The Tavares Shuffleboard Club hosted the ND14 Pro Only Draw/Amateur Only Draw on Jan 4, 2024. Rod Lewis was the Director and Edward Jones and All American Washer Werks were the sponsors. It was very windy and cold but happy players.  We had a few new Amateur players too. The tournament was the largest this season.  It was a very cold start in the 40’s but the sun came out to cheers from the players. This is the first time that I can remember when the amateurs outnumbered the pros 36 to 32. George Snyder earned his 200th point to ensure his position in the Northern District Hall of Fame next year. Congratulations George.
