not there right now. We have about 8 weeks left in this sessioin and then the fall pool leagues will start. Maybe I can utne up my game enough now, so I will be ready for action come this fall. If you have never been in a pool league before, you should give it a try sometime. It’s a great way to meet new people , sharpen your pool game and while having fun too!
