Club answers “What exactly is a turkey shoot?”

SHUFFLEBOARD CLUB

The easy and somewhat evasive answer to what is the Shuffleboard Club Turkey Shoot is that it’s the fall version of the spring Ham Shoot, but that doesn’t say much. The best answer is to come down to the shuffleboard courts on Saturday, Nov. 14, from 3-6 p.m., halfway down Burning Tree Lane to the separate building next to Clubhouse 1, to find out for sure. Arrive ready for the merriment Another good answer would be that it throws all the normal game rules aside and players face new challenges. The third answer is more specific—it involves different non-traditional but fun strategies in each of the six court lanes.

Tuesday and Friday League play will officially end next week, Nov. 17 and Nov. 20, respectively. Five teams have actively participated in each of the leagues during the fall season.

Oct. 27 Tuesday League Results: Team Lynne triumphed over Team Sue 7-5 and Team Sally surpassed Team Bob 7-5. All game winners were Sally Fowler, James Hann and Judy Hulin.

Oct. 30 Friday League Results: Team Rod beat Team Patti 7-5 and Team Susan lead Team Carol 9-3. There were lots of all game winners including Marilyn Blackmun, Vivian Ceballos, Sally Fowler, Lynne Haines, Susan Hopewell, Milly Larson, Rod Osgood, Linda Peters and Bob Peterson.
