A tip shroud assembly comprising a segmented annular shroud, each segment comprising a radially outer surface, and a radially inner surface including a plurality of first holes defining a first row and a plurality of second holes defining a second row, with each of the rows extending circumferentially along the length of the segment and the first row in spaced relation to the second row. Spaced radially outward from the radially inner surface is a circumferentially extending plenum, and a plurality of first passages extend from one of the first holes to the plenum, and a plurality of second passages extend from one of the second holes to said plenum. The plenum communicates with the radially inner surface through each of the first and second passages, and the length of each of the first passages is at least three times the diameter of the first hole from which it extends.
