COLORFUL,CONFIDENT, SNAPPY DRESSER; MIKE VASSOLOTTI DROVE HIMSELF TO BECOME A GREAT PLAYER THRU ENDLESS PRACTICE – OFTEN ALONE FOR AS MUCH AS 7 HOURS AT A TIME.
HE STARTED PLAYING ON THE EAST COAST BUT MOVED WEST JUST TO BECOME A BETTTER PLAYER. HE REACHED 200; 300; AND 400 POINTS FASTER THAN ANY MAN IN SHUFFLEBOARD HISTORY ON ROUTE TO THE F.S.A. HALL OF FAME. HE WON OR TIED IN 4 STATE MASTERS AND LED THE STATE IN POINTS 3 TIMES.

GENEROUSITY SHOWED WHEN HE GAVE THE FSA A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF $ THAT INCREASED TOURNAMENT WINNINGS FOR EVERY STATE TOURNAMENT IN I YEAR. LET US HONOR MIKE VASSOLOTTI.
