On Monday, Cindy, Zak, Arlene, Jerry, Stan and Marty Bystrom all joined together to help train a group of 27 new members to our shuffleboard club from the New Smyrna Yacht Club. They had a great time and really enjoyed learning a new “sport”. Welcome to our club! See you on the courts.

27 Brand new Members

Today we set up the courts for the Singles Mingles Challenge.  We had Thirteen Amateurs and once again only Five Pro/State Ams come to play.  I believe that this way of playing will help our amateurs become more comfortable with the game but we need to get more Pro qualified people participating to help them learn.   The next Singles Mingles is Wednesday February 2nd at 11:30 am. Thanks to Dennis for all the hard work.

Pros/State Ams
First Place:  Debbie Evans with 240 points (4 games)
Second Place: Dennis Buelk with 227 points (4 games)
Third Place:  Bonnie Radke with 171 points (3 games) 

Amateurs
First Place: Bob Augusto with 347 points (5 games)
Second Place: Jack Koppelman with 319 points (4 games)
Third Place:   Judy Menard with 193 points (3 games)

Hope to see all of you for our next Singles Mingles.  Let’s see if we can’t get some more Pros to show up.  This is really good practice for our tournament on January 27th.  This is a No Two Pros Tournament so we need to get our Amateurs paired up with our Pros.   Ann Ferguson still needs a Pro for a partner. See you on the courts.

Under Scoring: This is for Future Reference!

4. If a tie game results at the game point (75) or over, play is continued in regular rotation of play, until two full rounds in Doubles or one full round in
   Singles is completed. At that time the side with the higher score wins, even if it has less than 75 points or the number of points specified as game
   points. If the score is tied again, play continues again as above outlined
