74 Carolina Open
- Wayne Milhado vs R.T. Jones at Sanford Moose Lodge
(Rev.
Robert Toombs Jones, a Master Player from Cleveland, GA in 1974, later Atlanta,
GA)
1960 Lakeside,
Ohio (view close-up)
There were three tourneys held each year that attract the better players - the Florida Open was usually held the week after Easter. The Southern Open was held in a southern state in late July and the Lakeside Open was usually held the first week in August at Lakeside, 0hio. Lakeside vanished when Claude Hile died and Northern States came about after the demise of Lakeside, because when Claude died Lakeside Northern Opens took a dreadful financial hit since they lost both, one of their main organizers and the funds. Nobody knew anything about the funds or his business pertaining to it. 1983 was the last Lakeside Tourney and 1985 the 1st Northern which were usually scheduled in mid July and held at Lakeside until 1973? The last Cedar Point, OH Tournament was in 1951 which Marion Tinsley won. (see Lakeside in abbreviation & information)
