FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | AUGUST 2021 65 We are moving right along into the summer, along with exceptionally hot weather. This year makes us appreciate that 8 am starting time. It also makes our members appreciate the "Thank You, God" tree that shades the south end of our venue and our main meeting area before we start. Our first two tournaments are scheduled in July and have not happened yet as I write this article. However, we should have pictures of the winners and participants in the September issue of the Breeze. This has been a great year after the lengthy shutdown. Getting back into our many activities here is just great and I love them all. All I can do is ask you to join us and you won't believe the fun you will experience just being a part of something that not a lot of folks our age get to enjoy. Age, handicap, no experience, doesn't matter. Just add a little fun activity into your life. We'll take care of whatever it is in order for you to enjoy yourself and the experience. We play Wednesdays at 8 am at The Summit. You won't believe the view! Our contacts are Ron Erickson at (951) 846-3288, rejlerickson@sbcglobal.net or Gary Christie at (951) 845-0520, goldtoy@earthlink.net. ~ Ron Erickson Horseshoe Club Ohmygosh! It has been so much fun getting back together again after a year and a half! We were even able to remember each other's names too! Yay! We're excited to welcome a couple of new members: Pete and Debbie Levario and Ron Riffel — welcome to all! After a couple of weeks of our usual play times, on July 6 we had our traditional July Fourth tournament. In the past, winners of the July Fourth tournament would be announced at the all-community picnic and awards ceremony. However, because we recently reopened The Lodge and we are not quite on track for pre-COVID events, we had our own July Fourth tournament on July 6. The players signed up to play in three categories: the Reds (experienced), the Whites (intermediate) and the Blues (still learning). Just so you know, we had no one sign up in the Blue category. The winners, you ask? After a brutal competitive line-up and intensely skilled games, Bob Rector won first place and Paul Snyder came in second for the Reds. The Whites were pretty much the same. It was intense competition amid lots of encouragement and laughter too. The winners were Verina Rector, first place, and Richard Dipoma, second place. See photos below. What has never happened before in the history of BFFG, however, is that a married couple won First Place in both color categories! Go, Mr. and Mrs. Rector! If any of you are looking to join a really fun group of pool-players, come check us out! We meet every Tuesday from 11 am to 1 pm or 1 to 3 pm. (We have two two-hour sessions.) We'd love to have you join this great group of really nice people! ~ Eileen Antoine, (951) 922-6829, egcellent@msn.com Billiards for Fun Wild Bunch Billiards We are completely open and excited that we are back "live" in the Billiards Room.
