FROM YOUR PRESIDENT... DAVE LOUCKS 

In six short months, many of us will gather for the 1988 World Tournament in Pleasanton. 

This is the first time in some 15 years that the event will be held in the West. In a roofed arena 

with some 36-40 courts, both pitcher and spectator alike will be protected from the sun. Day 

time temperatures average 85-90 degrees with little humidity and no rain, a very comfortable 

pitching environment. On the fairgrounds, there is also a 9 hole golf course, a miniature golf 

range, 12 practice courts, children's play area, plenty of grass, trees and areas to just sit and 

relax or visit. With many exciting tours planned, the Northern California HPA is going all out to 

make your visit to the San Francisco Bay Area, a memorable one. 

The NHPA realizes that your vacation time is precious and some advance information on 

pitching schedules would be helpful when making your plans. We cannot give you an exact or 

guaranteed pitching time so early before the event, particularly since the actual number of 

entrants in each division have to be matched to the time and courts available. However, the 

following schedule, give or take a day, is our best estimate of when groups will play. 

Mon. 8/1—Men's Classes I and below begin. 

Tue. 8/2—Men's Classes D thru H begin. 

Thu. 8/4—Men's Class Finals, D and below. Women's lower Classes begin. 

Fri. 8/5—Championship Men Prelim sections begin. 

Sat. 8/6—Women's Class B and below Finals, Some Intermediate and/or Senior plan to 

begin. 

Sun. 8/7—Championship Women Prelim sections begin. BANQUET TONIGHT 

Mon. 8/8—CONVENTION DAY. Men's Class A, B, C, Finals tonight 

Tue. 8/9—Intermediate and Senior Men; Juniors and/or Elders play. Championship Men 

may begin. 

Wed. 8/10 thru 8/13—Championship rounds for Men, Women, Juniors, Intermediates, 

Seniors and Elders will be scheduled. 

NOTE: The above is only an estimate. Actual pitching times.will be determined and 

published in the tournament schedule. If in doubt, arrive early. 

For the Pleasanton World Tournament, we will hae the same divisons as last year except 

that we are added a new group for the women, subject to areasonable amount of entrants, 

this will be a single group for any women age 60 or over. Last year we tried to have 

Intermediate, Seniors and Elders for the women but didn't get sufficient registration in any of 

the three groups. We hope this year to get enough in one group to start play and build toward 

separation in the future. Some other changes are: 

1. All men's Open Classes, A & below, will be seeded by percentage, 36 to a class, 3 

groups of 12 each. Women may also follow this format. 

2. Each section of 12 will play 11 games over two days. The 3 section winners based on

4 The Horseshoe Pitcher's News Digest/February, 1988 

MESSAGE—(Continued) 

W-L records plus the next 7 best percentages out of the combined 3 sections will 

advance to form a 10 person Class Final. 

3. All games in all classes other than Championships, shall be 40 shoes. 

4. All determination for move-ups will be based upon percentage pitched in prelim play. 

5. Those pitching well enough to move up to championship groups will do so without 

playing in their class finals. 

6. Intermediates, Seniors and Elders will be seeded into classes of 24 or 18 depending 

upon entrants and percentage spread. 

7. Championship Men will be 32 pitchers, championship Women will be 16. Intermediate 

and Senior Championships will be 12 pitchers. Elders and Women 60+ will be 6 in 

Championship group. Juniors subject to entrants. 

8. Percentage to break ties in all prelim play and finals. Ties for 1st based on W-L record 

will be played off in class or Championship finals only. 

9. The tournament Committee/Directors reserve the right to make adjustments, pro-rate 

published prize lists if entrants are not sufficient for full groups, or otherwise deviate 

from the expected circumstance. 

10. All entrants should expect to have their pitching shoes checked for weight, width and a 

maximum used shoe opening of 3% inches. This used shoe opening tolerance has just 

been established by the NHPA Council. 

11. Entrants and their Charters must be current with their NHPA Liability Insurance payment. 

Based on an estimate of 1100 entries, total prize money will exceed $65,000. The breakdown 

for the Class and Championship Finals are as follows: 

INSURANCE UPDATE

Indiana, Massachusetts, New Mexico North, New Mexico South and Southern Utah. These 

six charters all paid their full assessment in December, days before the policy became 

effective. The leadership shown by these state officers indicates pride in the NHPA and the 

program we have undertaken for the membership. Other charters are expected to follow this 

example shortly. Remember, your State Charter must be current to have your tournament and 

league play sanctioned and allow you to pitch in Regionals, State or World Championships.

