Dear Hardbatters, Kaufee (spelling?) won the tournament, with Taa (spelling?) coming in second. There was a small turnout: about 100 entries. I didn't attend...
Hardbatter--gregarious, free-thinker, etc.--would like to share a room for the 2005 US Open. He prefers to stay at thetournament hotel. If interested, do you...
