The Betmar Shuffle Club hosted the Florida Shuffleboard Association State Championship which finished on Wednesday, February 1^st, 2017.  There were so many players that the tournament took three days to complete; two days is the norm but Zephyrhills is the Capital of Shuffleboard when it comes to numbers of players and Championship players.

Chuck began operating the most popular Zephyrhills Website in the year 2010.

In the Men’s division, Lakeland Club member Paul Prescott teamed with Zephyrhills member, Chuck Moulton, to win the Championship.  They had several close matches including the 2^nd match in which they trailed by 40 points in the 3^rd and deciding game.  They finally tied the game at 74, 75 is game.  Moulton made his hammer to win the match.  The semifinal went three games; they lost the lag for color but won the third game on the off-color to make it to the Championship match.  They trailed 59-45 in the 1^st game when Earl Ball gave up 25 points on his hammer from the foot in trying to win the game but stopped short at 74 giving Moulton the chance to win with the next hammer, which he did.  They won the next game and match easily for the Championship.
