Yes it’s been a while but was recently introduced to a friend of a friend and while chatting to him it became obvious that he was a massive snooker fan as the conversation was dominated by all things snooker.
I said that I used to played quite regularly and was on the clubs local league team but the club sold the property and relocated ..but something had been lost + other events in life took over and my cue stayed in its case..he (Steve) then stated that he had a table set up in the “potting shed” and invited me over.
The cue came out and I must have at some point purchased 3x Talisman’s so decided to remove the Elk and replace with a Talisman… I also did some work on the cue (grain filler and a re-finish.
The potting shed is a joy to play in …plenty of room, dartboard, snooker memorabilia, nice table. Been going once or twice a week for 2-3 months as it’s only a 30 mins drive.
Steve is not only a snooker fan but is a half decent player …he’s had a 68 but often gets 30+ in frames.
So I’ve definitely got the bug back and my game has improved from the 1st time in the shed having not held a cue for 7-8 years …the last 2 visits I’ve come away with a 6-3 and a 7-4 but you know how it goes, probably get smashed next week lol
