Key Royale tees off, other sports go silent for Idalia

Hurricane Idalia’s jaunt up Florida’s west coast limited golf action at the Key Royale Club in Holmes Beach to the men’s modified-Stableford match Aug. 28.

Ken Nagengast grabbed first-place for the day after carding a plus-4, two points better than second-place finishers Don Grau, Art McMillan, Tom Nelson and Kurt Snouffer, who all finished at plus-2.

Thanks to Idalia, there were no sports from the Center of Anna Maria Island and no report from the Anna Maria City Hall horseshoe pits.

But, according to the weather reports, no rain is forecast.

So play on.

The Center of Anna Maria Island is hosting a fall soccer league, with adult play to begin Sept. 7, and youth soccer, which is set to kick off Sept. 5, after The Islander went to press.

Meanwhile, the center extended a deadline to register for the fall basketball league due to the nonprofit’s closure for the evacuation and cleanup after Idalia.

The adult registration deadline was extended from Friday, Sept. 1, to Saturday, Sept. 9.

Adult play will be Sept. 25-Nov. 20 on Mondays, with a draft and pickup games set for 6:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 11.

Kids should register for their basketball season by Friday, Sept. 8.

Youth play — ages 5-14 — will be Sept. 30-Nov. 18 on Saturdays.

Evaluations will be Wednesday, Sept. 13.

For more information, including costs and fees, call the center at 941-778-1908 or email info@centerami.org.
