Aces Cool Pool Lit and Links. in Billiard Wholesale Directory

 

Back in the early 1960s, the hit movie The Hustler came out and the popularity of pocket billiards immediately surged. High school kids where I grew up who had been hanging out at the sweet shop wearing blue jeans and imitating James Dean suddenly were making Teasdales Billiard Academy, our local pool hall, their after school hangout. Always the follower, I allowed myself to be swept along with the tide. I exhibited very little talent for the game at first, but through perseverance and dedication I became one of the top three or four players in our crowd. At 16, I was regularly running 40 or 50 balls and seemed well on my way to becoming a pretty decent pool player. Then fate intervened, I stopped playing and my skills quickly eroded. Though I did pick up a cue now and then over the years, my poor play disgusted me and eventually I swore never to play again. Skip forward thirty-eight years. Im living on the west coast of Florida and living in an old fogeys trailor park. I tried golf but found play painfully slow. The parks clubhouse just happened to house two 4 by 8 pool tables, so I said to myself one day, What the hell, and got back into the game. It wasnt long after that that I incorporated my new pursuit, pool, with another hobby - creating web pages. Thus was born Aces Cool Pool Lit & Links. As the name suggests, this site was devoted to pool literature and pool links. Though at first I placed everything on one web page, I later separated the links and the lit.
