Due to circumstances beyond our con-trol, it is necessary to make some major

changes with the WHNL. We have been

very fortunate to have printed in color the past several years—thanks to the Beloit

Club. This is no longer possible. We will be sending future issues in black and white.

Color will be available on line so if you pre-fer your issues in color, you will need to go

to http://whpahorseshoes.com This is our

official web page and is an excellent source of Wisconsin horseshoe activity.

Another excellent contact is to become a member of the WHPA BULLETIN

(YAHOO! News Group)

WHNL Changes / Horseshoe Family

Our horseshoe family is a very caring

group of people. Prayers, cards, emails, phone calls all make a person suffering

smile. We have received word that several of our family are facing major medical chal-

lenges. Kevin Brekke has kept me updated on John Garvan’s health. John has been in

the hospital because of dizziness, blurred

vision and weakness. He is currently in Beloit Rehab Center, 1905 W Hart Rd,

Room 117, Beloit, WI, 53511. Laurie Dolezel had informed me that

their EC member Stub Hazen has had his

cancer return. It is an aggressive cancer be-ing fought with an equally aggressive chemo

treatment. He and his wife, Joyce, appreci-ate hearing from their horseshoe friends as

“they are my friends, they love me.” Cards

can be sent to Joyce and Stub Hazen,

W1085Cty HH, Eau Claire, WI 54701.

Mark Stevens has also had his cancer return. I am waiting to hear from friends or

family more details. For now cards can be sent to 39860 Pelto Rd, Marengo, WI,

54855. Dave Hughes is recovering from sur-

gery from an infection on his pitching hand.

I know there are others out there fac-ing different life challenges. Do not be afraid

to lean on your horseshoe family! The horseshoe season is just around

the corner—if the snow ever melts– so we

will be able to see the smiles and feel the

hugs of very special people.

Once again to make the award acces-

sible to more pitchers the Divisions have been altered. Division A will be determined

by year end averages of 45% or better; Di-vision B – averages between 30% - 44.99%;

Division C, less than 30%. Leaders in these

divisions after 12 events have been entered,

in alphabetical order: Division A- Rom But-

ton, Gunnar David, Ken Heinritz, John Molling, Randy Rein. Division B - Cliff Erick-

son, Jim Haupt, John Olson, Kevin Peter-son, Jerremy Wegner. Division C – Russ

WOW! What a long winter, BUT

the outdoor pitching season is about to

commence. Your executive Board met

in March and some exciting decisions

were made with regard to our Newslet-

ter. All the details are spelled out in an-

other article in this issue.

As you are choosing tournaments

that you will be pitching in this summer,

please keep in mind the World Tourna-

ment in St. George, UT, July 22 to Aug

3rd. I will have packets available with all

the info you will need to know to have

a GREAT WT experience. Rooms are

as low as $79 per night and there are

lots of campsites available. Also, on the

Do you ever thank the tournament

director for running the show? How

important is a tournament director?

Maybe a better way to ask that question

is ‘How much do you enjoy pitching

horseshoes’. No tournament director

means no tournament! Running an

event is much like taking on the role of

a servant. Willingly offering your ser-

vices for the good of the pitchers is

something to be praised. Listen to some

of the directors responsibilities: Adver-

tise or list it, apply for patches from re-

gional director, assemble

names from phone messages/e

-mails/letters, consult Natstats

for current averages, make

schedule (trying to accommo-

date days & times of the pitch-

ers), mail schedules, arrive at

tournament site early, organize

an excellent opportunity to work with

State officers and to add your expertise

to growing the sport we all love. If in-

John Secord & goes to Natstats, publish

time. He/she needs to be prepared to

settle disputes & be knowledgeable of

the NHPA rule book. It’s optional to

have scorekeepers or concession

tournament director is a critical ingredi-

every time they run an

The thermometer read 0 degrees and the

sun was shining. A beautiful day for pitching out-doors but Jeff Gustafson decided that it might be

better to stay out of the sun so his New Years day rumble was held indoors at Beloit for the 5th time.

