Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for August 31, 2023

Calvinball as adapted for pool & golf.

sure, go ahead…if you want to lose your breath.

Friend and I were walking at work one day in March. A man with a mic approached us and asked if we had a pool at work. Friend responded that we didn’t because we worked for the Government. Mic man said, no, the basketball pool. I looked at him and asked why they wanted to drown polo ponies in the pool. Mic man, no, basketball pool. Friend, Who plays basketball in a pool on ponies? Me, quit trying to drown ponies. Mic man, Never mind. On the way back to the office we saw mic man again, Mic man, Do you have…Never mind, not you two again. We high fived each other and went back to work.

Good luck with that…I don’t think she’ll get it the second time…

Lot less walking…no rough…no water hazards…this might catch on…

She’s snookered.

Pool table golf; can never lose all your balls, or even one, great game…

It’s nice that Broomie always wants to try new things.

Broomie always has to do things the hard way! Just shoot the ball with the other end of the club, then making par is a cinch.

I never tried pool-table golf, but in middle school, we spent quite a lot of time playing foozball with a golf ball (because nobody had the right kind of ball for the table).

It worked surprisingly well, but the impact sometimes hurt our wrists.

Hush! She’s having fun. That’s what counts.

I wouldn’t want to touch this one with a ten-foot golf club!

But I will venture that Broomie is only slightly less ept (vs. inept) at pool (a.k.a. pocket billiards) than I was….
