FROM YOUR PRESIDENT... DAVE LOUCKS
Within a month, many of us will be gathered in Eau Claire for the 1987 World Tournament. A
new record for registration has been set, surpassing the previous mark of 1215 set in 1981 at
Genola, Minnesota. As I write this, 1250 pitchers have registered with one more day to count.
The Eau Claire Tournament will be indoors as was the previous record setter. Normally an
ice rink, the Hobbs Arena will house a total of 32 courts, 16 in each of two buildings with all
concessions and activities out of the sun and unaffected by changing weather conditions.
While not the first indoor World Tournament, Eau Claire may set a trend for the future. The
1988 tournament scheduled for Pleasanton, California will also be out of the sun. While not
completely indoors, the Pleasanton event will be under cover in a 200 x 200 covered arena
holding 32 courts. The NHPA is encouraging all future W.T. bidders to do their utmost to
provide covered courts.
In May, I had the opportunity to visit with John Davis, President of Sports Enterprises and
view the building that is planned to become the first Horseshoe Palladium. It is a very
impressive structure of 120,000 square feet that offers a great deal of potential for the benefit
of our sport. Any project of this magnitude takes a great deal of planning and a lot of patience.
John and his staff have given both and now, only a few hurdles remain to be cleared. A long
time dream is getting closer to becoming a reality.
Congratulations to Jim Knisley, Don Koso and Ed Domey. These 3 gentlemen and supporters of our sport will be honored as the 1987 inductees into the NHPA Hall of Fame. Their
respective categories-are; Player, Organizer and, Player/Organizer. Also selected to the Hall
of Fame in the Player/Organizer category was Joe Dubie of Georgia. Unfortunately, Joe
passed away several years ago and we have been unable to locate any immediate family.
Some Georgia members are assisting us but, if anyone out there may have some information,
please contact Donnie Roberts or Hall of Fame Chairman, Barry Chapelle.
THOUSAND TRAILS HORSESHOES
By DONNIE ROBERTS
Thousand Trails has Preserves all over the United States. 94,000 families are members of
Thousand Trails. Each Preserve has horseshoe courts. Last year horseshoe competition was
held at each Preserve. Again in 1987, competition will be held at each Preserve.
A few months ago George Lanegraff, TT National Recreation Director, contacted me by
phone to ask for assistance with the 1987 events. I asked for and was granted permission by
Dave Loucks to coordinate the NHPA effort to assist Thousand Trails.
I attended a meeting with George, who flew in from Washington state, at the Wilmington,
Ohio Preserve on May 16. We had four hours of meetings and demonstrations. We laid the
4
The Horseshoe Pitcher's News Digest/July, 1987
MESSAGE—(Continued)
groundwork for a very successful TT Horseshoe Program nationwide on August 15 & 16,
1987.
In order to accomplish this task of staging a horseshoe event at every Preserve nationwide
on the same date, I will need your help. I need a horseshoe club or some of its members to
adopt the Preserve in your area. You will then go meet with the Thousand Trails staff and
plans will be made for the event. I will contact the pitchers in the area of each Preserve by mail
and/or phone.
This is a lovely opportunity to expose our sport and our association to 94,000 families. With
your help, I am confident we can accomplish this task.
If you are near a TT Preserve, and want to call me to volunteer to adopt a Preserve, that
would be great. We must work hard together on this one.
NHPA CALENDAR
by DONNIE ROBERTS
A couple of months ago, Dave Loucks gave me permission to work on an NHPA Calendar
for 1988. A complete ad on the product was published in the May issue of the NHPA News
Digest. We deliberately kept the cost down because we felt the promotion was more important
than a big profit to the NHPA.
Orders have started coming in. These calendars make great gifts and would be nice prizes
for leagues or tournaments. At least every horseshoe pitcher should have one on his wall.
Check the ad in this issue to order.
In this calendar, we will have many horseshoe pictures. In addition to the pictures we will list
horseshoe events in 1988. So, I need your help. I need a complete list of all your 1988
tournaments or other events. We plan to list every known horseshoe event in 1988 on the
pages of this calendar. Also, if you have a photo that might be used, send it in.
This information must be mailed to me by July 1, 1987. If you want your 1988 events listed
in the 1988 NHPA Calendar, the responsibility is yours to get the list to me very soon.
NEWS AND NOTES FROM SPORTS ENTERPRISES
May has been a very busy month. A detail month of all the many projects we're working on
in an effort to finalize our purchasing of the property, zoning modifications, our clay project,
noise improvements in the stake covers, etc.
All of us at Sports Enterprises, Inc. were very pleased to have our N.H.P.A. president, Dave
Loucks, visit us for a few days to get first hand knowledge of what we are really doing. We
certainly appreciated his opinions and comments on the future of our sport.
Also our good friends, Mr. & Mrs. Ellis Cobb, dropped by for a nice visit. We're sure they
have a much better understanding of Sports Enterprises, Inc. now.
Another friend, Mr. & Mrs. Ferd Guenther of Nebraska, dropped in and really surprised us. It
is very nice when horseshoe pitchers from all over the country drop by and have a bit with us
and see what a beautiful part of the country we are located in.
Everything is going well, but never seems to be going fast enough. Any of you who would
like to visit and get involved in the project please do so. You will not be disappointed.

