Shufflers upset Hot Shots

Game 16 of Shuffleboard league play was held at the Clubhouse 1 courts on April 29. After a hard-fought competition, the Shufflers defeated the Hot Shots 12-6. The Hot Shots are now in first place, with Shufflers in second and Sliders in third.

The Shufflers’ all-game winners were Anita Giroud, Sal LaScala and Kay Mount. The Hot Shots’ all-game winner was club President Carrie Kistner.

Practice times are Mondays and Wednesdays at 9 a.m. Starting time for league play is 8:30 a.m. on Fridays. Players are asked to arrive on time to get a starting position. BYOB practice nights, tournaments and other social events are being planned for Shuffleboard members and their guests.

The first Joan LaCascia Tournament will be held May 27. It will be a three-game tournament, with the top three highest total point scorers being rewarded. Sign-ups are available at the courts.

The club’s general meeting, with nominations and elections for new and/or returning officers, was held May 11 at the Clubhouse 1 courts.

Shuffleboard is an entertaining and challenging game of skill and strategy. No partners are necessary, and all equipment is provided; the only requirement is closed-toe shoes with non-skid soles. To use the Shuffleboard courts, people must be trained in court setup, maintenance and play, with the goal of becoming a participating club member.
