I posted this article section but I though it should be here as well.

You can go on foosball.com and find foosball in every city in the country. I do that.
So make sure you update your states local info.

Edit:
Here's a longer video clip of the same interview
http://www.pgatour.com/video/ (then search for "foosball")

That..... is sweet. Although I didn't like the terminology of "Crack house for foosball"
-
Actually, he was pretty negative about the House saying no furniture and crack house comment. He was positive about foosball, however not the people that play it saying it is "underground group of people."
Just make take on it.

uh... I think the house actually had no furniture in it... on the other board someone posted: http://www.foosballboard.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=8827&start=0 about having an empty house with no furniture. So anyway he showed up because of that post... The house was empty... and it was something of a crackhouse for foosball players. He meant well but probably phrased it a little poorly. He was probably trying to say that it would be an addictive house for foosballers to go to a lot. like a crack house to someone who is addicted to crack..
Either way at least it created some publicity for the sport

So you watched that, too? I played for years at Brass Ring Pub in North Palm Beach, FL. We know and remember Paul and Ted. He would call Ted Scott, who used to caddy for him, too, for the Honda Classic and maybe the Mirasol, both done at the PGA National courses about 4 miles from there.
Paul would come in from his Sarasota home, and Ted from Lafayette, Louisiana, where he grew up playing, I believe with another player y'all may know, Terry Rue. So several nights during the tournament week they'd both be there at the Brass Ring. Ted Scott's a hell of a golfer, too, when he isn't caddying. Nationwide tour I believe. I guess Paul plays in Sarasota with their group when he's home, when he can.
Paul is an excellent fooser, with all the shots. Ted of course, plays at the Pro level, maybe higher, plus he's got good Zoller D, too, of course. Jezz lak all th'all Homa and Lafayette boyz do!
