Restored shuffleboard courts to open for open play July 24

The Shuffleboard Club will begin its Monday and Wednesday morning open play/pickup games from 9–11 Monday, July 24. This schedule provides sufficient time for the courts to dry thoroughly and for the sealant and wax treatments to season fully after having the long-awaited restoration completed.

Club members are invited to take advantage of the time to practice as the courts will perform quite differently than they have over the last year. As several members have noted, there will be a need to re-learn how to play the courts. The historical twists and turns have been minimized, and the speed of the courts will be altered after being sealed and waxed with new material. The other difference with the courts when play is resumed will be the use of a new material, PolyGlide, to be laid down before game days.
