The next big event in Florida is coming up on December 10&11 at Tropical Park in Miami. You want to know why I'm going to refer to this as a big event? 3 Weeks ago I took a little road trip with some guys down to South Florida to play a little ball at Holiday Park on Saturday and planned on going to Tropical Park on Sunday. We picked the right weekend because that weekend the locals had planned to hold a small in house event at the park. We ended up in a event that had almost 40 players who were all competitive and probably 20-30 other spectators. They had a potluck lunch setup, plenty of refreshments and to top it all off the guys smoked a huge pig for the main course. All this for a non advertised event, pretty cool. Remember that just 3 years ago this is the park that only lost in a tiebreaker to the legendary team of Swain/Hogan in the pro dubs finals. It's evident that these guys know their courts pretty well.

I think it is pretty safe to say this should be a pretty big turnout, seeing how there are 2 other parks within 10 miles that didn't even hear about this event and then you factor in the usual suspects from holiday park and the West Palm crew. Think that NY Jesus has already looked at flights from California about $280, hmmmm sounds like a perfect time to get away from your cold weather up north and visit sunny Miami Florida.
