FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | JULY 2017 51 CLUB MEMBER REMINDER: Don't forget the July 8 barbecue for all team members and a guest at the home of Gary and Linda Christie. Check the bulletin board in the Lodge for details and pot luck sign up sheet. The 8-Ball Club has a faithful core group who really enjoy playing the game with each other and traveling to peer communities for competition. Our range of skill levels is from "entry level" to some pretty serious skill from those who have played much of their lives, and everything in between. We play Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 6:30 to 9 pm. We won't presume to think we are qualified to teach you how to play but any of us are willing to help you learn when you ask for help. We play by the rules of the Billiard Congress of America except we do not require you to "call" each shot, only the 8 ball. If these days are available to you and you'd like to join us, please come in or contact one of our club officers listed at the end of this report. Just boldly walk in, tell us your name and ask for a member of the 8-Ball Club. Tell us you are interested in joining us; any member will be more than glad to introduce you around and make you feel welcome. Monthly we have two in-house tournaments among club members; one is traditional 8 Ball, the other is 9 Ball (both are single player double elimination format). We had 12 players for our 8-Ball tournament this month (held on the second Wednesday). Ray Windhorn and Kenny Payne remained undefeated through four rounds where they faced each other. Kenny sent Ray into the loser's column but Ray defeated Dewey Allen to return to the finals. In double elimination format, Ray was required to beat Kenny twice and round one went to Ray. This leveled the playing field at one loss each on the day. The battle continued until Ray was victorious and became the monthly champion; congratulations Ray! Eleven club members participated in the 9 Ball In-house Tournament this month, which was held the fourth Wednesday. This time Larry Rice and Dewey Allen went undefeated for four rounds. Dewey bested Larry that game but came back from the loser's bracket to meet Dewey again. Game one of the final went to Larry but Dewey prevailed in game two to win the monthly title. Congratulations Dewey Allen!
