Then there is the song about Pool -- as recorded by Red  Ingle
a snippet of same goes --
"Pool, pool, pool
What a wonderful game is pool
Pool, Pool, Pool
Can be played by a sage or a fool..."
It is on the CD that Bear Family Records put out of 28 Capitol aides by 
Red and
available from Amazon and other on0line sources as Tim-Tay-Shun: Red 
Ingle and Natural 7.
Personally I prefer fly fishing for trout. They live in the best of 
neighborhoods and are always
a joy to behold -- on the line or in the water. A golf ball in the water 
is just plain ugly!.

down, up, down) Ingle
