Shuffleboard Club announces fall team lineups
Forty-seven club members attended the monthly general membership club meeting on Sept. 14. Excitement permeated the room as fall league schedules and 10 teams were announced. Veteran club members were quick to welcome the 16 new members, and about half of the meeting was dedicated to sharing traditional “best practices” of the upcoming league play.
Two team captains, Sally Fowler and Rod Osgood, will serve two teams each, one for the Friday morning league and one for the Tuesday evening league. The other captains include Carol Johnson, Milly Larsen, Shel Magnuson, Karen Mendon, Jack O’Brien and Chandra Patel.
On Sept. 19, the evening league opened the 10-week schedule. Results for both the Tuesday night games and the Friday morning games will be reported next week in the LW Weekly.
Last fall, there were six league teams, with each team having on average eight players. This season the club will host 10 teams with six or seven players on each team, representing a significant overall increase of players. All six shuffleboard courts will be occupied for both leagues on Tuesday evenings and Friday mornings.
Open play practice opportunities will continue Monday and Wednesday mornings from 9-11 a.m. The club provides all needed equipment. Closed-toe shoes are required as a safety precaution. Anyone interested in knowing more about the game of shuffleboard is invited to attend. There will be veteran members available to provide support to learn the basics of the game.
