What Credibility? Stop the Insanity!

Imagine this. Tiger Woods trails Ernie Ells in the final round of the U.S. Open by 3 strokes going into the par 5, 17th hole. He launches his drive down the right side of the fairway where it hits a branch and bounces through the trees onto the adjacent 14th green and rolls into the cup. The […]

From Little Acorns Do Mighty Oaks Grow

Synchronized Cue Dancing

Playing pool is like dancing. Not only your shooting form, but also your movements in between shots. The way you walk, carry your cue, chalk up, look at the table, line up, and eventually stroke the cue all give clues to how well you play as well as effect your results on the table. I […]
