2 Die bykans 20 uur lange vlugte het ons reg g soos gekreukelde wasgoed laat voel toe ons daar afklim. Ons word egter hartlik ontvang deur Gary, Casey en Travis wat ons hotel toe vat. Na n lekker bad en vars klere voel ons beter. Travis kom haal Charisma Sondagoggend vroeg om haar so bietjie touwys te maak tov die horseshoes. Liefste Casey en Gail gee aan haar n paar horseshoes waarmee sy n beter flip kan gooi asook handskoene sodat sy nie haar hande deurgooi nie. Na n heerlike middagete saam met Gary, O e Reno en die Sluyse het ons gereed gemaak vir die aand se funksie. Met ons aankoms by die funksie, het Stuart Sipma (President van die NHPA) ons baie spesiaal laat voel. Die gesinne van Gary Roberts, die Sluyse, Kevin Lewis asook Seth Ohms het ons soos spesiale eregaste laat voel. Toekennings was gemaak aan administrateurs asook uitstekende spelers en is afgesluit met die Life me Achievement Awards asook die plasing van lede in die Hall of Fame. Die Life me Achievement Awardtoekenning was aan slegs drie persone gemaak waarvan Gerrie Jacobs een was. Gerrie het op sy gebruiklike opregte en vermaaklike wyse die NHPA bedank asook vir hul deelname aan Jukskei as n presisie gooisport. Hierdie toekennings word nie sommer aan iemand buite die sport Horseshoes toegeken nie, maar Gerrie se bemoeienis met Horseshoes oor die afgelope 30 jaar om ook Horseshoes se saak by die Olimpiese Komitee in 2010 te gaan stel, het aan hom hierdie toekenning laat verdien. O e Reno, oom van Gary en een van die baanbrekers om Jukskei na die VSA te neem, het spesiaal van Ohio gereis om saam met ons te kuier friends who play together, stay together. Van Maandag tot Woensdag het Charisma deelgeneem aan die Horseshoe kampioenskap in haar klas. Die kompe sie was baie sterk. Charisma het n baie goeie ringer gemiddeld gehad van 53% en het daarvolgens derde in haar klas geëindig n merkwaardige prestasie vir haar wat nie elke naweek aan die sport deelneem nie. Sy wen 6 van haar 15 wedstryde en dit plaas haar 10de uit die 15 deelnemers. Dus eindig sy binne die beste 50 van alle vroue (nes Jukskei almal bo 18 tot 70). A er the nearly 20-hour flights we really felt like creased laundry when we got there. With open arms we were received by Gary, Casey and Travis who accompanied us to our hotel for a nice shower and some fresh clothes. Early Sunday morning Travis fetched Charisma for a training session on the horseshoes before the tournament starts. Casey and Gail gave Charisma a pair of horseshoes with which she could throw a be er flip, as well as gloves to protect her hands from all the throwing. A er a lovely lunch with Gary, O e Reno and the Sluyse we prepared for the evenings event. Upon arrival our at the func on, we felt welcome by Stuart Sipma (President of NPHA), and like special guests of honour by the families of Gary Roberts, the Sluyse, Kevin Lewis and Seth Ohms. Awards were made to administrators as well as excellent players and end off with Life me Achievement Awards and the placing of members on the Hall of Fame. The Life me Achievement Awards only gets awarded to three person, of whom Gerrie Jacobs was apart. Gerrie applauded the NHPA in his humble and humoris c ways and thank them for their par cipa on in Jukskei as a precision throwing sport. Usually these awards aren t made to people outside the horseshoe sport, but was made in excep on to Gerrie for his input in horseshoes over the last 30 years to also present Horseshoes at the Olympic Commi ee in O e Reno, uncle of Gary and one of the pioneers in ge ng the USA to par cipate in Jukskei, travelled especially van Ohio to join us on our visit friends who play together, stay together. From Monday to Wednesday Charisma par cipated in the Horseshoe championship in her class. The compe on was extremely strong. Charisma achieved a very good ringer average of 53% and ended 3de in her class an excep onal achievement for not playing regular tournaments. She won 6 of her 15 games and ended 10th of 15 par cipants, ending within the best 50 of all the women par cipants (just as in Jukskei all above 18-70). October 2017 Jukskei SA 2

3 Die wenners wen 1500 USD en daarna was daar nog n elite kompe sie daarna waartydens hulle meer as 600 USD kon verower. Hier is beslis n geleentheid dat ons moontlik meer Horsehoes in SA kan speel en daar gaan deelneem ons sal beslis in die onderskeie klasse kampioene kan oplewer (en ons uitgawes dek as ons goed genoeg vaar). Ons het elke dag na afloop van Charisma se deelname (in meer as 40 grade) buite gaan Jukskei gooi en is oorval met belangstelling. Kevin en Seth het ook gehelp en ons het verskeie jonger kade e en belangstellendes afgerig. Ons sou op Donderdagoggend agtuur n wedstryd teen Gary en sy span speel, maar ongelukkig het dit heelnag gereën en was die bane deurdrenk met modder. Ons het Vrydagnamiddag lekker saam met Kevin, Seth en sy vrou Amy en kinders asook ander belangstellendes gespeel. Gary moes binne aan die Horseshoes deelneem en kon hy nie saam met ons deelneem aan die vertoonwedstryd nie. Nogtans, stel die mense belang en is hulle geïnteresseerd in ons sport. Kevin Lewis en sy vrou het uit hul pad gegaan om vir ons St George se besienswaardighede te wys. Hulle het ons na die Mormoonse Tabernakel, die Snow Canyon Park en Tuachan Amphiteater geneem. By die teater waar die berge die backdrop vorm het ons die Mamma Mia Musical geniet en dit was n ongelooflike ervaring. Gary, sy vrou en dogter het ook moeite gedoen om ons te onthaal. Casey, Gail en Travis Sluys is werklik vriende wat uit hul pad gaan om ons te ondersteun en trakteer en sal lewenslange vriende van Jukskei wees. Ons het Saterdagmiddag terugvertrek