Kirk Vradenburg and Chris Tate defeated Tod and Brian Whitman in the Open Doubles As of December 31, 2016, not only is the year over but our 2016 Spokane Club Members Tournament is officially ended! Although the “primary” tournament dates were November 12-21, a few events were re-scheduled and finally played on Dec 31! With 188 players, the members tourney continues to be the biggest tennis event of the year. Tod Whitman, President and CEO of 24/7 Educational Services once again agreed to sponsor this Annual Club evert. With Tod’s sponsorship, we are able to increase the value of participant gifts and food offerings, while keeping the cost to play in check! This year, all entrants were provided with unique, Spokane Club-logo rubber cups along with a huge selection of hot and cold food catered by the Spokane Club. With our sponsor’s continued support, this event continues to be an awesome member value. Play on the courts didn’t disappoint as Singles, Doubles and Mixed Doubles draws provided avenues for all players to compete in level. The Open events became a Fager family affair as 18-year-old Kyle captured the Men’s Open singles while 16-year-old Brooke defeated her mom, Kristina, in the Women’s Open singles!
