The Coronado/Mainland Shuffler

Just to let you know that we will still be playing our Thursday Morning Four-Play Challenge on Thursday. We will be using the lower courts because they are just finishing the top courts. Hope to see you there at 8:45 AM.

We will also still be playing Thursday night at 6:30 PM on the lower courts.  See you there.

NIDY employees arrived this morning to continue their work. Yesterday they washed and sanded the courts. Today they taped and painted courts 5 thru 12 (including the “Foot“). They will put two coats on the court. Looks really nice so far.

TONIGHT WE WILL PLAY AT REGULAR TIME, BUT ON AN ALTERNATE COURT. Should be able to finish all three games before dark (Sunset 8:23 pm). See you there.  More pictures from Tom yesterday.

The employees from Nidy Sports: Sports Construction Builders arrived early today to refinish our courts. Tom Carbonell (Club President) was there to greet them. They have begun on courts 5 through 12 while we will be able to play on the other courts today and tomorrow. We may not be able to play on our lighted courts on Tuesday night. Please check back tomorrow. We may be able to start an hour early and play on some of the other courts. Stay tuned!

The usual morning clean up crew arrived to prep the courts for the Thursday Morning Four-Play Challenge. Seventeen (17) committed shufflers showed up to meet the Challenge. We each played the usual four matches. When all the games were finished only Dennis Buelk won all four of his matches. CONGRATULATIONS!  Hope to see you all back again next week to enjoy the challenge.  Ciao!

Hi Everyone. This is just a reminder that this month’s Pot Luck Dinner is scheduled for Friday, July 20. The sign up sheet is posted in the Cue House. Please sign up and come join us for an evening of camaraderie and good food. “We have to eat somewhere” Let’s make it with friends. Hope to see you there.

President Tom Carbonell has been in touch with Nidy who have the CMS Club on the schedule to refinish our courts July 16 thru July 30. They plan to stagger the work so that we can continue playing on alternate courts. The only time we might not be able to play (under the lights) is during our nighttime play. Keep a look out for notices about the daily play time schedule for the effected courts during Nidy’s refinishing work.

Hope everyone had a marvelous Independence Day. The usual clean up crew showed up to prepare the courts for the morning challenge. Seventeen (17) ardent shufflers showed up to challenge each other in our Thursday Morning Four-Play. We each played four separate matches, recording our wins after each match. Congratulations go out to Edna Triplett and Dennis Buelk for winning All Four of their matches. Come visit us next week to meet this challenge. Ciao!

This morning the usual clean up crew arrived to clear and prepare the courts for the Thursday Morning Four-Play Challenge. Twenty-One (21) enthusiastic players showed up to meet this challenge. We each picked our courts and partners for four matches. The winning team from each match recorded their win. We congratulate Tom Grubb, Charlie Jones and Zak Wonson for winning all four of their matches. We’ll see you back here next week for more fun and games. Ciao!

The usual crew showed up to clean-up and prepare the courts for the Thursday Morning Four-Play. We only had Thirteen (13) shufflers show up to meet the challenge. It was very hot (87 degrees) and humid (100%) by 9:00 am this morning. After we each played four matches, only Rex Galusha ended up winning all four. Congratulations Rex! Try to come back next week to meet this challenge. Ciao!