IF YOUR NAME IS MARK OR WALTER RAY OR CARL
OR KEVIN OR JIM, DON'T READ THIS . . .
The people above aren't human but you and I are. And we need help. Every once in a while
on of the people above will give us a little tip like CONCENTRATE, LET ALL THE AIR OUT OF
YOUR LUNGS FIRST, STEP THIS WAY, STEP THAT WAY, RELAX! By the time we have run
all this through our minds it's a wonder we can throw the shoe at all. Now listen up all you 20,
30, 40, 50, and even 60 percent pitchers, here's a method (not a tip) that I sincerely believe
will give you almost immediate improvement and you'll start to see your percentage rise.
Get yourself a study of score sheets, the same kind they record your score on at tournaments. Take this pad out to your courts, right by yourself with no one to distract you. Throw
about 30 shoes to loosen up and then start marking your score. Put down the usual X for the
ringers but quit using the dash for the missed shoe. Instead, use the following code: S for
short, R for right, L for left, O for over, N for not open. Sometimes a missed show may be a
combination of two faults, record them both if you wish. Do this for a full one hundred shoes.
Now get yourself a cool lemonade or something, sit down and total up each X, S, R, L, O, and
N. STUDY it and find your WORST fault. Now put down that lemonade and let's get back to
work. Flip to a fresh scoresheet, throw about 10 or 12 shoes to loosen up and start another
hundred shoes. The only difference is, we are going to work on our worst fault. If it was short
shoes for instance, we are going to determine ourselves that we will not throw any short this
time. After you've finished, tally up your marks again and see the difference.
Date your scoresheets and keep them as your reference. Do this twice a week, more if you
wish, but always work, and I mean WORK, on your most current fault that comes up more
frequently. I feel sure that you're going to start seeing more and more Xs.
Don't you think so, Mark, Jim, Walter Ray, Carl, and Kevin?

THOSE NHPA WOMEN . . .
by GLEN PORTT
The fight for the Women's 1987 World Horseshoe Championship should give spectators
the best pitching ever. . . even better than the '85 event. . . when the top six averaged 80.9%.
Why? Because the contestants will have no rain, dust, heat, ro wind with which to contend.
Under these ideal conditions, new records could be established. Will Phyllis Negaard's world
record 84.1% for an 11 game event fall? If so, who has the best chance to topple it?
Looking at the stats for the past three years, two women at the top of my list are Debbie
Michaud . . . and Phyllis Negaard herself. Debbie, who won the world title in '77 with a flip
shoe, astounded the horseshoe pitching world by changing to a 1 V* turn after the '84 event
. . . and winning the 1985 title with 82.8%. In '86, she came back with a near record 83.1,
placing second.
The Horseshoe Pitcher's News Digest/July, 1987
NHPA WOMEN — Continued
Who will win the World title? With the amazing number of women who can thro 80% or
better in any one game . . . and knock off their opponent... the championship is up for grabs.
Although Negaard and Michaud would have to be the favorites based upon past stats, not one
of the following can be counted o u t . . . 10 times world champion Vickie Winston . . . 5 times
world champion Ruth Hangen, who proved she still has what it takes with a 79.9% in the '85
event . . . '84 world champion Tari Powell . . . Debbie Pickeing and Fran Carnahan.
How about Sharon Paddock, the ace from the West? Yest, definitely. The '86 event was
Sharon's first taste of world competition. This was her seasoning. With a very credible 4th
place finish and a 76.6% ringer average, she could do even better in the '87 shoot out.
No, I'm not forgetting Quebecoise Diane Cantin. Diane pitched in the '85 event. . . her first
W.T. competition . . . finished second and walked away with the second highest tournament
average ever. . . 83.3%. Could she win it? Yes . . . just as any of the others can. The '87 even
should be a real dog fight. Whoops! I really meant to s a y . . . a real ladies fight. . . and may the
best one win.
WORLD TOURNAMENT JUDGING INFORMATION
by LORI OBERBILLIG
"It's a Ringer!" Don't we wish that the judge's would always agree with that decision. If they
did, there would be no need for judges. But this is not the case, we do need additional judges
as Eau Claire and the N.H.P.A., expects the World Tournament to be the largest ever.
The judges will be given the Tournament Rules of Play and Judges Guideline to review.
Also judges shirts will be furnished compliments of the N.H.P.A. A white tee or undershirt must
be worn underneath shirt. You are also required to wear BLACK or WHITE slacks or shorts.
NO short shorts or other colors, please.
If you are interested in participating in this program, information will be sent to you by
contracting—Lori Oberbillig, Judge Chairperson, Box 69, Chawick, IL 61014.

