Sometimes playing with friends makes a tournament successful. The Travel Team of the Quail Creek Billiards Club (QCBC) ventured to Voyager RV Resort in Tucson (Kolb Road, south of I-10) on Dec. 14.
QCBC and Voyager competed together in the game of 8-ball. The outcome was Voyager, who won 28 games, and QCBC, who won 20 games.
QCBC’s Travel Team competed well but was not able to overcome Voyager. However, the two teams have been playing together for many years now and have become friends around the pool tables. Playing 8-ball and spending time together made for a wonderful day. It was worthwhile to be there.
The QCBC Travel Team, consisting of the club’s finest pool players, next played Sun City, Oro Valley, on January 11.
Dennis Desmond, the current Travel Team tournament coordinator, will also become the in-house tournament chairperson in 2025.
