COMMENTS FROM SECOND VP 

 

     My hat is off to the Highlands County Horseshoe Club in Sebring who

provided a great environment for all the teams who entered the Club Team

Tournament.  We should always have a problem with having so many teams entered

that we have to adjust the pitching schedule to make it fit in one day.  The

point spread difference was extremely close.  And the weather was just

beautiful.  It was good to see the snowbirds that are members of the clubs along

with some of our other Florida members.  I understand how difficult it is for

some to drive long distances to pitch.

     As this goes to press, the Flagler Palm Coast Horseshoe Club is having a

groundbreaking ceremony.  This is going to make our pitchers in the northeastern

part of the state really happy.  And it should add some new members in the mix

as well.  We have some pitchers who have to travel long distances (and they have

to do it 5 times) just to qualify for the State tournament. Some are working

people and some are retired, but it still takes extra money and time away from

home to reach the cities where they can pitch.  

     Our tournament year is picking up speed as plans are being made for the

State Closed Tournament.  Our Bradenton club members are really on the ball and

making sure that all can enjoy the pitching in April.  They’ve worked really

hard at keeping the prices at affordable levels.  I hope to see a great many of

you there this year.

 

     I am still looking for volunteers to be on the By-Law and Grievance

committees.

 

  AND we are still in need of a promotional chairman.  Maybe you are the one to

be in charge of the committee or maybe you just want to be on the committee.

Maybe you just want to throw some ideas our way.  You may email me at either

dvmarteney@juno.com or dvmarteney@aol.com
