I am going to attempt to write something constructive about our day of pool on this rainy cold Sunday afternoon. Maybe a few of us pool players should have spent the afternoon in that soft Lazy Boy under a nice warm blanket, The day started out with a call that a player wanted to play in the mixed doubles but couldn't find a partner for her and then when we did find one she couldn't make it... Another team called and had to cancel as he was not feeling the best --- so hope that we all can be together one of these first Sundays.....
We started our pool games with a moment of silence and prayer for our friend who passed this morning so sorry Jan H. for your loss.
We ended up with nine teams and each team played eight games... The top two teams were Gayle Steinbeck & Butch Brooker and Barb Brooker & Lorne Evans each winning six games of the eight played...Team Barb Utech & Paul Kelleher won five games. Teams Claudette Hogenson & Bob Nance - Team Lola Wolf & Greg Dowhaniuk and team Sally Kelleher & Don Wolf won four games...
It was the usual fun time. Come join us - the sign-up sheet is up for next Sunday... Thanks to Sally K. for finishing up with the score sheets as I had another engagement
On Monday, January 17th twenty-seven players showed up for Hoss Collar. Karl Pettersen won 1st Place with 549 points; Les McKinney won 2nd Place with 526 points and Bob Davis won 3rd Place with 508 points. Bring a one-dollar bill(no coins please) Come and play, meet new friends, and get some exercise and fresh air. Be there by 6:30PM on both Monday and Wednesday nights.
On Wednesday, January 19th forty-four players showed up for Hoss Collar. Everyone seemed aware that an impending cold front was coming and we were all destined to curtail our outdoor activities for a few days. Hoss Collar is a good way to get fresh air and non-strenuous exercise while meeting new friends. We had several new players and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Moe LaFavre won 1st Place with 652 points; Brent McKee won 2nd Place with 595 points and Karl Pettersen won 3rd Place with 560 points. Team members and courts are chosen by random draw. Come and play it is so easy to learn. We play a more challenging game of shuffleboard on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings starting at 9:00AM. Bring $.30 cents for 3 games of fun. Random draw and very easy to learn as well while getting your Vitamin D.
Take Care!!
