Shuffle Off to Lanark Village

Life in Lanark is like being on a cruise. There’s always something to do, and you don’t have to wander far from your room to find food, friends, and entertainment.

On cruises, as in Lanark life, there’s lots of sunshine and salt water. There are plenty of great day trips for when you’re docked. Also - there’s shuffleboard, a sport rarely spotted outside a cruise ship’s deck but perfect for fun “at sea” days when you don’t feel like straying too far from your cabin.

The object of a game of shuffleboard is to slide a puck down the length of the court, aiming for the marked-off frame that will earn the greatest number of points. The puck is maneuvered with a cue stick and must stay within the court’s boundaries to score.

In some ways, it’s not unlike golf (you hit a small object with a long one, hoping it will land where you want it to), so it’s not surprising that the Lanark shuffleboard court is located on Golf Club property.

Players meet there on sunny weekends, so if you’d like to join them (or watch), keep an eye on the Golf Club and Village Idiot Facebook pages for dates and times. Then cruise by the court and join in the fun.
