During spring leagues, the Shuffleboard Club sponsors a Ham Shoot—a game of luck where each lane is assigned an obstacle and each player shoots the lane only once before moving to the next lane.
The Ham Shoot will be open to club members and guests on Wednesday, April 4, at 5 p.m. A final competitive tournament will be held Wednesday, May 24, sponsored by Dave LaCascia in honor of his mom who enjoyed LW shuffleboard. First prize is $100, second prize is $75 and third prize is $50.
The newcomer training sessions will continue on Tuesday afternoon from 2-3:30. Current members are invited to come for specific skills practice. Open-play/pick-up games will continue Monday and Wednesday mornings from 9-11, free for any interested LW residents. For those who want to practice in the evenings, the courts are open Tuesdays from 6-8. Call Kay Mount at 775-5270426 for more information.
