Pro-Am Tournament
	Sunday, February 18, 2001
		Tournament Director: Stan Patmor


The event many of you have been waiting for is NOW!

The croquet PRO-AM tournament will be hosted by the Arizona Croquet Club.
This wonderful venue is located just east of Invergorden and McDonald Drive in 
Paradise Valley, Arizona.  Ren Kraft is a well-known Arizona croquet player
and is a United States Croquet Hall of Famer.  
Ren put this full-size court into his backyard around 1985.

The tournament will be directed by Stan Patmor, both a founder of the 
Arizona Croquet Club and also a USCA Hall of Famer.

We will divide the court into two halfs and play two games at a time.  We will
be able to handle up to 8 teams with this format, but call Stan early and reserve a spot.

Stan Patmor may be reached via email at patmor@aztec.asu.edu or at 602-955-1547.

This is an event you just may want to stop by and watch even if you decide not to
try your hand at the game.

Either way, let's all show up and support the event...
