Saturday April 17th! Not strictly a horseshoe tournament but it involves pitching horseshoes and sounds fun!!

The Irish Immigration Pastoral Center is holding a fundraiser Treasure Hunt through the City and one of the spots will be the Golden Gate Park Horseshoe Courts along with a horseshoe challenge that has to be passed in order to move on to the next location. The SFHPC is providing the horseshoe pitching equipment for the event.

admin@sfiipc.orgSFHPC members and horseshoe pitchers lets get some players out there to show the first timers how it's done.
Post Comments: A great time was had by the treasure hunters, and a lot of people discovered the horseshoe courts for the first time. We hope to see them back.

Rico Castro, aka Clownbaby, came to play once he finally found the horseshoe pits! He picked up a local partner and took home 2nd Place!!! Nice job Rico!...Rico's team edged out Lord of the Ringer 2nd place finishers
Peter Zepponi and Jon Bastian in two very tight matches. Peter & Jon took 4th place, with Peter winning the overall title of "Ringer King", with a tournament high of 37 ringers, with 5 doubles. The tournament was a lot of fun, with the "whiskey shot challenge' called frequently against the San Franciscans to knock us off our game. But we held our liquor and held on to finish in the #2 & #4 spots! Besides all the great prizes, tournament sponsor
Prime Smoked Meats, Inc, donated 3 lbs of thick cut smoked bacon to each of the participants! We literally brought home the bacon. Who says there's no money in horseshoes? Ken Baker puts on one fun tournament! Highly recommended if you like cold beer, good music and spending a sunny Saturday tossing some shoes. I especially liked the themed music for the finals! Nice touch. Don't miss Round No. 3. Rumor has it, that Ken is going to include a BBQ and beverages in the registration fee for the next one! We're looking forward to seeing several of these guys in Golden Gate Park for the September 12th SF International Horseshoe Pitching Tournament! Beware! the winner of this tournament has already registerd for Sept 12th. Alemeda fire fighter and dead eye horseshoe tosser Eric Frego has teamed up with one of the famed Livermore Gibson brothers to create a tough team to beat. Let's see if SFFD can send a team to match them!
