Shuffleboard Club spring season has begun

Ageneral Shuffleboard Club membership meeting will be held today, April 10, in Clubhouse 1 at 10 a.m.

After a week off between the end of the winter season and the beginning of the spring season, the club played all of last week with three instead of two teams for the first time in its history.

The newly formed spring groups have five teams playing Tuesday evenings, and four teams playing on both Thursday afternoons and Friday mornings. There are 10 stalwart returning captains and three new ones who came forward to volunteer for the new Thursday teams. Hats off to the three new captains—Anita Giroud, Lynne Haines and Kay Mount.

Tuesday teams should arrive no later than 5:30 p.m. for their 6-8 games. Thursday teams should arrive no later than 1 p.m. for their 1:30-3:30 games. Friday teams should arrive no later than 9 a.m. for their 9:3011:30 games.

The club’s traditional ham shoot is scheduled for Wednesday, April 16, at 5:30 p.m. Also that week, the courts will be closed in observance of Maundy Thursday, April 17, and Good Friday, April 18. A tentative date of May 12 has been set for the club to play the Laguna Woods teams. A sign-up sheet is available at the courts.

April 1 Tuesday evening league results: Team Karen gained on Team Sally 9-3. Team Karen’s all-game winners were Lynne Haines, Judy Hulin, and Bob and Barb Ponegalek.