It is with humility that I express my sincere thanks to all the wonderful pitchers and friends from all over the United States and
Canada, for the many nice cards and messages that I received on

YOUR ASSISTANCE PLEASE
By DONNIE ROBERTS
We have an NHPA member in Michigan who must switch from his right hand to his left to pitch
horseshoe. This was caused by a severe injury to the rotator cup in his right arm. If one of you has made a
similar switch or if you have any expert advice for him, please drop a note to: Dick Steho, 1134 Brookshire
Dr., Lapeer, Michigan 48446. Your efforts will be appreciated.

HIX, SPRINGER, AND NORTH CAROLINA
By DONNIE ROBERTS
(See cover picture)
The 1987 North Carolina Dogwood Festival Horseshoe Tournament held April 11 was a
very good event. We had good weather and many players.
The event was held on the Jack Springer Memorial Courts. They are so named as a result
of the many years of hard work performed by Jack Springer in Statesville plus his devotion to
North Carolina horseshoe.
Front row: left to right: Eugene Hix, Kara Hix, Thomas Hix, Charlene Hix and Karl Hix. Back row: left to right:
Rene Hix Cowan, David Cowan, Sonya Hix, Floyd Hix, Ruth Hix, Tonya Hix and Jack Springer.
Jack Springer presented a plaque to the Hix family of Ruther Glen, Virginia. This was the
19th annual Dogwood event. The plaque was presented in recognition that the Hix family has
attended all 19 events in Statesville. A very impressive record of attendance.
One of the great things about horseshoe pitching is that it is a family sport. Floyd Hix and his
family are a perfect example of how horseshoe pitching can influence family life and provide
healthy recreation.
Two ringers six to the Hix family, Jack Springer, and the North Carolina Horseshoe program.

Aurora, IL 60507
Dear Mr. Cobb,
The members of the Washington State Horseshoe Pitchers Association have reviewed the proposed
Constitution and By-Law changes as printed in the April issue of the Digest and find four particularly
disturbing.
Item 14 — Thirty foot pitchers restricted from competing with those pitching 40 feet. At the majority of our
tournaments there are not enough 30 foot pitchers to make up a separate class or classes. If passed, this
change will effectively exclude the ladies and seniors from participating. This seems a rather odd approach
for a sport that is trying to improve its image. We will not accept this.
Item 19 — All members would be required to belong to the State and National Association and subscribe
to the Digest. There are an adequate number of us in Washington who subscribe to the National Digest to
insure that printed news of importance is disseminated to the State membership. We have many members
who pitch only on a local level and support the State Association, but are not inclined to join National. This
change also would eliminate our State Associate memberships.
Item 26 — All tournament play would be required to be carried out on clay. There are over three hundred
pits in Washington that are now used for tournament competition with only four having a clay surface. We
can annually expect up to 140 inches of rainfall in some parts of the state, making it impossible to maintain
a clay court. It is not physically or financially possible to convert our sand pits to clay.
Item 27 — The count-all point system will be mandatory. If national and/or regional tournaments wish to
score in this manner, then so be it. Let those who compete at a much less regimented level continue to
compete and score as they choose. In other words, leave the scoring option open to our tournament
directors.
Let us not make the mistake of regulating our sport to the point that it will discourage the average pitcher
from joining and enjoying good old fashioned competition.
Sincerely,
Mike Thorniley, President

