Congratulations everyone, good luck and have a fantastic tournament.

PLEASE NOTE THE AMATEUR LADIES LIST HAS CHANGED.

Masters Qualified Final

We would like to congratulate Carol Helfer for joining Rex Galusha as our next qualified members to the Northern District Hall of Fame. They will get their jackets and induction ceremony at the 2024 Master Banquet. (in order to be inducted you must qualify by December, so they will have to wait until next year)

We should also congratulate Diana Vincent for earning enough points this year for her Pro Pin joining Steve Smith, Tom Brown and Tom Grubb.

Mid-Florida Lakes hosted the ND 2023 Tournament of Champions on March 9th and 10th, 2023. Rod Lewis and Frank DeRocchi were the tournament directors.
