2024 registration started January 1st. Office hours are 2:00 to 6:00, Monday - Friday.  Thanks for thirty-seven years of fun!  Mike & Mary

Teams that registered by Valentine's Day were entered in the "Free Beer Drawing". Misfits, Alisaa Y (Mon 6:30) get a pitcher each week. Perfectly Adequete, Robin P. (Thurs 7:30) and Three and Half Men, Rick W. (Mon 7:30) each get a pitcher for trying.

A volleyball/four square or crossnet has been added for your enjoyment. There are several videos out there on how to play. Have fun!

Corn hole is now available. The lights are in. Have some fun!

Last call for alcohol is 11:30. We want to be out of here by midnight as the staff have real jobs they need to attend to. As for me, I need to get home and throw a Frisbee for Leo before I sleep. Thanks, Mike and staff

 If the sand is hot or cold you will be glad you ordered some sand socks. I suggest trying Ted at VBGear.com (link to footwear, sand socks are at bottom of his page) in Marion, Iowa.

Again this year we are relaxing the Co-Ed rule. You can now play with 3 guys and 2 girls. 

If you cannot make your match please call 255-9004 after noon. Thanks

Ragin' Bajan (Barbados): mango, passion fruit, sweet & sour, dark rum, blue Curacao and dash of bitters. Pain Killer (Virgin Islands): orange, pineapple, coconut rum, dark rum and dash of nutmeg. Melty Cure: 16 oz cup with ice, Pain Killer and 7up.

Heat Advisory: Drink plenty of water throughout the day then come play. Wear something that can get wet; the stand-up showers are great if you are hot and sandy. It's going to be a good night for sand socks.
