The Tavares Shuffleboard Club hosted the ND14 Pro Only Draw/Amateur Only Draw on Jan 4, 2024. Rod Lewis was the Director and Edward Jones and All American Washer Werks were the sponsors. It was very windy and cold but happy players.  We had a few new Amateur players too. The tournament was the largest this season.  It was a very cold start in the 40’s but the sun came out to cheers from the players. This is the first time that I can remember when the amateurs outnumbered the pros 36 to 32. George Snyder earned his 200th point to ensure his position in the Northern District Hall of Fame next year. Congratulations George.

I just wanted to remind everyone that ND01 Any Doubles to be played in Deland was postponed until Jan 18th and 19th (Thur/Fri). between ND 16 (which is MTW) and ND 17 (which is also a MTW). It does not show up on the schedule. Hope to see you there.
