SHUFFLEBOARD CLUB
To introduce more LW residents to the game of shuffleboard, the Shuffleboard Club has scheduled two “Learn to Play Shuffleboard” clinics on upcoming consecutive Saturdays, May 4 and 11, from 9:30-11:30 a.m. at the Courts Building located behind Clubhouse 1 on Burning Tree Lane. Veteran members will be there to assist prospective members in learning the basics. No special equipment is needed but closed-toe shoes are required to play.
In addition, two Wednesday evening open play dates are scheduled for May 1 and 8 from 6-8 p.m. They are designed for people who work during the day. Camaraderie and skill improvement are key benefits of open play sessions.
Monday morning open play sessions will resume May 6, from 9-11 a.m. The pick-up games are open to anyone who wants to practice shuffleboard.
With the start of the shuffleboard spring season, three new club members have joined league teams: Connie Terry, Linda Thompson and Karen Powell. In addition, new member Linda Mitchell is regularly substituting for the Friday morning league. All four discovered the Shuffleboard Club during the recent LW Discovery Tour and are demonstrating a talent for the game.
