Road To The Cup – Week 19
Road To The Cup – Week 19 Top-10 as of 10/2/16 Let’s start with a shout-out to our friend Susie Schneider, who broke her foot last week. We have no specifics on when or how this happened, but it’s an immense drag that prevented her from serving as PRO for the Laser Masters this weekend. …

Road To The Cup – Week 12
