By the response we get, I'd say it's something people look forward to each year.

We try to get city leaders involved, and we're constantly looking for really good players. It's gotten harder to get some of the really good players from the area because there are so many tournaments going on, and you can't play every week.

I just played with a group of guys who were instructors here in the mid-'60s. I think we have quite a few people who were here years ago and come back every year to play in this tournament.