NHPA PUBLICITY 

By BOB CHAMPION 

In an effort to prepare a Mareting and Media Kit for use in obtaining more news coverage 

and National sponsorship for horseshoe pitching, the publicity committee will soon contact 

every state and club president in the United States and Canada. An informational sheet will 

be sent to them, which will include many items of interest. 

We will be making an extended search for information relative to number of sanctioned 

pitchers in the NHPA, where they come from, their occupations, the number of clubs, special 

and weekend tournaments, and other figures to furnish the NHPA with valuable data. The age 

group is also important, plus many other facts not presently available to NHPA. 

The Publicity Committee will appreciate all the efforts from State and Club presidents in an 

effort to compile this data before proceeding with the results through the proper channels. In 

addition all state and Club presidents will be urged to appoint publicity chairmen for their 

organizations. 

We realize this will be a monumental task, but with the cooperation of all those concerned, 

the results will be conclusive and helpful in obtaining sponsorship, news and TV coverage 

through that active sponsor. 

If you have any suggestions concerning this effort please contact me. My address is 5505 

Valmont #176, Boulder, Colorado 80301. My home phone number is #03-449-8395, after 

2 p.m.

WALTER RAY WILLIAMS, JR. 

W. R. Williams, Jr., the 1986 Professional Bowlers Association Player of the Year, took part 

in a clinic Dec. 10 for Palm Beach County, Florida fans as part of the Miller Lite Classic 

Promotional Tour. 

His luggage including his bowling equipment, however, was lost somewhere in travel. 

He rolled a 278 game at Greenacres Bowl in the afternoon beginning with nine consecutive 

strikes. Then, a few hours later he bowled a 279 at Fair Lanes Palm Springs with ten in a row. 

He bowled a third game of 236 for a three game total of 793. 

The clinics included a lecture from Nelson Burton, Jr. 

Williams who made $143,629 in 1987 after earning $145,550 in 1986, hopes his success 

continues.

RINGERS HIT THE PEG 

By DONNIE ROBERTS 

A horseshoe won't be a ringer unless it hits the peg. (Smile) Having made that profound 

observation, I will discuss some possible ideas that may help you hit the peg. 

When you stand on the platform getting ready to pitch, it is a good idea to face squarely 

toward the peg at the other end. Odds are this will be wise. Face squarely your target. 

Most everyone brings the shoe up in front of them before they pitch it. It is a good idea to 

bring the shoe forward in line with the peg you are pitching toward. Bring the shoe down in lin 

with your target peg and as you pitch bring your arm up the target peg. With all three of these 

arm motions lined up with your target peg, you should be in line. 

When you take your step, step toward your target peg. There is no logic to stepping toward 

court 3 if you are pitching on court 1. 

Having a good follow-through should improve your alignment. Other errors in your delivery 

may well be corrected by a good follow-through. 

You aren't likely to hit the peg if you fail to look at it. During your delivery you should look at 

spot on your target peg. Never take your eye off the target until you have let go of the shoe. I 

suggest a target 4 to 6 inches up on the peg. 

These are easy ways to improve your ability to hit the peg. The thing that will help you hit it 

most often is a lot of practice. 

One thing to be aware of is that many of you think that you have missed the peg on many 

shoes that in fact were just not open. 

BOB TOLBERT WINS AGAIN 

By GLEN PORTT 

No, he didn't win a horseshoe tournament, but he did win something better. For the past 5 

years Bob had worked with city and county officials to put in horseshoe courts. Each year, it 

seemed, he always received the same answer—Manana. 

But "tomorrow" wasn't good enough for Bob. He enlisted the aid of Ted Waters, his State 

Representative, to include 10 courts in a $10,000 grant from the department of Natural 

Resources. 

Today, Bob Tolbert has his courts, not 10—only 5, in the Jesse Tanner Memorial Recreation 

Park—a county sports complex near Warner Robbins, Georgia—in honor of a deputy 

sheriff killed in line of duty. Why only 5 courts? When the money was received, the board in 

charge decided to use part of the funds for a soccer field. But, as Bob says, 5 courts are a 

start. 

To celebrate the opening, Bob lined up 60 doubles teams with practically every dignitary in 

the area pitching. I attended the event. The first thing I noticed was there wer no backboards 

or protective fencing. I asked Bob why. He said he followed the NHPA Horseshoe Court 

Layout as prescribed—even to the raised foul line. Backboards and fences were not mentioned. 

I cite this to show how important it is that the NHPA re-publish their guidelines, 

eliminating the raised foul lines, and showing backboards and fences in its recommended 

Horseshoe Court Layout—as approved by the 1987 W.T. delegates. New courts are being 

built throughout the U.S. As Bob Tolbert said, "I wish I had known it. We had the money. Now, 

don't know when it will be done." Regardless, Bob has 5 courts. He won.

