FROM ELSIE’S POOL ROOM... TO ESPN “TRICK SHOTS”... TO A PHILIPPINES CHICKEN COOP!

On many occasions players have asked me about my “life and game” journey and some of the unique experiences encountered along the way. Looking back I see how specific venues became catalysts and/or “equip- ping points” for yet one more opportunity to enjoy a new adventure. Three of these moments in billiard history embrace my memory banks and I would like to share them with you.

My first experience was Elsie’s Pool Room in Minonk, Illinois in 1959. Elsie was a great lady and ran a 3-table room with motherly discipline and a high respect for the game of pool. At the age of 10 my father took me into Elsie’s to introduce me to the “sights and sounds” of what has become for me a magnetic attraction and heartfelt passion for over 5 decades. I swept the floors, delivered food orders to the players, filled the pop cooler, and “racked” the pool balls when someone yelled “RACK” - earning 10% of what was taken in on a Saturday night. In addition, Elsie gave me a special “perk” - a gigantic bag of golden brown French fries, which I graciously shared with my father on the way home! The foundation of the game (and life) learned at Elsie’s has become a stewardship anchor for me to present day.

Moving forward to ESPN days reveals a memorable series of events (Trick Shot Magic and World Cup of Trick Shots). After years of mechanical, mental, mathematical, and spirit-filled equipping I entered the ESPN arena for the first time in 2002 to garner a championship victory that can only be explained as miraculous in nature. To read the entire story entitled: “The Angel, The Mountain, and The Victory” please visit: www.drcuepromo- tions.com (click on the “Schedule/Travelogue” menu tab; then, the “story behind the story” - 2002 ESPN). The individual format for Trick Shot Magic and the team format for the World Cup of Trick Shots provided a competi- tive awareness and special fellowship interactions that would equip me for future faith - inspired steps in my journey.

The third “life and game” experience leaving an indelible mark in my mind and heart happened in 2012 in the Philippines. I was doing a 4-week ministry outreach with Gospel Trick Shot Ministries sharing the “good news”, faith-driven testimonials, and RACK Vision principles (also found on www.drcuepromo- tions.com). A few days before we flew home, a local pastor asked our “outreach” team to do one final presentation at a small village room with one pool table in it. What a surprise when we arrived! A makeshift playfield sat upon wobbly legs, which sat upon a mud floor. It would take a miracle to garner “pool results” on the table from the shots that would be shown, but then again, we were not there for “pool results” - we were there to share a special message of hope and joy to a packed house, so to speak! People gathered inside the “miniature” building like sardines in a can (a literal chicken coop), while others peered through 2 open-air windows, a narrow doorway, and small cracks in the walls. During the presentation, a chicken casually strolled across the floor, taking everything in stride, as if to enjoy the roll (and stories) going on above. The facial expressions and vocal responses of each person there confirmed they “got the message” amid the “unusual, and yet special space” we were allowed to share in.

May each of you experience special and often “unique” circumstances in your cue sport journey, and may you always “enjoy the roll” until next time when... The “Doctor’s In” The Drs In...

22 8-Ball News & Views Billiards With Briesath

Two More National Championships In The Record Books

By Jerry Briesath

Las Vegas, Nevada and Erie, Pennsylvania had the best amateurs in the country compet- ing for their respective championships. Every year the skill level seems to climb higher and higher whether it’s in the Regular Divisions or the Masters Divisions in Vegas or the 12 year olds and the 18 year olds in the Junior Division. With more instructors in the U.S. and videos to watch and lessons to watch on YouTube, it’s easy to see why those skill levels are getting better and better every year. Remember, it is never too early to start preparing for next year. Start working on the things that you had trouble with in the tournament, whether it’s cut shots or banks or kicks or safeties or controlling the cue ball on the break. Get online and find instructors in your area that can help you with your game. The VNEA has an Instructor Program and the PBIA has more than 250 certified instructors in the U.S. that can bring your game up a notch or three. You might want to check out my DVD set which contains three DVD’s with more than four and a half hours of solid information to help your game. Have a great summer and see you next year.

Good luck... Jerry.

The heart-pounding excitement of the Opening Ceremonies at the 37th Annual VNEA World Pool Championships in Las Vegas, Nevada was the perfect setting for the induction of the newest members of the VNEA Hall of Fame.

With players gathered from all over the world and all of VNEA’s dignitaries in attendance, the stage was set for the introduction of the 2017 VNEA Amateur Pool Player Hall of Fame inductees. Receiving this prestigious honor, along with an exclusive Hall of Fame Jacket, Certificate and limited edition VNEA Hall of Fame Trading Card Set, were the following players:

• Janet Anseeuw - C & N Sales (MN) • Tammie George - Wyoming Amusement (WY) • Chris Glass - Superior Vending (MN) • David Smith - Derrick Music (WV) • Steve Sones - Melodee Music (IA)

At the conclusion of the induction ceremonies, the new Hall of Fame members cordially min- gled with admirers and signed autographs for those seeking keepsakes. The “2017 Class” brings the VNEA Hall of Fame Membership to 120 players. Our congratulations to these very special players. LIFETIME MEMBERS

At the Annual President’s Reception, during the 37th Annual VNEA World Championships, a very honorable presentation took place for 2 very special long time VNEA family members. These 2 people have performed their duties and carried themselves in such an honorable fashion throughout the years that the title Lifetime Members seems to be a perfect match. For their remarkable efforts, Craig Dumdei (C & N Sales) along with Naomi Thomsen (Alliance) were awarded beautiful hardwood encased, etched brass Lifetime Sanction Cards.

Exemplifying ingenuity, longevity, adaptability, creativity and many other attributes, these remarkable people have earned their standing as VNEA Lifetime Members. Congratulations!