Dear Mr. Cobb:
I tried to settle my shirt problem quietly. I know most of the executive council and dress code committee
personally. I knew they had never seen me pitch in sleeves. I do not, and have never pitched in tank tops.
After the 1986 world tournament, I wrote two letters and one during the tournament requesting that each
member of the executive council and dress code committee read and reconsider my position. The only
reason I was given at the 1986 tournament was "Someone" had heard a comment about my shirts.
Comments? If we listen to the comments there wouldn't be anyone in sports from the executives down to
the players.
I was told that the dress code was published in the News Digest and knew I couldn't pitch in sleeveless
shirts. Not every pitcher takes the News Digest. Yes, I read it in the Digest but shouldn't it have been
12

MAILBAG — Continued
brought up and read to the convention delegates before being enforced. My thinking was wrong!
As a member and a delegate of the NHPA, I am requesting that the dress code be read and voted on at
the 1987 convention also explain the part that states . . . A person's dress lend to all participants' enjoyment of the game. "I haven't figured that statement out yet, but I'm still working on it." Wasn't I a participant?
The tennis shorts with or without socks is "good." I only wish I could pitch in shorts and tennis shoes. I
know they are comfortable but so are my sleeveless shirts.
I will not be at the 1987 tournament or convention. They won't allow me to pitch in my shirts! Would the
delegates and members, please, support me in trying to get the dress code changed.
I have no other alternative, but to fight for my rights.
Ralph Maddox
Dear Mr. Cobb,
I think I am one of a very large percentage of people who do not write letters to editors.
But I must write now to applaud the letter from K.W. Henry of Helena, MT which appeared in the May '87
issue of the NHPA News Digest.
His letter was accurate and described and expressed the opinions of many, many pitchers.
There is NO logical reason why women should pitch from 30' in competition with men.
I could to on and on, but this letter said it all. It should be read at the annual meeting. And the rule should
be changed!!
Sincerely,
Charles L. Jones
West Middlesex, PA
Dear Mr. Cobb,
What in the world is the NHPA going to come up with next? First, it was a 30 second shoe delivery rule to
get rid of one of its best pitchers, Harold Reno. Next, it was a "no smoking" rule aimed at world champion,
Dale Lipovsky, and attached to that was "no chewing" tobacco rule aimed at Alvin Perry, and now the "no
sleeves" rule for Ralph Maddox.
Ralph has always entered tournaments neat and clean, as it should be, and I see nothing wrong with
exposing one's armpits to spectators. It is done all the time in other sports. I think this issue should be

Dear Mr. Cobb,
This letter is a response to K.W. Henry's letter in the May issue of the Digest.
One of the goals of NHPA has been to increase membership & public awareness of our sport; they have
worked diligently on this. One of the areas being our youth.
I witnessed at a fun tournment two Juniors who showed an avid interest in pitching. No other Juniors
being available, they were allowed to pitch in a men's division at 30 feet. Grown men (I use the term loosely)
harassed these two youngsters with insults. Needless to say, those Juniors' pitching careers were shortlived.
To the other end of the scale—our Senior pitchers. They have earned, if nothing else, our respect. They
have lived long hard lives and many no longer have the strength and stamina they once had. The reward in
The Horseshoe Pitcher's News Digest/July, 1987
MAILBAG — Continued
the sunset of their years: 'Find some other fellows your age, form your own division, pitch at 30 feet.'
Between the Juniors and the Seniors come the women. Mr. Henry, your description of "these poor,
pathetic, deluded creatures," I found very offensive! Your remarks concerning changing the poker &
shuffleboard rules for women were absurd! Brute strength comes to mind when we talk of throwing a piece
of iron any given distance. Few women have developed powerful biceps, triceps or pectorals. If they had
more of these masculine traits, they would have the power and strength needed to "sling iron" with the best
of them! You state that "these poor pathetic creatures would really scream if they were awarded trophies
that were 25% smaller than the men's trophies." Take a look at the 1987 World Tournament prize money on
page 12 of the Mag Digest.
I have been Idaho's State Secretary for 4 years and have worked hard in drafting and making a
Constitution and By-laws a reality, in increased awareness and appreciation of sanctioned events and
established percentages. I hae spent hours year around working on endless details. My blood pressure
does have a tendency to rise, when its okay to do the work, but not to participate in the sport! I have been
an avid horseshoe pitcher, but there are only 9 or 10 women pitchers statewide. With percentages from
10% to 59%, it is impossible to have a division of women at any given tournament. I have listened to the
grumbling of many disgruntled men, to the point my enthusiasm for the game has waned considerably.
Don't get me wrong, I still love the game, but I will not beg any of you to play.
You spent your winter in Florida only to have fun in the sun turn sour because of a couple of defeats you
suffered at the hand of ladies in a couple of games. It was a game, which Webster defines as recreation,
amusement, play. It is a sport and a person who participates becomes a Sportsman, which Webster
defines as a person who can take loss or defeat without complaint; victory without gloating. Several of you
need to review these words and their meanings and to realize this is a game, for fun; a sport, something we
should all be able to participate in and enjoy!

