The Deansville Horseshoe Club is alive and well. The winter Horseshoe
league was established 20 years ago and has evolved into two vibrant
leagues held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Each league has 5 six
member teams.
The league will run for 20 weeks, beginning early October through March.
The leagues use a 90% handicap to allow for more equality between players.

players pitch 6 games of 16 shoes for a total of 96 shoes. Players pitch for
turkeys at Thanksgiving and hams at Christmas time.

Madison, Waunakee, DeForest, Sun Prairie, Cottage Grove, Stoughton,
Deerfield, Portage, Marshall, Johnson Creek, Lodi, Columbus, Middleton,
Cambridge, Jefferson, Fond du Lac, London Depot, & Watertown.
