Shuffleboard Club offers two Saturday open plays
The Shuffleboard Club invites anyone interested in learning the sport of shuffleboard to attend an open play/initial training for the next two Saturdays, Jan. 20 and 27, at the courts building on Burning Tree Lane, adjacent to the back side of Clubhouse 1. The courts building will be open from 10 a.m. to noon.
Current league members attend open play dates to practice skills and to spend time with good friends. The club provides all equipment needed; however, closed-toe shoes with rubber soles are required to play.
Winter league has begun and is scheduled to run until mid-March. All nine teams have seven members, ensuring the six positions needed for each competition. Each scheduled date to play league games requires a minimum of six players for each team. Four teams go head-to-head when the Friday morning league plays from 8:30-11 and the Tuesday evening league plays from 5:308. Guests are invited to stop by to watch teams in friendly competition and enjoy the lively banter between courts.
