"Ipanema" Beach Tourney 8/25/12

A terrific way to end the summer season...great playing, lots of laughs, no issues, good food, cash pay out- what else can you ask for?!

Thanks to all who supported the tourneys, many more to come. Last year, I put together a short video capturing some exciting action from different events. I will try and do something similar this year, so be on the lookout. As most tournaments go, we had last minute changes and additions...ended up with 12 teams battling it on a gorgeous day. We burned through 3 pools of 4 teams in pool play by noon, and started a double elimination with match play on the winners side.

Nice playing to all- special kudos to Dave B. for playing great D. Ben & Jimmy for battling it to the end, my partner Desi for fighting through late in the day leg cramps. Way to go to Marcus for pulling the tallest beach player (Casey @ 6'7") in ABQ, and playing solid all day. Mark & Paul for continuing to improve your game.

Here is the final results.
1. Harris & Desi
2. Jimmy & Ben
3. Casey & Marcus
4. Larry & Mike Mc.
6. Paul & Mark/Holley & Jarred
7. Jeff & Dave/Stan & Candice
9. Kameron & Barish/Same&Joe/Thomas&Sarah/ZZ&Kevin
