42nd Annual Alamogordo Open Tournament

Weather was terrific for ATA 2017 fall tournament.. Although the draw was small,  tennis was excellent with players traveling from Las Cruces, Albuquerque, El Paso, and Amarillo.  Many  enjoyed a nice evening and buffet at the 19^th Hole restaurant Saturday night.  Huge thanks to Linda Gilliland, tournament director, and Nell Nicholson, tournament referee.  Special thanks to Greg Richardson for obtaining and organizing all tournament donations.  This was the first year that ATA offered cash prizes in a tournament, which was well received.  Also thanks to everyone who helped set up and clean up the courts before and after play each day, and to everyone who supported and played in this tournament.
