HELLO VISITOR! WELCOME TO K-O's HOME ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB!


K-O was founded in July of 1989 with the humble beginnings of doing exhibitions in area
game rooms throughout the southeast. Pool cues (main line Meucci), cases, hand chalk, tip
chalk, books, videos, magazines, tip tappers, and other supplies were offered at the shows.
K-O serviced businesses such as Super Sports Arcade in Evergreen, Andalusia, Opp and
Luverne, Alabama, Samson Gameroom in Samson, and River City Arcade in Geneva.

K-O bought out the Samson Gameroom from David Johnson and J.B. Slay in 1991. Housed
in the combined old drugstore and barber shop, K-O moved to the now Samson Police
Department building in 1993 with thanks to Mr. Waylon Ward for purchasing the
building for the home of K-O.

In 1994, K-O opened a second facility in Enterprise, Alabama on College Street where the
ice cream shop Milky Moo's now exists near the courthouse. After the ceiling fell in
onto the cues and supplies in the Samson K-O, it was closed.
So K-O was back to one facility again.

In early 1996, K-O moved out to Park Avenue where Seitz Scientific Industries is now.
Since there was a bandstand there, K-O hosted many concert, dance, and karaoke events.
The place was hopping!

In April 2001 K-O relocated from the 8000 square foot building at 1931 East Park Avenue
to the 5000 square foot building (old AT & T, Rent-a-Center, Polaris building) at
924 Rucker Boulevard. Come visit our new building!

K-O Billiards Club is a friendly spot to play pool and games, socialize, relax, have fun,
take a break and learn about pool.

K-O Cues and Repairs is our pro shop which is located within K-O Billiards' building.

The building is a large 5000 square foot facility. It is located approximately 100 feet
off of the main highway leading to and from Fort Rucker on the corner of Rucker Boulevard
and Springdale Drive near Wendy's hamburgers and Morgan Square Mall.

UPDATE 08/30/2011: After 22 years in business without offering alcohol products, the
economy is taking its toll on K-O's future. The process has begun to secure a license in
order that K-O can offer beer and wine coolers to our customers over 21. Hopes are that
this process is complete by October 1, 2011.

UPDATE 12/09/2011: K-O Billiards is now licensed for alcohol!!

UPDATE 07/29/2016: We are still "breaking" after 30 years in business! Thank YOU!

UPDATE 03/28/2020: Due to nCOVID19, Gov. Ivey mandated all non-essential businesses
in Alabama close until April 17th at 5pm. We were finally allowed to reopen May 1.

Penalties: BOT (Ball Off Table) penalty is $1.00 penalty to be paid into Rockola juke
box for each ball knocked off of the table. This is to train shooters to keep ball on
table to avoid hitting someone or maybe knocking out someone's teeth, and not damaging the balls.

There is a $1.00 entry fee per person per entry. One hour minimum on all drop pocket tables.
After first hour the time is broken down into five minute increments at the rate of $3.00 per
hour per person.

Tip and ferrule work are performed in-house by Phyllis, if time and crowd allows at that moment.

UPDATE: Larry passed away on November 28, 2006. The only in-house repairs offered now are
tips and ferrules.

As of October 29, 2015, the Enterprise American Poolplayers Association league pool
teams play every Thursday night from 6 to around 11pm.
As of October 1, 2017, APA 8 ball was added on Wednesday nights.
COME JOIN A TEAM!!
UPDATE: May 8, 2019 K-O Billiards is no longer affiliated with, nor supports, the APA.
The 2016 and 2017 Local Team Champions for the SW GA and SE AL league played out
of K-O Billiards, winning the trip to Vegas!


Main line of professional custom cue offered for sale is none other than
The Standard of the Industry-MEUCCI.
K-O thanks Mr. Bob Meucci for manufacturing such a great playing custom cue!

Phyllis is Meucci certified factory direct dealer

K-O offers an in-house warranty for repair against any manufacturing defect on any new
Meucci cue for one year after purchase from K-O. If your purchase is from K-O and you
would like tip freshened while at K-O, there will be no charge. This costs others $3.00.

UPDATE: March 2022 K-O Billiards' tournaments are being put on hold until Phyllis is well from
her cancer diagnosis.
Her sister Vonnie will open only on Friday, Saturday, and Sundays at 7pm until further notice.
We depart here around 2:30am, spend the day at UAB, and arrive home late. So K-O Billiards
for the first time in 33 years will not be open 365 days per year. I am sorry for this. But, please do pray for me. Thank you.

It should not have to be said, but here goes: NO outside alcohol, NO drugs, NO weapons,
NO violence or any type of altercation should be brought onto this property
. It is not
permitted, allowed, condoned, tolerated or welcomed on these premises. What you do before
you come to K-O or after you leave is none of my business, but what you do on these premises
IS my business. I make it my business.

You will love her, but be watchful of Mama Bear (Phyllis)! As the name implies, she listens
to your problems with genuine concern and offers her shoulder and an ear, but when you crap
in HER den she will DEFINITELY snarl, growl and bite! If you crap in her den, she will
take and shovel it back at you! Otherwise, she will bend over backwards to make you feel
at home and to help you.

Larry was our in-house walking-billiards-encyclopedia. If you did not truly
want to know something pertaining to billiards, you should not have asked! He was very
knowledgeable on this subject. Should he not have known an answer (which I doubt), you
could give him a bit of time and he would find your answer.
But we no longer have Larry with us. Larry kept his appointment with God on
November 28, 2006. We miss him so very much. Rest in Heavenly Peace, darlin'.....



Phyllis, J.R. Goff (living legend and our hero) and my Larry
UPDATE: Our dear friend Junior Goff kept his appointment with God on April 6, 2018.
Gone but never forgotten....Rest in Heavenly Peace, Junior

While in the area, visit our world famous (*giggles*) Bollweevil Monument.
Ft. Rucker houses a wonderful Army Aviation Museum which is a site to behold.

If you have family roots in the area,
the Pea River Historical and Genealogical Society

PRHGS Museum.

There are two cyber cafe/coffee houses in our area also.

The closest motels to K-O are the Budget Inn, Comfort Inn and Ramada Inn.
There is also a Holiday Inn Express about two miles from K-O.

For dining purposes and excellent food, I recommend

There is a WalMart supercenter within a mile of K-O with two malls between K-O and WalMart.
Enterprise is home of many specialty shops and antique dealers.