en het n wonderlike ervaring met die mooi stad St George, Uber heen en weer, aangename Limonade en lekker geselskap gehad. Ons het Saterdagnag na een in New York geland en is weer seweuur die volgende oggend na JFK lughawe om Maandagoggend in Suid-Afrika te land. Tien dae van verskillende landskappe, opregte vriende, uitstekende sportmanskap en ambassadeurskap sal in ons herinneringe bly. Dankie aan almal wat die toer moontlik gemaak het en al die Amerikaanse vriende, Facebook SA vriende wat deurentyd saam met ons getoer het, vir u meelewng en ondersteuning. The winners won 1500 USD which was followed by an elite compe on where they stood the chance to win more than 600 USD. Here is definitely an opportunity to par cipate more in Horseshoes in SA and to go par cipate in the horseshoe compe - on and deliver champions in the different classes (ones expenses can easily be covered if you do well enough). We demonstrated Jukskei outside (in more than 40 degrees) every day a er Charisma s horseshoe throwing and received a lot of interest from other players. Kevin and Seth also assist us and we coached several younger and interested players. On Thursday we had a planned game at eight against Gary and his team but due to rain the previous night the pitches were unplayable. However, late Friday a ernoon we had a lovely game wirh Kevin, Seth and his wife Amy and their kids as well as interested players. Unfortunately Gary had to par cipate inside in the Horseshoe championship and couldn t join in the demonstra on game. Even though the people are interested in our sport. Kevin Lewis and his wife real went out of their way to show us all the a rac ons in St George. Some of the a rac ons we visited included the Mormon Tabernacle, the Snow Canyon Park and Tuachan Amphitheatre. What an incredible experience to watching the Mamma Mia Musical in theatre where the mountains forms the backdrop. Gary, his wife and daughter also went out of their way to entertain us. As well as Casey, Gail and Travis Sluyse who are truly friends that went out of their way to support us and will be lifelong friends of Jukskei. On Saturday the trip back to SA started with wonderful experiences of the beau ful city of St George. Uber all over, lovely lemonade and company. We landed Saturday night a er one in New York and le again at seven the next morning to the JFK airport to be back in SA the Monday morning. A trip of ten days through different sceneries, sincere friends, outstanding sportsmanship and ambassadorship will always stay in our memories. Thank you to everybody who made the tour possible and all the American friends, Facebook SA friends who stayed connect and supported us. October 2017 Jukskei SA 3

7 DIE AGTERBLAD Die Road Runner (Skeidsregter) tydens die Meesterstoernooi Dit blyk dat die Road Runner dit tydens die afgelope SA Meesterstoernooi n paar keer moes ontgeld het. Storie 1: n Span van KZN was nooit ten gunste van sy me ng en finale besluit nie. Hulle besluit toe om hom n streep te trek. Na afloop van n wedstryd word skeie gepak en word hy geroep om te kom meet. So ampertjies was hy gevang, maar was weereens die span een voor. Storie 2: Tydens die proewe tussen die Grootmeesters Vrouespanne besluit die twee kapteins (ek hou maar hulle name anoniem) om hom n liederlike streep te trek. Hy word geroep om te kom meet en gaan sit die twee kapteins weerskant van die sandput om op sy versoek seker te maak die toutjie is reguit gespan. Die verskil is die twee gaan sit le erlik langs die sandgat lekker wydsbeen. Hy vra hulle om bietjie verder te sit, want hoe kan hulle so sien die toutjie is reguit. Daar word toe aan hom verduidelik met handgebare dat hulle kan sien die toutjie loop reguit tussen en onderdeur hulle bene. Die arme skeidsregter het nie geweet wat om daarop te sê nie. Storie 3: Op die laaste dag kry hy n assistant. JJ van die Weermag bied ongevraagd sy hulp aan. As n skeidsregter benodig word, gryp JJ die toerus ngtassie en hardloop solank vooruit, gee die kwassies aan spelers om solank skoon te maak om die knopies en meld die skeidsregter is oppad. Dit was groot pret dankie julle twee vir hierdie pret op die baan. THE BACKPAGE The Road Runner (Umpire) during the Masters Tournament Looks like the Road Runner had to pay the price a few mes during the Masters Tournament. Story 1: A team from KZN wasn t happy with his measuring and final decision, so they decided to play a prank on him. A er the game they stacked their skey s and called him for a measurement. He was almost caught out but was the team one ahead again. Story 2: During the trails of the Great Master Women teams the captains (be er for us to keep the names anonymous) of the two teams decided to prank him for good. He got called out to measure and the two captains decided to go sit on both sides of the pitch to be ready to assist to make sure the line is straight on his request. The difference was the literally went and sit down next to the pitch legs wide spread. He requested them to sit back a bit, because how can they see if the line is straight so close by. With hand signals and all they explained that they can see the line running straight through and under their legs. The poor umpire had no response to their explana on. Story 3: On the last day he got an assistant. JJ from the Army offer unsolicited assistance. On request of an umpire, JJ grab the instrument case and run ahead. Giving the brushes to players to clean the bu ons and report the umpire is on his way. It was great fun thank you to the two of you for this fun on the pitches. The only discipline that lasts is self-discipline! Bum Phillips October 2017 Jukskei SA 7
