In the last year two additional web
sites have been activated for the two newest FSHPA clubs.
One is the “On Top
of the World” club in
Anyone wishing to
visit either of the new web sites may do so by going to the State web site or
another
club web site and using the club map. Just click on the circle representing the
club of interest.
The specific URLs
for the two sites are:
On Top of the World - www.geocities.com/towhc
Dell Webb – www.geocities.com/dwschc
The State Championship web site has served its
purpose for another year and will be deactivated
by the time this newsletter is published. Next year you can look forward to an entirely
new look to the
championship web site.
Not only will it have all the information available in previous years,
but there will be
a contest in which you can win prizes by
predicting the winners of the 2010 championships.
Over the past couple of years
participation in the New Member Lottery has continued to
diminish, reaching a low this year. Because of this lack of interest the New
Member Lottery has been
discontinued.
The winners this
year were:
1sl Place - Charles Polski for his sponsorship of Edward Polski
A special web site has been created
to display the pitching styles of
pitchers. Techniques
vary considerably and it is interesting to see where they release shoes, how
they
stand, how they step, if they foul, etc. You can access these videos from the State
web site, from the
Brevard
web site and at http://horseshoes.hostrator.com.index.html.
Special videos show Verdell
Woollard and Ron Deckard demonstrating
their winning techniques.
In an unfortunate turn of events,
two discs containing many of the individual photos I took of
FSHPA members
at the State Championships have been lost.
It means those member photos will not be
available for reference. The loss
has made it difficult to identify the photos taken of winners, as names were
recorded only for the individual shots and not for each and every winner’s
photo. So expect some delay in
receiving your photo.
