RUMSON, NEW JERSEY

Rumson, New Jersey was the site of the 2nd Annual Women’s Shore B tournament. Great weather, great competition, great favors (a beach towel in honor of the location) and great prizes (Viking bags). The competitors came from 4 states and the draw grew from 16 last year to 24 this year. Host club Navesink CC did a wonderful job with the lunch and John Milbank was on hand to offer assistance if needed. While competitive, all the matches were played in the spirit of good sportsmanship and fun. According to Tournament Director Maria Manley “All in all it was a nice day of paddle with your friends and I hope we can have it again next year!”
