Due to family and work obligations, this year I won't be able to make it. Lets see an interesting and intriguing bottle between Jim, Larry and John.

So far it appears Teal & Trey Stanley, JR Smith, Bobby Gerringer, Mike Ross, Glenn Fuquay, Grover Minor, John & Jeff Webster plan to attend from NC. There are others I may not be aware. 6 of us plan to drive in together.

I heard Larry Keen, Jim Morrison, and John Webster (maybe some others?) tied for first in masters, but John Webster won on honor points. I also heard Bobby Gerringer won majors. I have no official results though.
