Congratulations to Tracy Ackerman and her guest Tim Stonecipher on their victory in the 2011 Rough & Smooth Tournament played on a beautiful fall Saturday, November 12th.  It was a repeat pairing of last year's finals match, but this time Priscilla Danforth and John Berry were unable to defend against the very consistent play of Tracy and Tim. Twenty teams competed and enjoyed a day long grill for the kids and adults.  In the back draws, congratulations to the Consolation winners, Heidi Clough and Kevin Driscoll, Consolation Reprieve winners, Kristin Goedkoop and her father Gene Markowski and Quarter Reprieve winners, Anne Erskine and Will Carr.

Our upcoming events include:
This weekend's Men's Member-Guest
January 7th: His& Hers Tournament (Mixed doubles with husband/wife teams encouraged, but not required)
February 4th:  Fuzz and Feathers event with our friends at The Gut
March 17th:  Club Championships and closing party.
