I love the Sportman's Lodge and I have the greatest respect for Bill and all that he does for us. I have never had a problem or a bad experience there but within the last month or so a noticeable change has occured, in my opinion.

Lately every time I have come into Sportmans in the late afternoon or especially in the evening it seems there are lots of Ticos playing pool. I do not mind waiting my turn but I do not want to wait an hour to play....nor do I want to accept a different interperation of the rules every time I play.

If a person wants to SPEND their money in an establishment then I respect completely why management would want them as customers. Since I do not see Ticos spending much money there (some even bring in their own refreshments) I am asking for a reality check.

Certainly the pool table should be first and foremost for paying guests - I have the utmost respect for that. And I admit upfront that I am not a hotel guest just a guy in off the street. Is it just me or has a change ocurred?

Hey Buddy,

Whether they are Tico or Gringo just ask for the next game. They would need to give up the table, if not let me know and I will ask them to give up the table or go. Its that easy.

Thanks,

Bill

I'm a little confused. You're complaining that Tico's are spending too much time on the pool table, but then - you admit that you're not even a paying guest of SL ?? I'm not flaming you, but I don't understand why you should be given "preferencial pool treatment" over them??

Respectfully,
MG :?

I would agree with Bigbambu's observation. Saw this first hand last night. Young tica, seemed nice but thought he should own the table till someone beat him. Saw him have a hissy about the table around thanksgiving.

Isn't that how it works? You put up your quarters and get the next game against the guy who "has" the table? :?

Bill can't put a sign out front that says "Gringos only". This is Costa Rica afterall. :?

Sounds like you need to improve your game if you want to play more often. :P

Personally, I would rather spend my time having the available ladies handle my stick and balls rather than playing pool with my own stick. I can play all the pool I want back in Siberia. The way I see it, any guys just playing pool at SL means more chicas available for conversation.

What is the name of the biilards game that Ticos play? It's been years since I've shot pool down there so I forgot.

Usually I only get to shot pool whgen in CR (SL). It's a nice change of pace from being down on the farm. And, there is always a chica who wants to shoot a game or two before the bedroom pool shoot :lol:
