I'm not sure I was even a class leftie, nevermind top or world Cheesy

That reminds me of a dear departed golfing mate called Tony Davidson.

We were on the 1st tee at Dunham Forest and I said "I won't be able to reach that bunker - I'm not a long-hitter".

"You're not even a hitter" he replied quick as a flash.

Ford misses dolly blue into middle, Trump clears to pull back to 3-5.

Early days but a pivotal frame & goodbye Ford.

You heard it here first.

Bet Anthony Hamilton feels like an idiot now - pulling out of the tournament because they were letting the fans in and now the fans will be all kicked out before his game even starts.

Edit: Actually he was due to play tonight when the fans would still have been there, but it would only have been for one session.

7 frames in. Bingham's rest pot success rate = 55%

How many rest shots did he have to play in total to get that stat?

Marky , just out of interest did you hit 147 in the past?

my top break was 32 lol, 4 reds 4 blacks, think i got 20 ish once or twice before that

seem to remember reading your dad had a club , how about karabiner and red dog ?

i played pool too a decent level for years, i reckon anyone who can regularly hit 50 breaks + on a full size table has enjoyed a misspent youth.

The missed blue in 4th frame was painful. Had bet 0-4 for the mini session @ 40/1 😬

5 pots from 9 would be 55.555556% according to my calculator. So there.

Haha, I wish Cheesy

Hit a 147 in line-up, which I'm sure most decent players have. Had a couple tons practicing, but never in comps. Highest in a knockout comp was 86 and had a few 70s in the local league.

I found booze & rugby right around the time I was getting to where I could have been good.

Won the local league individual comps (U21/25 open/h'cap) at one time or another in my teens and 20s.
