The Volunteers

    Volunteers started the Invitational, volunteers maintained it and volunteers have elevated it. Today a group of over 40 dedicated people work to run the best tournament possible. For some it is a year round commitment. From the ladies who work the scoreboard to the starters to the marshals to the people filling up the coolers, it is truly done by teamwork.
