“Pool is Pool”… Really Megan?
February 18th, 2008 by poolcuereview
It seems that there are no longer enough tournaments for card carrying WPBA members anymore as the #20 WPBA player, Megan Minerich, made her way down to Hagerstown, MD to in an effort to win 400 bucks against players who are theoretically well below her skill level. As either a testament to how good the players are on the Tiger Planet Pool tour or how bad Megan is, Minerich failed in her quest to gain a fistful of $20’s by losing to Linda Shea and eventual winner Ming Ng (wait… isn’t she on the WPBA tour too?).
In all fairness to Ms. Minerich, she’s not the only one doing this. Karen Corr plays on the Joss NE tour, Helena Thornfeldt and Monica Webb were recently spotted playing on the Ladies Spirit Tour and the list goes on and on. For me, this would be the equivalent to seeing PGA cardholders playing on the Nationwide (formally Nike) Tour.
In the end, you can pretty much lay the blame on the WPBA President. Let’s face it, the tour is a mess. Prize money is so bad that the WPBA won’t even tell anyone how little the players are winning and perennial runner up to Allison Fisher, Karen Corr still can’t get a sponsor no matter how many WPBA final events she’s in.
