The 10th annual Atlanta Grand Masters drew a record 150 participants from across the country in early December, with play at Midtown Athletic Club and Westminster School. Players arrived from Salt Lake City, Wisconsin, Memphis, Boston, Charleston and Tuscaloosa to give battle in some very competitive draws. A splendid time was had by all, with the traditional Swapna dinner and a "Decade of Success" award for sponsor Keith Clemens.
