The Crokinole Champ's Secret



Every Christmas Marty and his brother-in-law have a game of crokinole. Every Christmas Marty wins. His secret: he has flat fingernails.

Can't see enough pictures of people at a crokinole board. Which one is Marty? Who owns the board? If Marty has an interest in putting the 'flat finger' theory to the test there is probably a crokinole club in the vicinity. Check out: http://www.nationalcrokinoleassociation.com/clubs.php
I gather from other blogposts that you are in Owen Sound. There's a club there hosted by the father of the World Crokinole Champion. I play here in Toronto, alas, with tragically curved fingers.You may have a point though, the Champ, Brian Cook, has pretty flat fingernails. Enjoyed your blogpost.

Marty is the one on the right with his hand on the board. His brother-in-law on the left owns the board.

We used to be in Owen Sound, now we live in Hamilton. Is there a club in Hamilton?
