Group 2:

Paul Claypoole, Mangini’s Team.

Group 3:

Jim O’Brien, New Rehoboth Team.

Congratulations to each of the winners and all of those who competed.

Bruce’s Corner is an attempt to offer our friends and neighbors a way to improve their game with the advice of someone they know and play with regularly.

Bruce Bagley is a long-time, dedicated, and respected member of SSPL. He has offered to share his experience and knowledge of the game with our members, with the idea that sharing will benefit all of us and bring our game to the highest level possible.

Neither Bruce nor I claim to be an expert in what we do. I have been searching for someone to participate in this project for a long time. Bruce has volunteered to give his time and energy to help create a benefit for our group. We welcome your input and questions; however, be kind.

Bruce’s Corner will present a series of video tutorials about various aspects of the game. This is an ongoing project, and the videos will be released periodically in what we hope is a logical order, starting with the basics. Please comment if you want a specific subject covered, and we will attempt to fulfill your wishes.

Here is a short preview of what is to come:

Join Bruce and me in Bruce’s Corner here.

The American Legion Post 5 in Rehoboth Beach is conducting a raffle to win a one-week stay at a beach house in Rehoboth for mid-August 2025. A member of the SSPL league is generously donating the beach house to benefit the Veterans’ Programs of the Legion. The attached flyer provides more details on the raffle and instructions on how to purchase tickets. 

Besides being a good opportunity to support the Legion, why would someone who lives here want to win a week at another house? Because we all know someone who would love to visit the beach, but we don’t want them to stay with us.