F. GUENTHER OF NEB. MOVES TO BASEMENT FOR WINTER 

It is cold in Nebraska in the Winter, but the Ferd Guenther family just moves into the 

basement to enjoy "year round pitching." Ferd, wife Joan and son Mike take that short trip 

fromtheir outdoor court to the beautiful setting under an 11 foot, eight inch ceiling, specially 

decorated by pictures by the lady of the house. 

Most pitchers enjoy the sport during the summer months, some are lucky to live in the 

south, and some have access to indoor facilities around the United States. ... But one can't 

beat the short trip down the stairs to the basement of the Guenther's new home in Columbus, 

Nebraska. 

Ferd loves horseshoes and when he built a new home in 1984, the basement horseshoe 

court was part of the plan. After all, it takes nearly a 12-foot ceiling to comfortably play in one's 

home. 

"It's kind of a hobby with me," Ferd says, "and I spend time trying to improve the layout." He 

is using Indiana clay, spices it up with a little transmission fluid to improve the texture and adds 

a little water to keep it in tip-top shape. When not in use it is covered with a rubber mat. Fans 

are located in the ceiling to move the air during the hot summer months. 

Construction of the courts wree not fully completed until May of 1985. Joan and Mike had to 

pass a pitching test in the outdoor court before coming inside. "We had to protect the ceiling a 

all costs." 

Ferd became serious about horseshoes nearly six years ago. He finished second in his 

class in the Nebraska State Tournament in 1981 with a 25 ringer percentage. Year round 

pitching has increased his percentage to yearly 50. Year round pitching will do this for you, 

and Ferd Guenther now is on his way to better things in horseshoe pitching. 

It's a cinch he has the facility to accomplish this.

REGIONAL DIRECTOR REPORT 

By GENE VAN SANT 

First let me say that my health improves every day and soon I will be out on the horseshoe 

circuit again. Also a very wonderful thing happened to me at the Annual Southern California 

Horseshoe Pitchers Association meeting, I was inducted into their Hall of Fame. This is one of 

the nicest things that has happened to me in a long time. 

Jim Shilling, Regional Director of Indiana reports to me that they have poured concrete for 

new courts at Woodburn, Indiana, and in the spring he will be helping them start a club and 

league. Sanction leagues are on a roll in Indiana. Four clubs are now sanctioned in Indiana 

and it all started with the Classic City Horseshoe Club two years ago. Miller's Horseshoe 

Retreat at Leo, Indiana is installing four more courts to add to the four they already have. The 

Fort Wayne Park Board is considering the construction of courts at a local park. Jim along with 

others are working on this at the present time. The Indiana State Fair Tournament welcomed 

over 160 pitchers this year. 

Jack Adams, Regional Director of Canada reports another successful year. A record 

breaking 360 entries participated in the Canadian Championships held at St. Hyacinthe, 

Quebec. Five charter members were inducted into the Canadian Hall of Fame. They were 

Elmer Hoi, Dean McLaughlin, Walter Kane, Jack Adams, and Jean Markle. One Highlight of 

our season was the outstanding performance of the two lady record breaking champions, 

Sandi McLachlin, winning the World Ladies title with 88.2% and Diane Cantin placing second 

with 88.1%.

A TRIBUTE TO MR. SECRETARY-TREASURER JIM WEEKS 

By WALLY SHIPLEY 

Jim was born January 6, 1917 in Los Angeles, California. He has been married to lovely 

Emily of Plainfield, New Jersey, since 1938. (They will celebrate their 50th Wedding Anniversary 

January 8, 1988.) 

Due to poor health Jim has decided to retire as Secretary/Treasurer for Southern California 

Horseshoe Pitchers Association after 32 years of devoted and dedicated service to the Sport 

of Horseshoes. 

Every organization must have men and women willing to sacrifice their time, energy and 

talents to make it a going concern. Southern California has been extremely fortunate in this 

respect. 

Jim has carried on the efforts as Sec/Treas for SCHPA at great personal sacrifice. He 

attended all the tournaments of the busiest schedule of all state Horseshoe Organizations. 

(I estimate this to be approximately 2000 tournaments.) He conducted the most efficiently run 

tournaments the game has known. 

Emily accompanied him 99% of the time and was a great help to Jim with the book work and 

all the other players and their wives. 

Twenty (20) years ago Jim compiled a record that will give you the average for any given 

number of shoes and ringers up to 1000 shoes. His brain worked like a computer in giving the 

up to the minute average for any given player. 

I have known Jim and Emily since 1957 when I joined the NHPA. During these 30 years I 

worked with these two people very closely. For I was SCHPA President for 7 years and NHPA 

President 10 years. So I feel I am qualified to speak about Jim's devotion to Horseshoes. 

