Congratulations to Lee Danielson who overwhelmed the competition at the Florida Orange Blossom Series-Winter Classic 2018. His 7-1 record in the Progressive Class at the tournament in Lakeland Florida on Saturday February 17, 2018 was very impressive. His USATT rating improved from 857 to 868. You can see the full details here, http://www.floridatt.com/lakelandtt/news.php
The only other member of the Villages Table Tennis Club, John Borjeson, played in the Challenger Class and faired less well, 1-9. After his first USATT tournament he now has a rating of 1231. Better luck next time. The table tennis ladies met at the Waterfront Hotel on Feb. 19 with 12 ladies present. Everyone enjoyed the meal with lots of laughing and talk of good times. At the table where I sat we discussed the many options of having a knee replaced. Then it became more interesting to find what doctor to choose. There are so many choices both here in the Villages and places like Tampa, Ocala, and Orlando.
Pat Deacon Bill Mogensen will be the face of the Villages Table Tennis Club during next weekend's Senior Games Sports Expo at Rohan Regional Recreation Center, Saturday February 24 | 9am-3pm Sunday, February 25 | 10a.m.-3p.m. Does anyone else think that's kinda scary? Be sure to go down and visit.
