GREEN VALLEY RESORT 2009 TOURNAMENT SUMMARY

Green Valley Resort in St. George, Utah, October 11-16, 2009, turned out to have perfect weather for our AMTA meeting! We had temperatures in the 70s with cloud cover, no sun in the eyes until Thursday, the last day.

The Tuesday outing to the outdoor Tuachan Amphitheater for dinner and the musical "Aida" by Elton John was a huge hit! A live camel came on stage as well as a surprising waterfall that started at the upper canyon and came down and flooded the stage with 2-3 feet of water. And the singers and musicians were outstanding.

Quite a number of AMTA members took advantage of 2 free nights at Green Valley Resort when paying for 5 and planned a full week in St. George in order to visit some of Utah's National and State Parks. Some were able to squeeze in a few rounds of golf, since St. George alone has some 12 golf courses.

The morning CME meetings enjoyed large leather chairs while eating breakfast and listening to lectures. A real plus!

We witnessed some very competative matches with many outcomes decided by two points in the 3rd set 10 point tiebreak. See the tournament results below.

At the Thursday night Awards Banquet, there happened to be a lovely grand piano, and we were favored with a solo song from Dr. Phong Nguyen accompanied by Dr. Craig Broome. A real treat!