Dear Ellis:
I was very disturbed about all of the fuss over the dress code at the W.T. I think that they should be
ashamed to pick out one man and make an issue about it.
Ralph Maddox is a credit to the game and I believe that Ralph has an apology coming from those who
started the fuss over the dress code.
Sincerely,
Leo McGrath

461 TAKE PART IN FAIRFIELD, IOWA HORSESHOE COURSE
(Courtesy of Fairfield, la. Ledger)
There were 461 students, 207 girls and 254 boys, at Fairfield Junior High who participated
in a horseshoe pitching course May 11-29.
The program was scheduled and supervised by the school's two physical education instructors, Ron Hunerdosse and Nancy Rolston, and taught by Fairfield pitchers Bill Vande-
griff
4
and Lindley Bissig.
The three-week course consisted of four 30-minute classes on Monday, Wednesday and
Friday, and five 30-minute classes on Tuesday and Thursday. The basic fundamentals of
horseshoe pitching, different methods and styles of pitching, and system of scoring were
presented to each class.
The two sets of clay courts at the school and two sets of portable courts were used. Each
group was involved for two 30-minute periods, using both the clay and portable courts.
Sixteen players (four per court), using eight pairs of horseshoes, could compete during
each class with everyone stationed at one end to start. Two players from each court pitched
one way, and after they finished, the entire group moved to the opposite court. Then the other
two from each court pitched the other way, competing against each other individually or as
partners. This method created competition and avoided injury to the studenst.
"Lots of enthusiasm was expressed during the sessions," said Vandegriff, when students
scored a point (shoe within six inches of the stake), a ringer (three points) or a double ringer
(six points). The count-all system of scoring was used to increase interest.

'RINGERS UNLIMITED" INDOOR COURTS TO OPEN SOON
Ground has been broken for Dan Kuchcinski's "Ringers Unlmited." Three time World
Champion Kuchcinski will be opening an indoor horseshoe pitching facility in Erie, Pennsylvania. It will be located at 8111 Peach Street, two tenths of a mile south of Interstate 90.
The 6,000 square foot facility will house seven courts with expansion planned for the near
future. The pitching area will be color coordinated with matching carpeting and synthetic clay.
The specialized clay substance is not only effective holding the shoe on the stake but is
also clean and maintenance free. Electronic scoreboards will be used for easy and visible
scoring.
Attached to the pitching area will be an attractive club house, a 1,000 square foot area with
office, admission area, rest rooms and concessions lounge.
Anticipated opening of "Ringers Unlimited" is early September, 1987. Many activities are
planned for people of all ages. More information will be available soon.

SCHEUB OF FLORIDA ACHIEVES LIFE'S HS AMBITION
Paul Scheul, Assistant Regional Director in Florida, at the age of 70 years young, achieved
his life's ambition in his horseshoe pitching career when he recorded a 6-0-68.5 record
winning the Class A section in the Center of World tournament.
Due to the miscalculation of the results of that tournament by the tournament director his
average was sent in as being 64.2 instead of 68.5. Paul states that at 70 years, he does not
expect to ever have a record of 6-0-68.5 again.

SALINAS, CALIF. SPORTSFEST — HORSESHOES
By STEWART SNYDER
Already, this year, Don Titcomb's second annual Grass Roots horseshoe demonstration
and tournament took place at the Salinas, California Rodeo grounds on April 16, 1987.
Two dozen more new roughshod horseshoe enthusiasts, men, women, boys and girls
added to the "over 40" who, at Don's 1986 show, signed to initiate a new Horseshoe Pitching
Club in Salinas. Generous applause by the City's Parks and Recreation Department results in
their developing new courts to accommodate this upstart Club.
TELEVIDEO PRODUCTIONS
The National Horseshoe Pitching Association and the Eau Claire, Wisconsin,
Horseshoe Pitching Association have made arrangements with a professional
television production company, TeleVideo Productions of Eau Claire, Wisconsin, to
