 P.S.-- After the tournament we adjourned to our house where Mike presented Earl with an apron congratulating him for being the unofficial winner of the chili cook-off on Friday night. Texas-style chili with no beans is unusual here in the Carolinas, but it was much appreciated by Friday night's crowd.
