Pool Club

A pool tournament was held June 26 in Clubhouse 2 to determine how many games “C” level players will compete in against Laguna Woods. Laguna Woods will come to Leisure World on Saturday, July 22, for a 48-game match. Later in the year the LW Pool team will be going to Laguna Woods to play.

John Barth, the “C” player with the highest percentage of singles wins during the past league season was given a bye in the tournament and will play in eight games against Laguna Woods. This tournament was held to determine which two of the other five “C” players will play eight games, and which will only play four games against Laguna Woods.

The five players in the round-robin tournament were Connie Adkins, Connie Terry, Guta Basner, “Wild!Fire” Christensen and Shery Wells. Since there were five players, that meant one player had a bye in each round. The two players with the most wins will play all eight games against Laguna Woods.

Christensen won her first three games of eight ball, but lost her last game to Wells. Wells’ fourth and final game was against Terry. Terry left the eight ball hanging in the corner pocket. Wells won that game to go four and zero. Christensen finished second with three wins and only one loss.
