Today we hosted the Senior Games Shuffleboard Competition. After an all night rain, Tom Carbonell and the usual clean up crew showed up early to start the coffee, set the tables, dry the courts and set up for the day’s challenge. We had Sixteen (16) men and Twelve (12) women sign up to play. Dennis Buelk called us all to order at 9:00 and explained the game and how to play. We played twelve frames and managed to get in three games before the rain came.  Following the games we all met at the Clubhouse and Dennis tallied up the scores.

Congratulations to the winners:

Women:
Lorretta Cantalupa     Gold
Linda Liquori               Silver
Babe Hembling            Bronze

Men:
Rex Galusha         Gold
John Fortini         Silver
Bob Tager            Bronze

Thank you to Kimla Shelton from the Babe James Community Center (Leisure Services) and the city for supplying the donuts and the medals for our challenge.  Hope to see you all here again next year.

We received word that the Any Doubles Tournament on November 21st, 2019 (ND11) at Orange City has been cancelled. Construction work on the parking lot and surrounding area which was initially expected to be completed by the end of October will now extend into 2020.
If there are any clubs willing to host this tournament please send an e-mail to Lorraine Layton by October 23rd. If several clubs apply for the tournament it will be brought up at the ND meeting October 26th and the board will decide who will host this tournament.

Please note that as the season has started, I am once again posting the Masters Points on our website under 2020 Masters Points. The point schedule has changed this year. You now receive 5,4,3,2 2,1,1, 1/2 points for your wins.  I am using a (*) to notate a players participation in a tournament.  You must participate in five tournaments in order to qualify with points for the Masters.

I also will be posting partner requests on our Bulletin Board section.  Please let me know if you need a partner.   Good luck this season.

The Northern District has asked me to let our members know about the Golden Age Games being held in Sanford. Nov 1 – 10th.   For more information Click Here:  .  This is similar to our Senior Games in October.

Please note that it is Time To Pay Your Dues for the season. All members playing in the tournaments for Northern District and State need to be a paid member of a club.    The first State tournament is in Hawthorne, Oct 1st.  You can pay Bonnie, Dennis, Arlene or Tom.  Thank you for your attention to this matter.

People keep asking me when we start afternoon play.  From our website!
“The Coronado/Mainland Shuffleboard Club “winter” schedule starts November 1st: Daily play begins at 1:30 pm Monday thru Friday and Saturday play though out the year is at 10:00 am (except on Board Meeting Days). We also play Tuesday and Thursday nights at 6:30 pm all year long. Members are advised to be 15 minutes early to help prepare the courts for play (sweep, bead, put out disks, chalk, seat-pads etc.)”

The usual clean up crew arrived to clean the courts and ready them for the last Thursday Morning Four Play Challenge of the season. We had Twenty (20) shufflers show up for the challenge. After playing four matches, recording the scores after each match and drawing new courts and partners, we congratulate Edna Triplett and Mouse (Bob) Wolven for winning all four of their matches. This was the last game of the season.

We start Singles Mingles for club members on Tuesday, Oct. 22, 2019 at (8:45 am) 9:00 am play.  Singles Mingles will continue through the playing season on the second and fourth Tuesday of the month.  The entry fee is $2.00 per player which is then divided among the winners.  Hope to see you there.  Ciao.

More very sad news. Louise “Honey” Donnelly passed away on Sept 18, 2019. (3/7/1933 – 9/18/19) Honey was an avid shuffleboard player for many years and had been a member of both Deland and CMS Clubs. She was always here helping out and giving everyone a big welcoming hug. She will be sorely missed by all. Her obituary can be found at Legacy.com website.
