Shufflers defeat Sliders

Game 17 of Shuffleboard league play was held at the Clubhouse 1 courts on May 6. In a challenging match, the Shufflers squeaked by the Sliders 10-8. The Sliders’ all-game winners were Linda Peters, Mo Habel and John Mount. The Hot Shots are in first place, with the Shufflers in second and Sliders third.

The starting time for league play is 8:30 a.m. on Fridays. Players should arrive on time to get a starting position. At the club’s general meeting on May 11, Kay Mount was elected as president. Remaining in their current positions are Mo Habel, secretary; Ellie West, first vice present, Sunshine; Sally Fowler, treasurer; and Dave LaCascia, communications and publicity. The group thanked retiring President Carrie Kistner, who directed the Shuffleboard Club through a very interesting two years of COVID. 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 rewarded. Sign-ups are available at the Courts.

Everyone is invited to join the Shuffleboard Club to play an entertaining, challenging game of skill and strategy. Practice times are Mondays and Wednesdays at 9 a.m. No partners are necessary, and all equipment is provided. Players must wear closed-toe shoes with non-skid soles. Anyone using the Shuffleboard Courts must first be trained in court setup, maintenance and play, with the goal of becoming a participating club member.

BYOB practice nights, tournaments and other social events continue to be planned for Shuffleboard members and their guests. Contact Dave LaCascia at (801) 674-5975 for more information.
