at Scrooge Pub

January 6th at 7:30pm

To help with the promotion of the league we are, once again, featured in Groove magazine this month. Please check out the excellently written article by Liam Ring in print or online. There are also some excellent pictures taken by Nick Bruneau. Click this link.

And finally to help you get fully prepared for the new season we have been sent details (by Jonathan Soderholm) of a fantastic new pool hall called 'The Color of Money' in Ilsan. The club is run by Peter Cho, a professional 9-ball pool player and it has 8 Min tables that kept in excellent condition. The club does a decent burger, has San Miguel on tap and sells a range of top quality accessories and pool cues. More importantly Peter and his business partner Jean Koo offer pool lessons to help you cope with the rigours of facing the stiff competition thrown up by the IPL each week. These lessons are very reasonably priced and Peter is even willing to come to Itaewon to help out players from beginners to advanced. It's a brilliant opportunity to improve your game ahead of the regular season. Please feel free to check out the club and look it up on Facebook. With a name like 'The Color of Money' how can you go wrong.
