About Me
My name is Tony. I have been retired from General Motors for 4 1/2 years. I am married with 2 children and 4 grandchildren. My hobbies, besides pool, are fishing, motorcycling, target shooting, hunting, and I bowl sometimes and also like to hand-load my own ammunition.
Spending time with family is always high on my priority list. My wife, Jackie, works for David Weekley Homes as a Project Coordinator.
We shoot in an APA 8-ball league on Monday night and I also shoot in a 9-ball league on Thursday night. She is a SL3 and I am a SL5.
We have our own table at home, a Brunswick Bradford 8x4.
My main cue is a Lucasi LE66 butt with a Predator Z shaft, Everest tip.
In the three sessions I have been in thus far, I have 5 rackless night patches, two 9-on-the-snap patches, one break-and-run patch, a league MVP patch, and a 9-ball second place in league trophy. I have won two local tournaments twice, placed second once, and placed third once. Not bad for a beginner (I've been shooting 40 years, but always for fun).
