I am no longer doing lessons. It is time to step up and defend this game. The game of pocket
billiards is in trouble. Pool halls are closing at an alarming rate, universities are taking pool
tables out of their recreation rooms and league attendance is dwindling. I have decided to do
something about this. I hope you will consider your part in bringing this game back to its glory
days when we prospered with so many pool players.

| How many professional players do you know who fit this definition. |
When I discovered this game I went into my basement with the goal to become a world class
player so I could share the beauty of pocket billiards. I stayed there for three years. (Monk bio)
After I came out of my training room I played pool with some of the finest players in the northern
mid west. They were all first class gentlemen and women. Each of those players fit the mold of a
professional player. This is what I thought pool was all about. They called fouls on themselves
and never cheered when you scratched. They genuinely felt bad when you got a terrible role.
They were high level competitors and a joy to be around.
Then I went out into the real world and saw the low side of this game. The gambling, drugs,
sharks, cut throats and selfish players who always ask "how much money is added?" I ended up
quitting this game. Still my love for pocket billiards sent me on a career helping players learn the
fine art of the stroke. I enjoyed a long career helping pool players.
Still, the game began to decline and I could never really find the group I left so long ago. They
were the dinosaurs in this game, a forgotten breed, the lost warrior sent to the wayside.
It took me many years to figure out that it was the low side of pocket billiards who ran the game
and the industry. And this is why the professional player is rare and hard to find. It would be
easier to find a diamond in the rough than to find a first class professional player. The problem is
not so much the character of our players but the fact that they have been schooled by the
powers who run this game and thus lack the skills to be a real true pro.
I matched up with a US Open winner of years past, an acknowledge Christian in a tournament not
long ago and he continued to hide the chalk when it was my turn to play. Sharking opponents is
the accepted way to play this game. And it is exactly what drives the good player away from the
sport. Without the good players, we see our game in serious decline.

| It is not the economy that has taken a tole on this game. It is the players and programs. |
I had a great time at Cue Stick Cafe. Richard Dawson has an upscale country style pool hall that caters to the social player. His programs are first class
and great to be a part of. We had a nice group of pool players there for my presentation on the Four Strokes of Pool. I am going to certify Richards room
as an I CAME TO WIN pool room so he can be my host when I arrive in Columbus with The Monk Pro Tour. If you are in the Columbus area take time to
visit Cue Stick Cafe. You will have a great time and make sure you tell Richard I send my regards.
