Of course these are the top pitchers in the World. It is such a privilege to get to know them and learn what makes them champions. However, this year I somehow had the good luck to vie for a top spot in my class at the World. I know it’s a very different category but the emotions have got to be the same. After two days of pitching, I was tied for 1st place – each of us having 9 wins and 1 loss. We had 3 games to go on day three. I was so nervous my first game, it’s a wonder I even hit the pit. My opponent and I were tied at 38 shoes. I knew I had to win. She threw and both shoes bounced away – I managed a ringer. 23- 20 Whew!!! In the second game I had my opponent 30-17 and again nerves took over. Final score was 30-29. Still Shaking! The last game I just told myself ‘you can do this’ and Just relaxed and pitched my best. I knew the #2 gal had lost a game. When I won my last game I just burst into tears. It was an amazing and unbelievable feeling. This was my 20th World World Champions Russ Phillips 2011 World Elders Champion Phyllis Quist 1st.

Their home address is PO Box 175, Chelan, WA 98816. I don't have the hospital address. Some of you know her, some don't, but wanted to let you all know.

I knew this was not a top world pitcher championship game – but for me I felt on top of the World! I was very proud when Jim placed in the money at 4th in his class. And then Russ came along and became the Elders World Champion – and I cried again. The World Tournament is such a special time. Everyone should, at least once, take the opportunity to strive for a world title. It is the highlight of my horseshoe pitching years. We had a great time in Monroe, Louisiana and covered a lot of beautiful countryside. But as we were driving home, we crested a hill and off in the distance I saw the snow capped mountains and my heart skipped a beat – I knew I was coming home. What a great feeling.

Shoes News Page 6 While at the Bellingham International Tournament, I took some time at the end of the day to sit down with Ray DeBoer from the Skagit Horseshoe Club. Ray became involved in the game of horseshoes about 1985. He told me that he was out riding his bicycle one evening when he heard some clinking. When he went to investigate, he met Bill Owens where the old Burlington Horseshoe pits were located. No sooner than when he found what the clinking was all about Bill Owens put a pair of Horseshoes in his hands. Shortly after he got involved with the sport he was pitching about 25% at 40 feet and then he progressed to 48% at 40 feet. He was the President of the Skagit club for (15) years. I asked him if he has ever won a State Tournament in his class. He said that in 2000 he won the State in Burlington, and he also won in Bellingham, but couldn't recall the year. When I asked him if he could recall any memorable games his reply was that he had won a 3rd place at the World Tournament in Bismarck North Dakota. Ray told me that one of the things that really excited him was that in 2010 at he was inducted into the Washington State Hall of Fame at Spokane. He was not present when the presentation was made, but it was presented to him at a club meeting held at Margaret Byfields and he still can't believe it. Ray has just moved up to the 30 foot mark. He does have pits at his house, but he does most of his pitching with the club. Ray said if there is anyone he would likely want to emulate, it would be Paul Quam because he's like an old Timex (takes a licking and keeps on ticking) Paul (Kingtut) Tutewiler 23 + 45 * $ * 6 7 8& Game Related Sales Order your horseshoes and Game Related Sales items from: Check out WSHPA.com A great Website that improves every year.

In my heritage, going back as far as I can remember, the shoes from those big workhorses have always been a part of my life. My grandfather raised Percherons, and the discarded shoes from those big workhorses hung on a tree, along with some ‘store bought’ pitching horseshoes where he and his neighbors pitched in the farmyard. In every public park, in every campground, horseshoe pits were included as part of the design. Living where I do, where one can use the excuse “I got caught in a cattle drive” for being late for work, I believed that horseshoe pitching would ’catch on’. I built horseshoe pits in the city park, and hold two tournaments a year there. My vision that this community would embrace horseshoe pitching has not 3 %& & 0 17 % 1 $#' % & 2 (7, 5$ 7 , , , , ? , , , , , , , , , , , , , , %% 8(; '(7 710 $ 4 - & ( / &$ & ) $ & $#' % 7 $#' % 1& ! $# 8 # "#$ % .& $ % =0 ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? =0 , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? , , , , , , , , , , , , , , $ ; + %% 5$ (7, 7 / &7 ! 7 ; ' &0 8(; '(7 6 6 , , ? =0 ? , ? , ? , ? , ? , ? , ? caught on as I had hoped. ! 2 , ? , ?
