We have now started playing with our fall/winter hours and more people are
coming out to play because of the later starting time. Also, thanks to Saphire
and the maintenance crew, the cracks have now been ground down flat. This
enables our play to be more enjoyable and our shots more accurate, making for a
better game. So come on out and join one of the fastest growing groups of Four
Seasons residents in a competitive game that is easy to learn and is played in a
friendly, relaxed atmosphere. We are always looking for new people to come and
join our fun group. If it has been a long time since you have played or perhaps
never, give it a chance. As it is a very easy game to learn and is not physically
demanding. You can even get to be an skilled player very quickly, while having a
few laughs. After having your morning coffee and breakfast, join us on Saturday
and Monday mornings at 9 am for some fresh air and light exercise, or have
breakfast at the Kopper Kettle Bistro after playing. Each time we play, we choose
different teams, so you are always playing with different partners. We get to
socialize with friends and meet other residents during our morning play.
Did you know that around 1913, a small group of winter tourists in Daytona
Beach, Florida, conceived the idea of building shuffleboard courts on land?
Until that time, shuffleboard was exclusively a shipboard game and grew slowly
until the end of the 1930s. ~ Marty Rotman, mrtmj@aol.com
