Seattle
Is there a tournament around with a longer history than Seattle? 55 years and still going strong. Ryan Daly’s tournament have two divisions this year, and the addition of NAFA assuming some of the administrative duties. Only appropriate as NAFA got its start in the Pacific Northwest. One of NAFA’s founders, Jim Williamson (JRW) is convalescing in a Yakima WA hospital, or he’d be there too.