During my NHPA administration I selected Jim to the NHPA Hall of Fame Committee. A 

position he still holds. I had the honor of inducting him into the NHPA Hall of Fame in 1982 in 

Huntsville, Alabama. He was also inducted into the SCHPA Hall of Fame, which he started in 

1970. 

In 1959 Jim captured the California State Championship. He dominated the local scene for 

many years. During my early years of pitching Jim was the hardest one for me to beat in the 

SCHPA class A group. 

In 1970 in the World Tournament Brochure I named and wrote articles about "Four (4) 

MISTERS" in the SCHPA. Mr. Horseshoes, Elmer Beller; Mr. Court Keeper, Gunnar Hansen; 

Mr. Champion, Fernando Isais; and Mr. Secretary/Treasurer, JIM WEEKS. 

Southern California pitchers proclaim Jim as the greatest thing that ever happened to the 

game in California. We love you Jim and Emily and hope you will continue to come to the 

tournaments to watch and visit. 

We of the SCHPA and the NHPA thank you Mr. Secretary/Treasurer of S.C. for your many 

long hours and years of devotion, dedication and hard work. 

Now, Jim, I am once again honored to present to you an award. The NHPA Presidential 

Award, which reads: 

Jim Weeks for 32 years of Outstanding Service to the Sport of Horseshoes as 

Secretary/Treasurer of SCHPA—1987 NHPA Presidential Award. 

SCHPA also gave Jim a beautiful "Large Clock Plaque." It was presented to Emily by 

SCHPA President Jim Eozzo. 

On behalf of Jim and Emily, thank you, NHPA and SCHPA, for the awards. Jim wrote me a 

note and said "Thanks for everything. This has made all I tried to do look pretty good." 

On the other side of the coin here is Jim's pitching stats: Started pitching in 1928. He 

averaged 62.9% in his first tournament. Competed in 72 Doubles and 272 Tournaments. Life


TRIBUTE—(Continued) 

time shoes pitched 115,402 and 78,989 Ringers with a 68.4% average. He played in the 

California State Class A 14 times pitching 12,870 shoes, 8844 ringers averaging 68.7%. 

Finished 10th place in the 1959 World Tournament and captured the State title in 1959. 

Anyone wishing to write or call Jim and Emily here is their address and telephone number—

PIZZA HUT FALL FESTIVAL OPENS AT DALLAS, GA. 

WON BY FULLER OF N.C.—SANC. 28-87-014 

The Georgia pitching season closed with the biggest open tournament of the year. In 

addition, the weather was some of the finest for pitching with clear skies and 75°. 

Mr. Conway Tucker, Southeast Regional Supervisor, of Pizza Hut sponsored the first 

annual Pizza Hut Fall Festival. This tournament provided some of the best pitching seen in 

Georgia and attracted 18 pitchers from 4 of the 5 neighboring states. 

The Fall Festival closed the Georgia season until the spring when pitching will begin again 

in March. 

During the winter months our neighbors to the South, Florida, always provide welcome 

places to keep us in condition. Their courts are always open. 

CHAMPIONSHIP CLASS—J. B. Fuller, Ashville, NC, 5-0-62.4; Larry Morton, Columbus,

GEORGIA HORSESHOE PITCHER OF THE YEAR 

By Al Sandham—Regional Director 

Georgia is a big state with few pitchers, there were only 76 NHPA registered adults in 1987. 

In 1987, the local Georgia associations hosted 13 sanctioned tournaments throughout the 

pitching season which lasts from March to November. These tournaments wre held at 5 

different locations around the state. 

It's a long way between corners of the state (Albany to Toccoa 253 miles, and Dalton to 

Brunswick 362 miles) and in order to encourage maximum participation in these tournaments 

the State Constitution provides for an award of "Georgia Horseshoe Pitcher of the Year." This 

award is earned by attendance at sanctioned tournaments with a point system of 10 points for 

a win in each class, 9 for second, to 5 points for a sixth place, etc. A running total for all 

pitchers is kept by the State Publicity Director and to add incentive this annual award is 

accompanied by cash and a trophy which is allcoated 3% of our state championship prize 

fund. Championship prize funds in 1986 and 1987 were $2800 and $3300 respectively. 

This year is proof that persistance pays off. Iris Sandham of Lilburn, GA, was winner with a 

total score of 95 points and 3 class championship wins. Runner up was Tommy Lawson (state 

president) from Acworth, GA, with 83 points and 2 class championship wins. 

Both Iris and Tommy pitched 12 of the 13 sanctioned tournaments that were considered 

open for this competition. 

The executives in Georgia feel that this award provides the incentive to get out and attend 

all those distant tournaments and not just stay in your own back yard.
