I'd rather be lucky than good....

Last night those words came true...I played in a 9-ball tournament at a pool hall called Grady's...It was named after a fine pool player named Grady Mathews...He passed away recently and will be missed...After just watching the tournaments over the past few weeks I decided o try my hand at one...Since I haven't played much pool in many months and ...that I am recuperating from breaking my hip a little over two months ago...I was skeptical of my out come...

This is a signed old photo of me and probably the most famous pool player of all time, "Willie Mosconi" (He was GOOD!)
But I was lucky...very lucky and walked away with the first place prize...I think that was at 6:30 this morning...I never lost a set...I started off with a "BYE" and then played five more times...Was I good?  I should have been beat by every player I faced but last night was my night and I was "LUCKY"...(Go figure)
