We had a great tournament at Tanglewood today. The weather was a little cool to start with this morning but it warmed up into the high 60sF by the afternoon. All four courts were busy with the men's matches conducted on two courts and the ladies matches on the other two courts.
Competition was good on both sides with many hard fought matches. All entrants received a goodie bag containing a free ticket for lunch, a raffle ticket and other nice things from the tournament sponsors.
Travis and I played reasonably well but lost our first draw on the "A" side of the tournament to Marcel and Al unfortunately. That put us on the "B" side against Bob Hughes and his partner Pat. We were fortunate to beat them after losing the first game. Our next oponents were Bill and Marvin. We won that match in two straight games which then pitted us against Jimmy and Jim in the gold medal match on the "B" side. They are both great Tanglewood players and outplayed Travis and I in the "B" final. It was a long day and neither of us had much left for that last match. Travis and I both walked away with the silver medal which we thought was pretty good for not having played too much together yet this year.
Rich Donald (pictured above) and Al Goldberg won the mens "A" event in a hard fought final match. Congratulations to them. Sorry, but I don't have all the results. I was too busy playing, taking photos and having a good time. We even had our own clowns who managed to keep everyone in stitches with their antics. Good job girls!