Sixteen people showed up. Everyone enjoyed an-other fun tournament. Here are the results:

Allen Johnson & Dave Carpenter 196 Points

Jim Huckabee & Rondi Mengelt 185 Points Jeff Gustafson & Ed Dolan 179 Points

Bruce McLinn & Charlie Goldsmith 154 Points Kevin Brekke & Walt Houck 153 Points

Skip Ramsdell and Dan Lessman 142 Points

Herman Robisch & Russ Burns 137 Points Mouse Beckius & Georgia Beebe 113 Points

Games were to 28 Points, highest point total per game, 28. Allen & Dave did not lose a game.

They reached the highest possible point total. This

event was also a benefit for the Rock County Hu-

mane Society. Kimberly Beebe, daughter of Ken and

Georgia Beebe, is a long time employee of Rock County humane Society. Kimberly and Georgia, by

using a bag raffle, 50-50 drawing and a number of checks from individuals raised a total of $846.00

Edie McKinney Steps Down By, Edie McKinney, Jane Smith

Edie McKinney is resigning from her position as Hall of Fame Chairperson. Though she has en-

joyed her job, she feels someone more tech savvy

would be good for the organization. While she was

Chairlady she organized the material from former

HOF Chair, Susie Pritzlaff. Each member of the HOF committee has received a three ring binder with all

of the HOF nominations-compliments of Edie’s dedi-cation and professionalism.

The job description Edie shared follows: this

person is responsible to organize and distribute the new nomination forms to the committee; write up

the information of the HOF inductee for the State Tourney booklet; order two plaques- one for the

member and the other for the WI HOF wall in Beloit; acquire pictures for the plaques; lead the

HOF meeting held prior to the Spring meeting; cre-

ate ballots, announce winner at meeting.

If you are interested in this position, contact

our President Glenn Bogenschneider. This is an ap-pointed position. Keep in mind we are still looking

for Publicity and Membership leaders.

Bring A Pal By, Jim Haupt

Bring is the key word. The Beloit Club recently hosted a tournament designed to acquaint sandlot pitchers to the greater world of tournament horse-shoes. This unsanctioned event provided the oppor-tunity to introduce a friend to the benefits of the

NHPA. We often hear the plea, “If everybody could re-cruit just one new member our ranks would dou-ble.” OK that must be a dream, but here at Beloit it became an opportunity, a chance at greater mem-

bership. As it happened 25 pitchers brought 25 pals.

Bring a Pal doubles results:

Class A Class B

Linda & Stan 30.0 Glenn & Dick 28.0

Tom & Jim 27.0 John & Kathy 27.0

Leo & Bob 26.0 Russ & Karen 23.0

Class C Class D

Ken & Duane 22.0 Norm & Len 29.0

Kevin & Dave 18.0 Walt & Frank 23.0

Bob & Pam 17.0 Rondi & Rod 18.0 No Problem—No embarrassment, only to those with unique first names. The Beloit Club has no patent on the Bring a Pal format, only encouragement to any other clubs in-terested. Otherwise bring your pal next time around.

Kerry Morris is the only pitcher in this state who has an annual tournament named in his honor. The Klash with Kerry signup sheet was out at the January Deansville Rally. Who is this celebrated pitcher of Deansville? Sometimes Kerry hits the ceiling. Sometimes he doesn’t. Same deal with the stake. Kerry Morris is lately not living up to his erstwhile position as a WHPA championship class pitcher. In one way that made it easier to seed him into the top of B class. The other factor was that the Heinritz bros. expressed the desire to travel together. With just four courts, at the Deansville Barn, two traveling as one means pitch-ing the same class. Ergo: Russ Heinritz was seeded as the lowest pitcher, #8, in A along with his bro, Ken, the top, #1, seed. First game they are matched. They both pitch 21 ringers, 55%—a low game for Ken, a nice game for Russ. Darned if Ken didn’t get a few more single points Nelson’s Crossing is now a name of the past but the whole place is still there, all 4 1/2 acres, tavern, volley ball courts, and horseshoe barn to boot. The barn plays to pitchers twice a week, Tuesdays and Thursdays, and the four weekend tournaments over the winter months. Its called, “JD and Me’s Place” now with pretty much the same food and libations offered. Strikes us as a nice ‘family’ bar. The last word on Kerry Morris. If one cannot have a good time pitching with him, give it up. See you at the Klash.

