There was a great turnout this year and everyone had a wonderful time with many players breaking in the New Year with the famous HHO New Years' Eve blast! Sol Lipkin and friend, Susie Pacifico, were there for several days and enjoyed watching the competition and participating in the fun too and, of course, all players love seeing and visiting with Sol Lipkin who will be celebrating his 100th Birthday soon.  

One of the highlights during the HHO 2005 tournament was the well deserved induction of Jack Scott (HHO Tournament Director) into the Texas Shuffleboard Hall of  Fame.  You can view his history and Texas Hall of Fame induction booklet on the TSA website at:
