The Sacramento Open took place last weekend at Johnson Ranch in Roseville. The winner’s podium was crowded with GVPC (and GVPC-adjacent) players.
Ken Cutler took second in Men's Singles on Sept. 23, playing in the 3.5:60+ division. Not content with his silver medal, Ken came back the next day to win GOLD in Men's Doubles 4.0:60+, playing with his brother-in-law Tuan Nguyen. A couple of their fiercest opponents were Jay Zellmer and Vince Dallugge, who took home bronze. (Pictured L-R: Ken, Tuan, Jay & Vince)
Many of you also know Doug Koch, who has put on many clinics for our Club. He won the silver medal in Men’s Doubles, playing at the 4.5/5.0:60+ level.
Congratulations to all!