A Friend We’ll Miss Dan David By, Jane Smith

Wisconsin Horseshoe Family has lost another icon. Dan David and his wife, Sylvia, were well known in the horseshoe world, first as pitchers then as cheerleaders for their grandkids. Dan is now join-ing other horseshoe pitchers in the next world. Dan was known for his everlasting, infectious smile and never ending repertoire of jokes. Dan spent his life in the Marshfield area where his family prospered. He joined the Navy and after serving during the Korean War, worked as a military recruiter. Dan ws also owner of the Dan-D Heating company in Marshfield. Dan was an avid sportsman enjoying fishing, hunting, bowling, horseshoes and dartball. He was truly a family man spending time with his kids, grandkids and great grandkids on the boat and pon-toon. Yard games were a constant in the David fami-ly. We will miss et another great man. Our sympa-thy to the David family.


The purpose of this message is to talk about qualifying events for the World Tournament.

As you know, you need 4 sanctioned events posted on your Natstats record within the past twelve

months from the WT deadline date of May 16th. These events can be either sanctioned leagues

(minimum of 400 shoes pitched), or sanctioned

tournaments (minimum 100 shoes pitched). First I want to talk about what constitutes a

sanctioned tournament. I started a forum string re-cently to see what the opinions were of those who

read the forum. There was a lively discussion that

broke out, and it seemed that the general consensus was that the minimum number of players should be

at least two. Every year there are folks who need one or

two "last minute" qualifying events to make the mini-mum requirement for the WT. We have a few re-

minders for what exactly is a legitimate "open" sanc-

tioned tournament. In the requirements of the RGS book (page 21), it clearly outlines what the duties of

a tournament director are. It is the Regional Director's main responsibil-

ity to make sure that all sanctioned tournaments are conducted within the rules and guidelines of the

NHPA. This ensures the integrity of our sanctioning

system, and guarantees that NHPA sanctioned

events are legitimate.

With all this said, there is one last thing that is needed to be said to all tournament direc-

tors. Every year we have an issue with the folks who

pitch a qualifying event close to the deadline for world. Let's say that there is a tournament in

Sometown, USA on May 11th....well within the 12

month limit for sanctioned events. If the TD does

not submit those results promptly, that player will not have the required event on their record.

World Tournament Qualifying Jerry LaBrosse, NHPA VP

be prepared by having your measuring tools and your file with you, and make sure that, if you have a

hook, it is within the NHPA specs. Other things that will be checked are your pitching shirt with your

name and state clearly written on the back of it and

the shoes on your feet, so wear those shoes (no open toes) and that shirt to check in.

Carefully read the front page of the World Tournament schedule and check your pitching times

and days. Good luck to all of you!

