Check out this article called Playing Billiards Provides Therapy, Life Lessons For Locals by Ashley Crane as a Alligator Contributing Writer.
It’s interesting how these people found that billiards is a good form of therapy. By playing they’ve improved their lives all while having fun doing it!
Every Friday at 3 p.m., “Doctor” Robert Ramsthaler gets into his red pickup truck and heads to Main Street Bar & Billiards.
He is not there to drink. He’s there for therapy — “billiard therapy.”
“It’s geometry and motion, but it’s also an excuse for people to gather and talk about life,” Ramsthaler said. “In Britain, they have teatime. In Mexico, they have siesta time. In America, what do we have? More coffee or another drink.”
For Ramsthaler, billiard therapy is an escape from the daily routine that allows people to learn something in a social setting while enjoying themselves.
