Charleston Open at Kiawah and the Charleston Squash Club
In an action packed weekend at the Charleston Squash club in mid-January, the 3rd Charleston Open saw 12 divisions were decided with players converging from as far afield as Rhode Island, Wisconsin, Florida, Mississippi, Ohio, Washington DC, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina.
The feature match of the weekend was the Professional Squash Association final between Jonas Laursen and Joe Millman ranked 180 and 252 in the world respectively. Millman's incredible speed surprised Laursen as he twisted and turned the higher ranked player from Denmark, but despite Joe's best effort, Laursen always managed to find an extraordinary winner from even the most defensive situation. The first two games were close - but in the end the Dane was able to counter Millman's attacks and ran out winning in a well-contested match.
Other highlights of the weekend were sponsor and Charleston Squash club member Richard Friedman's victory in the men's 3.0 division, Harry Miley and Paul Gingrich's victory in the Men's B Doubles against fellow club members David ( who was looking particularly svelte in the final) Lewin and Berry Rudisill, Sponsor and club member Bob Sade - winning his first Men's 70 and over event, and the team of club member Neal Vohr and Richard Millman in winning the Men's Open doubles.
Congratulations in particular to Damon Bourne from Madison Wisconsin who won both the Men's 5.0 /5.5 and the Men's 40/45 events. The youthful Page Lansdale from Bethesda MD won the 50/55 event, while newcomer and lowly 8th seed Alex Lane from Wilmington North Carolina won the 4.0 event. For the second year running the hard working Jason Bourne from Cary North Carolina won the 30+ event.
Particular thanks go to sponsors Jay Luzuriaga of LWoode and Company, Dunlop Sporting Goods and Steve Hall, Charleston Orthopedic and Richard Friedman, The Hamlet Fine Art Gallery and David and Melinda Lewin, Harry Miley of Miley Gallo Associates, HS Russell, Bob Sade and to our patrons J Page Lansdale and Hunter Freeman.
