Ray, I entered the tournament online. Could you please verify that I successfully entered?. I think that if I'll mail the check tomorrow, it won't make by Saturday morning, so if it's ok, I'll pay at the tournament.. Entered last minute as I though that I would be out of town..
There is a movement gaining some momentum to bring back the old-style "Sandpaper Paddle" as a special tournament event. Please take a couple of minutes and complete the survey about these alternate styles of play.

Another exciting Lakeland Senior Tournament was held for the month of April in Lakeland, Florida. The competition was really tough and two classes were formed for the tournament, with a Colossal Round Robin format used to determine the winners in both classes.
In the Championship Class, Stuart Lesser, from Clermont, Florida went undefeated to win the Championship Class. Lesser also recently won the Senior Championship in his age bracket at The Villages Senior Games, upsetting several higher rated players. Lesser, a left-handed player, appears confident with his improved playing.
Erwin Watkins, from Winter Haven, Florida finished in 2nd Place in the tough Championship Class. Watkins has recently changed to long-pips on one side of his paddle and continues to improve. Watkins continues to grow in confidence as he becomes more familiar with the actions of his new surface.
In the Elite Class, Daryl Larson, from Clermont, Florida won First Place. This was Larson's first visit to the Lakeland Senior Club and we hope he will return every Thursday. Larson used a variety of tricky serves with unusual spin to win many points during the competition.
Rudy Berzins, from Winter Haven, Florida finished in 2nd Place in the rugged Elite Class. Berzins used his anti-spin rubber to his advantage against several players. Berzins continues to improve his game and gain rating points.
The next Lakeland Senior Tournament will be on May 8, 2008 at the Simpson Park Community Center in Lakeland, Florida. All players, Age 40 and above are welcome to enter.