World Tournament Check In Advice Debby Michaud, NHPA VP

Klash with Kerry By, Jim Haupt

Rudy reports this event as most entertaining in recent time. Arriving at the D’ Barn plenty early we found no action on the courts. All pitchers on a break watching the Badgers playing round ball. The B class had two games to go. Bun Carley, eventual winner, brought along his latest wood projects, one a football, the other a bas-ket ball both hollow pieces showing a nice shiny wood grain. How does he make those things? Build-ing a schooner in a bottle would be easier. In the earlier class, already posted, we saw the bottom seed doubling his entry average. Jerry Loose wins the class going away. Another competitor, Denis Capener played today. He must be feeling OK in spite of his infirmities. Class A Galen Kozel 5 0 64.1 Steve Miller 4 1 65 John Molling 3 2 53.1 Class B Bun Carley 6 0 47.5 Michelle Plaisance 4 2 42.9 Gary Volz 3 2 42.5 Class C Julio Tijerina 4.5 .5 34 Bill Dahmen 4 2 43.6 Ed Mell 3 2 34.2 Class D Jerry Loose 6 1 21.4 Kevin Brekke 5 2 30.6 Greg Bergles 4.5 2.5 20.4 Class E Randy White 7 0 26 Jeff Humphries 5 2 25 Riki Williams 4 3 22 Watch for Steve Miller to pitch in the champi-onship class come Labor Day. Three classes Satur-day, two on Sunday. Pitchers must like the Klash.

The first thing you will do, officially, when

you are at the World Tournament is to check in and

to have your horseshoes checked. Before you leave

home, put your NHPA card in your horseshoe bag or box (laminating it is a good idea!)

Your horseshoes will be checked for weight and measurements. Along with your horseshoes,

Jim O’Loughlin lost his wife to cancer recently. He sent the following to express his appreciation of his horseshoe family: My brothers in the horseshoe world,

I can't thank you enough for your cards and phone calls. You can't imagine how wonderful that makes one feel. This life of ours is so short that one forgets that. Horseshoe is not only a game but one does develop a friendship along the way. That's the beautiful part of playing the game of horseshoe. Thank you all again for helping me get through this loss.

Jim O'Loughlin, Adams, Wisconsin

There is an excellent ten page history of the

Beloit horseshoe club on their club web page. Earl Paulson said this was written about ten years ago.

Some of the highlights of the history will be men-

tioned in this article.

Horseshoe pitching has long been a popular sport in Beloit. There was a time when there were

courts all over the city and families played horse-

shoes in their backyards. Several horseshoe enthusi-asts built regulation courts in their yards and invited

players out of town to compete with one another. In

the 1950’s courts were built in a public park. These

eventually were vandalized. In 1967, Don Goldsmith

and his father built 4 regulation clay courts and were used every Tuesday evenings and Saturday after-

noons. There was no organized league but every fall an annual doubles tournament was held.

In 1980 a new crop of pitchers joined the old-timers and the Beloit Horseshoe Club was formed.

In 1985, the league was sanctioned and remains so

today. In 1987, Bud Renley began clearing an area where nine cement courts were constructed – just a

week before their first tournament. The courts are presently known as “Renley Courts.”

In 1989 Beloit held its first State tournament. This came about with the closing of the Pitchin Pal-

ace in Sturtevant. A total of 13 courts were pre-

pared and because the Club had an excellent reputa-tion of hosting tournament also hosted the State

event in 1992, 1995, 2001 and 2005. The Beloit Club inherited an international

flavor to tournaments with the hosting of the Team

World event. Many top percentage pitchers have pitched in this event where perfect games have been

a pleasure to watch. Beloit has rented the Telfer

Park ice arena during the month of May to host the

WI State Doubles, WI Club team, Team World, and Encore tournaments. These events need more

courts so the Beloit club sets up 24 courts for the

month of horseshoe pitching. Beloit has since built six indoor courts so

year around pitching is possible. They are a very in-

novative group and do everything possible to pro-

mote the game of horseshoes. Two such events are

a couple years old and are the product of master-mind, Jimmy Paulson. He has developed and promot-

ed Bring a Pal and Bring a Junior tournaments in or-der to increase the WHPA membership. Beloit also

has a variety of league pitching year around every day of the week! Such a group of dedicated horse-

shoe people!

The Beloit Club has been recognized by the NHPA in receiving the 1997 Achievement Award at

the World Tournament in Kitchener, ONT, Canada. In 2000, World Tournament in Bismarck, ND, Red

Ferguson received the NHPA Achievement Award. Earl Paulson received the WHPA President’s Award

in 1998.

If you have not had opportunity to visit and pitch in the Beloit facility, add it to your bucket list. It will

be a memorable experience.
