On October 6, 2019, MIssina and I played mixed doubles in the Nick Hostler Memorial Tournament at the Twin Oaks Country Club in Springfield, MIssouri.
The tournament was very nice. There was a great turnout with lunch served, raffles for great prizes (we both won paddles) and lots of added amenities.
Missina had a torn groin going into the tournament, and I mistakenly thought I could cover the entire court. No excuses! We played well and were in the running for a medal until a violent storm attacked southwest Missouri ending the tournament for the players who had not finished. We were lucky we made it to the car! It continued to rain all day Sunday so there were no more matches.
Once again, we met some very nice people that we look forward to seeing again. Hopefully soon!
