The Courts and Activity Sixteen
pitching courts with clay, fully
cemented walkways and lights. (12 courts are active, while the
four oldest near the creek are inactive.) The courts once hosted
the Indiana
State
Tournament. They are the home of the Clinton County Horseshoe
Pitchers'
Association - President Sam Payne, Vice President Frank Adams and
Secretary-treasurer/web site editor Kenny Wolf. Curt Day
Horseshoe Courts are
presently
holding one NHPA/INHPA horseshoe pitching tournament each year (schedule listed below).
To
join the National Horseshoe Pitchers Association of America, see CCHPA
President
Sam Payne (NHPA member), Frank Adams (NHPA member), Roger Impson (NHPA
member) or Kenny Wolf (NHPA member) about how to join and begin
pitching in tournaments all over the state of Indiana or out of state.Weekly League Pitching
The local league pitches at 6:00 PM every Thursday night, during most
of the summer weeks. Week after week, we pitch team doubles
matches
with three 30 shoes games using COUNT ALL POINTS system and factor
in handicaps with our running averages.Current 2008 Season League Schedule We also have a
Tuesday night casual league, for whoever shows up, where we pitch 40 shoes with each pitcher
pitching his own shoes and walking back and forth to the opposite
pit. Sometimes we pitch doubles with 40 shoes handicaps, other
times we pitch singles. Come out and pitch beside us, talk to us about
pitching with us in the league, or just come out and watch us
pitch. There is someone pitching on
the Curt Day Horseshoe Courts nearly every day or night of the week
during
the summertime.Thursday, April 10, 2008 - court clean-up evening Thursday, April 17, 2008, 6:00 PM Meeting at courts, choose teams, pitch for fun, etc. Thursday, April 24, 2008, 6:00 PM- 1st League Night Thursday, August 7, 2008, 6:00 PM - 16th & final League Night Thursday, August 14, 2008, 6:00 PM - team tournament |
