Our 10th Annual Tournament is now a Highlight in our club's history.
We could not ask for anything more, Sanctioned as a Tier 2 tournament, the highest level a club could achieve!
Fabulous courts, without question this is the best facility in the country!
Perfect weather, that held the storm back until the Tournament was completed!
The true reason for our success is our Tournament Team

Colin Caldwell - Jim Myers |
For three days the tournament ran like a Swiss watch. The experience of all the members of this Team and their dedication from preparing for the tournament to its completion, is not something we can quantify. Each volunteer individually is exceptional, as a team they are the
absolute best.

The story of the day
Milda Postler from Mesa, needed a partner. Her partner withdrew from playing Women's 3.5 skill doubles. Lise Nolin was at the court as a spectator and was asked if she would play with Milda. Lise agreed and went home to get her court shoes and the rest is history - Lise with her partner won the Gold! The spectators not only applauded them, they also sang "Happy Birthday Lise"
