So what does one do when they have never played pool (sober) and know literally nothing about it? (I even forgot what it meant to 'scratch' was).
You join a pool league. Yes, that's right, I am in a pool league.
I actually was roped into it. My friend Mandy mentioned being in it, and I kind of shot down the idea because I have never played. Well "be a sub then". "Ok" I say.
Fast froward 1 1/2 months later...Oh hey Miranda, our pool league starts the 26th.
Me - " ..................... . Oooook."
So here I am, about to go play pool for the second time ever on a team. I will say I am either a somewhat good player that didn't know it, or I had beginners luck. We are second in the league and we won 6 out of 10 games last week.
So now I am trying to learn terminology like "kitchen", "english" "double railed/s?"
Now I ask, any pool players out there? Tips? I mean the other teams I play against bring their own sticks/cues whatever. One even lit up last week. They mean business.
And I just hope I don't embarrass myself.
*Now I'm debating adding a picture. Just to make this post more interesting....hmmm let me go see"
This speaks the truth.
* Peace & Pool *

That's awesome you're in a pool league! The closest I've ever played a game was online lol. My dad has a table at my grandmas but usually we just rolled the balls in the pockets.
Good luck in the league. Sounds like you're off to a good start!
That sounds like a ton of fun! I have zero tips, unfortunately, but there used to be a pool hall in our town growing up where we'd hang out in high school - mostly to meet boys:)
