Billiards Boot Camp Day 3 (continued)

(Thursday, 7/29) – Tonight I drove to Petaluma, CA to check out Universe Billiards. The trip took quite a bit longer than I had anticipated due to road construction along the interstate. I guess tomorrow I’ll find an alternate route through the country. Anyway, I arrived in Petaluma around 7:20 and quickly found Universe. It was located in a turn of the century brick building with lots of ‘old railroad town’ charm. I bought a monthly membership for $35. Quite a deal for an entire weekend of pool shooting; an absolute steal for a month’s worth of play. The place is actually pretty nice – the equipment is good the people friendly – all in all a very good environment to play in. I grabbed a table in the back so as not to be disturbed, and quietly shot warm-ups and some simple drills for a couple hours. It’s very nice to get back to some serious play again. I’m really looking forward to a weekend of very serious practice.
