Euchre
Mary Ann O’Brien
Renovations at Eagle’s Nest Clubhouse, had the Euchre players running around in circles!
Finding the door locked at Eagle’s Nest, players scurried to Tuscany Clubhouse only to find no room to play. Headed back to Eagle’s Nest and discovered the ballroom door was open and thankfully tables arranged for our group to play. We had 29 avid players who would have been very disappointed if not able to play.
Recent scores are as follows:
7/10: 1st place Tom Reynolds 62; 2nd Gil Butson 57; 3rd Monika Charlesworth 56; Loners Scott Johnson 1; Low score Keith Charlesworth, Rosemary Wilsher and Tony Wilsher 38
7/17: 1st place Bill Forshaw 63; 2nd Tom Reynolds 57; 3rd Kumiko Jageman 56; Loners Bill Todd 4; Low score Ron Glynn 35
7/24: 1st place George Clark 64; 2nd Alex Potapoff 59; 3rd Bill Greenwood 57; Loners Jim Hundt 4; Low score Joe Avery 30
7/31: 1st place Scott Johnson 66; 2nd Bill Halte 60; 3rd Gil Butson 59; Loners Mary Ann O’Brien 5; Low score Gillian Greenwood 31
8/7: 1st place Muriel Milewski 59; 2nd Bob Armstrong and Dee Reynolds 55; 3rd Lou Drinovsky, Ron Glynn and Walt Ongley 54; Loners Tony Wilsher 3; Low score Kumiko Jageman 33
We have many new players who have joined us this summer. Nice to see such an interest in the game of Euchre.
Euchre is a card game which originated from the Pennsylvania Dutch (according to Siri).
We play every Thursday evening at Eagle’s Nest in the Palm Room arriving at 6:30 p.m. Bring a dollar toward prize money.
