Atlanta shows well @ Chicago Nationals








14 men and women from Atlanta competed in the 2011 President's Cup event and National Championships in Chicago, March 10 - 13. The women's Region VII (south) PC team, captained by Freddy Goldenberg, fielded our first full team ever with 6 from Atlanta, and captured 6 points to finish ahead of Region VI in a great showing. The men's team, with Andy Todd of Richmond as captain, took 3 points and also finished ahead of Region VI. Though still a long way to go to capture the title, clearly Atlanta and the south are improving each year we compete. In the National Champtionship, which began the next day, the 14 players won some matches and had a great time at what was an incredibly well run event at the Glenview Country Club in the Chicago suburb of Golf.
