Baltimore Metro Horseshoe Club uses regulation clay courts

for the majority of their tournaments and league play.   

Horseshoe Pitching is a Family Sport - Horseshoe pitching
boasts of being one of the few sports that has a national champion for men,
women, boys and girls and can still be played in one's backyard. It can be
played by one or more and by the young as well as the old.

Physical Fitness - In this day of weight-watching, what
better way to exercise than walking, bending and reaching? These are integral
parts of this great sport. Game-related injuries are rare, and doctors have
repeatedly stressed the beneficial aspects of this sport.

Join the Millions of Participants - It was recently
estimated that upwards of fifteen (15) million enthusiasts enjoy pitching
horseshoes in the United States and Canada, in tournaments, leagues, recreation
areas and backyards.

Food and beverages will be available to purchase. Only
sanctioned, pre-registered pitchers may participate in the tournament. Spectators

are welcome.  Rain date is Sunday,
September 1.
