Host Hotel - Quality Inn and Suites Golf Resort,  Golden Gate Parkway, Naples.  The management and staff at this hotel were outstanding.  Well organized, always there to help - and the food at the Players Social was excellent!  And MORE than enough for the nearly 170 attendees.

So many of you volunteered your time at the Player Social, selling raffle tickes, taking pictures, handling the door prize drawing or at the tournament either helping behind the table, helping with the food  or with player assignments.  Please know that we appreciate your help and your time.  

And a special thank  you to our volunteers who refereed throughout the three days; without your help we would not have been able to run a sanctioned tournament.
