Balls, tables, cues are accumulated by the millions and darn few make much of a living at supplying pool gear. Golf balls get lost, and every golfer wants a new set of sticks every couple of years, but pool players will keep the same cue for 40 years. Check out the articles to the left. It will show you how goofy we can be.

Otto's Garden Room
http://www.carlopool.com/otto's_garden_room.htm
A Legend in his Own Mind. Little Otto’s Garden Room. Little Otto’s Garden Room is located near Los Gatos, California along Bascom which shortly turns into Los Gatos Boulevard.
