32 | OHCC LIVING | FEBRUARY 2020 |
The Billiards Club February schedule is full of opportunities
to learn more skills and games. If you missed the first three basic
lessons presented last month, video is available on our website,
ohccbilliards.wixsite.com/billiardsclub under "Lessons." If you
haven't joined the Billiards Club yet, it's
only $7 per year, which includes lessons,
tournaments, and special events almost every
week from January through October.
On Thurs., Feb. 6, at 1:30 pm, we will
offer Basic Lesson #4: The Ultimate Goal:
POSITION. After the first three basic lessons
you know what you need to do to control
the cue ball. This fourth lesson will put it
all together for you. In the final analysis,
controlling where the cue ball goes is the most
important pool skill you can have.
Join us on Thurs., Feb. 13, at 1:30 pm for
a Mixer Lesson to learn three of our most
popular games – 8-Ball, Cut-Throat and Golf. You and your partners
will spend 20 minutes learning and playing each game under the
expert tutelage of one of our top players. After each game, you'll
advance to a new table to learn another game with new playing
partners. It's a great way to learn these games and to meet other
players.
At 1:30 pm on Thurs., Feb. 27, the Billiards Club will present
one of our highlight events, the "Starting out Right" Seminar with
Professional Calvin Coker. This is your
opportunity to see a real pro put it all
together in a single session. Everything
clearly explained and demonstrated: stance,
grip, bridge, stroke, and the pre-shot routine.
Prior to his seminar, Calvin will be
available for individual lessons. Calvin has
taught thousands of students for decades,
and he will make a difference in your game.
It's $20 for 15 minutes. See Charlie Payne to
reserve a time, or phone him at (760) 295-
0670.
At 1 pm, Calvin will show a selection of
good cues for $80 to $200+. You are welcome
to ask questions, try the cues out on our tables, and even get their
weight adjusted, all at prices well below what the stores charge. This
is a great opportunity to move up from our $20 beginner cues. Show
up early if you want first choice.
