Washington State Open


The event of the year is here-- are you ready for it?

75th Annual Washington State Open 2012!!!

75 is a big number-- The Washington State Open is a senile old man chasing after women on his electric wheelchair in the nearby retirement home. The Washington State Open is yelling at kids to get off his lawn. The Washington State Open is tying balloons on his roof so he can fly over to paradise islands with an Asian boy scout and a talking dog. 

Yeah. The Washington State Open is pretty awesome. 

In all seriousness, 75 is a huge deal-- and we're making it a big deal. We've been planning this tournament since last year-- plans, plans and more plans. It's going to be big.

And we want you there.

Here's the information:
