Pool League Recruit

I am not a professional pool player by any means, not a dark horse either, simply a newbie, trying to have some fun. From time to time, I can shoot an awesome combo, or a bank shot, which would surprise myself, but quite often, I will mess up the easiest shots, because my right arm is not steady enough yet.

Funny thing the other night, when I went with my pool league friends to have some fun watching the pros play, I played a couple of game prior to the league game started. The opponent team captain came to me and insisted to ask me to play with them because they were one player short.

If I said no, their team will forfeit and have 0 points recorded for the night. Reluctantly, I said yes, so a newbie like me had to play against my friends all night. The result? You can imagine, I lost all the way around, but, I made average 4, maybe 5 balls per game. I am still pretty darn proud of myself!

At the end of the night, the captain of the team I played for pushed really hard to recruit me to join her team permanently. I was so flattered. I declined their offer in the end, but I will keep practicing, you never know, I may become next Xiaoting Pan one day 🙂
