FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | APRIL 2023 53 Your 8-Ball Club is off to a great start with lots of practice and tournaments. We practice Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 6:30 to 9 pm. We hold a meeting on the first Wednesday of each month, an 8-Ball tournament on the second Wednesday of the month, and a 9-Ball tournament on the fourth Wednesday of the month. We now are playing four additional 8-Ball tournaments each month: two with Solera Oak Valley (1615 Fairway Dr., Beaumont) and two with Solera Diamond Valley (1645 Paseo Diamante, Hemet). We are starting our fundraising again with the collection of aluminum cans. The collections are on the first Wednesday of the month on the night of the club meeting. Bring your aluminum cans to support our coffee supplies, 8-Ball summer get-together, and our Christmas dinner. In February, we played tournaments against Solera Oak Valley and Diamond Valley. The in-house tournament saw Larry Rice being sent to the loser bracket in the second round by Scott Frymire. Scott continued to win to get to the final match where he met up with Larry again. Larry, coming from the loser bracket, had to win two games against Scott while Scott needed to win just one game to wrap up a win. Larry seemed to get all the breaks in the games and won both games to become February's 8-Ball tournament winner. Congratulations to Larry, this month's 8-Ball champion, and to Scott, the 8-Ball runner up. If you're new to the game or have played before, don't be shy — stop by, pick up a stick, and give us a try. Walk in and ask for Del, Larry, or any of the members playing. We are always looking for new members who would like to learn and play pool. There is a calendar of our events in The Lodge Billiards Room on the 8-Ball Club bulletin board. If you have any questions, contact one of the officers: Captain Del Lyles, Sr. at (951) 845-5114 or Co-Captain Larry Rice at (951) 236- 1156. If no one answers, just leave a message one of us will get back to you. ~ Larry Rice 8-Ball Club Curly Cues Billiards Curly Cues is gradually getting new players and we welcome any ladies at any level of playing. We play on Mondays from 11 am until 1 pm in the Billiards Room. Come on down and start your Mondays with a fun group of ladies enjoying the game and the easy camaraderie.
