There were three state tournaments last week in Florida, two pro and one amateur. The pro events were split between Lakeland and Bradenton, while the amateurs were at the Sanlan RV Resort in Lakeland.

Now we’ll move an hour or so south to Bradenton for the men’s and ladies doubles, in memory of Joyce Marquis. Before posting the results I’ll share some photos of the memorial put together by the Bradenton Club to honor Joyce. Her husband, Mike, spoke eloquently about her life and accomplishments before the tournament began.
