About Govert-Jan Vos

My name is Govert-Jan Vos, born in 1978 in The Hague, the Netherlands. I'm a controller by profession and a pool player by heart. As president of the regional competition I'm promoting the sport in our region and I organize a series of tournaments, which is concluded by a grand finale. I'm playing pool for over 25 years now. I had my share of ups and downs. It was the game of one pocket that recently reignited my passion for pool. It's my hope for one pocket to take over Europe!

I was 14 years old and had some time in between classes at my high school. A friend suggested to go to het Dijkje Duinzigt, the local pool room down the road. That was the start of a 25-year love affair with pocket billiards.

Hi, I’m Pepijn and will probably try to get you to play one pocket.

ONE POCKET SERIES

I love one pocket, started writing about it, therefore launched this website, and started the One Pocket Series (a Dutch one pocket tour) shortly after.
