The race to make the 2020 State Masters is heating up with only five weeks to go before it begins. In the men’s division the 12 place position, currently a tie between Jerry Stannard and Tom Winkelspecht, is only 11 points behind 8th place. The race is even closer on the ladies’ side with 17th place, currently a tie between Joan Buck and Nancy Myklejord, is 11 points behind the final Masters’ spot. That shows you just how bunched up it is and how much these next five weeks mean.

First we visit Trailer Estates for P21A.
