We are so thrilled to have our older members in the WPHPA.
They enjoy the game and receive the many health benefits,
like social activity, light cardio, mindfulness and flexibility. It
keeps them strong, active and engaged.”
Today, the game is popular throughout the United
States. It’s estimated that more than 10 million people
play horseshoes every year. “H.O.P.E. Horseshoe
Club on Baldwin Road in Carnegie will host the
Pennsylvania State Championship Tournament
Labor Day weekend. All spectators are welcome
to watch some of Pennsylvania’s best horseshoe
pitchers,” says Ireland.
WPHPA hosts the Pennsylvania State
Indoor Tournament every April. This year’s
tournament is at the DuBois Horseshoe Club,
Apr. 27 & 28. Members from across the state
participate in various classes: Juniors, Elders, Mixed,
Women’s Championship and Men’s Championship.
