15th Annual Wynn Sorkin Memorial Tennis Tournament
Wednesday, June 17, 2009
Pat Ackerman and Ray Koloski won the 15th Annual Wynn Sorkin Memorial Tennis Tournament. The finalists were Bruce McBride and Len Stadd. There were 16 participants.
The Tournament was held on Wednesday, June 17, 2009 on a welcome sunny day. A round robin, handicap (high-low pairings) doubles tournament for men/women 60 and older who are annual pass holders, the tournament honors Wynn Sorkin, a long term member and former vice president of the Albany Tennis Club. Wynn was also a well known Masters athlete in track and field, competing at the Empire State Games in the shot put, discus, hammer and javelin. He had always wanted to create a low-key, fun-filled tournament that was geared to senior players, and would not have a "one loss and out" format. Steve Steinhardt, Wynn's son-in-law, runs the tournament. Nicole Fuller provided valuable help to Steve in selecting the pairings, a role performed for many years by Frank Collins, who is no longer living in the Capital Region. Nicole also ably handled score-keeping an court match-ups. Check out the photos...
