2012 Mayfield Men's Invitational

2012 Mayfield Men's Invitational Bonspiel

In November of 2012, Rink Wickman and Rink Hartranft headed to the Mayfield Curling Club in South Euclid, OH, for the 26th Men's Invitational Bonspiel.  The teams were composed of:

Rink Hartranft

Jeff Hartranft, Tracy Lutze, Larry Cook, & Vince Vidrick (is this right?)

Rink Wickman

Ryan Greene, Adam Huffman, Craig Wickman, & Bryan Wilson

On the way there, it would seem as though we were doomed to have a tough weekend.  We were exiting the high way, when we had an accident with a pick-up that went through a red light.

The guys immediately got on their phones and had guys from the other team come and pick most of us up.  I stayed with the car.  The rest of the team then got to the club, started playing with a sub for me, and I got there in the second end.  We then WON, by beating the champs from the prior year.  Not bad.

We then ended up with a rental for the rest of the weekend.  I wonder if someone was compensating for something?

There was also a steak dinner, which was wonderful and a house party at a member's home, which was beautiful.  While there, they had actions and a raffle.  Rink Wickman won a shirt, and then our entry fee back!  Pretty cool!  We split the money, but couldn't do that with the shirt, so we drew to the button after our next match, which Ryan Greene won.

Overall, it was a good weekend!
