Horseshoe news
Horseshoe action Aug. 3 at the Anna Maria City Hall pits was short and sweet. Jerry Disbrow teamed up with Bob Heiger to post the lone 3-0 record in pool play, giving them the day’s bragging rights.
Heiger was back in the winner’s circle Aug. 6, this time teaming up with Gary Howcroft. They rallied for a 21-20 victory in their last game to remain unbeaten and avoid a three-team playoff.
Play gets underway at 9 a.m. Wednesdays and Saturdays at the Anna Maria pits. Warmups begin at 8:45 a.m., followed by random team selection.
There is no charge to play and everyone is welcome.
