Further discussions with Simonis continue, and preferential pricing is now in place for regional tournament operators. Contact Tony Annigoni for ordering information.
Simonis, a long term supporter of the Reno Open and The Pro Am is looking at providing a bonus structure for our events that would be part of the overall USPPA Bonus Picture.
Tony Annigoni, Managing Partner of The USPPA, noted in a recent press release, “The famous engineer Wallace A. Grant once told me “ You never learn until you measure”. When the USPPA System is employed as a rating tool as well as a handicap, players gain insight to their performance. When coupled with the Accu- Stats Rating System and the Total Offense Practice System players have a complete development program by which they can accurately measure improvement.”
