Wanted to resurrect this thread to see if any INGO members may have joined the APA since it's original posting. I play with a team on Thursday evenings, and having a great time with great people.
Years ago I played a lot of pool and could hold my own with just about anyone. Now I'm re-learning the fundamentals and loving it.
The APA has a handicapping method that does a good job of equalizing abilities so that the players that aren't Willie Masconi of Jeanette Lee can compete with those who are. The teams are coed which make it even more fun.
