Weekly update - Sunday 2/27/11

The Tennis Tournament has finally finished with the last match played on Saturday.  We look forward to seeing all of our members and all of the tournament players and their spouses at the Tennis Tournament Awards Presentation and Pizza Happy Hour on Thursday, March 3^rd at 4 pm in the Tennis Pavilion.  This will start immediately after the Club Team Tennis that is scheduled from 2pm-4pm.    Please come out to cheer on the club team tennis teams and then stay for the Awards Presentation and Pizza Happy Hour.  You don’t need to bring an appetizer to this happy hour but you can bring an adult beverage!

Speaking of club team tennis, we are still looking for people to fill out the teams, but we plan to announce the full lineup no later than Tuesday, March 1.   Our March session starts this Thursday, March 3^rd and lasts 4 weeks until March 24^th.   If you are interested in joining this fun event, please let us know as soon as possible.

Annual Meeting and BBQ is scheduled for this coming Sunday, March 13^th at 4 pm in the North Pavilion.    I know you may be tired of hearing it, but please sign up so we have plenty of food and chairs.  This event is open to all tennis club members and the hamburgers and hotdogs being provided by the tennis club with the members bringing either an appetizer, a side dish or a desert.   Please help our social committee by signing up by Thursday, March 10^th.

SAVE THE DATE: MARCH 19^TH 6:30 PM-9:00 PM FOR AN AMAZING “CLOSE OF THE SEASON” TENNIS EVENT.    I can’t share the details but I can tell you to watch your mailbox.  Its shaping up to be quite the evening event.  So, clear those social calendars and block it out for something that will be the talk of the tennis community!!

Ken Civiello does have a ruptured achilles but he is feeling fine with his fiberglass splint.  He and Ginny are scheduled to pull out on Tuesday and has an appointment to see his orthopedic surgeon as soon as he gets home.  He will probably be off the foot for a few weeks and he will not be able to play tennis or pickleball for about 5 or 6 months.  We send our wishes for a speedy recovery and if all goes as planned we expect him back in the park with his tennis racquet in hand, ready to take on the competition…he said it in far more colorful words!!!

Just a reminder the Annual Pickleball Tournament is here at Palm Creek on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, March 4, 5 and 6.  They will be using courts 1, 4 and 5.  You can still schedule play on courts 2 and 3.  Friday Social Tennis is scheduled on courts 2 and 3.  If you have any questions, please feel free to give me a call.    Some of the top pickleball players in the country will be here so feel free to stop by the courts and watch the play.  They will also be serving lunch for $6.   This is going to be a huge event, so lets show them the professionalism and courtesy of our tennis club.

Weekly Update- Sunday, February 20th

The tournament matches postponed due to the rain have been rescheduled as follows:

Monday 8:00 AM – Mixed A – Bronze medal match -  Bob Gibson/Penny Mason vs. Pete McGannon vs Penny Jacobsen Court 5

Monday 9:30 AM – Mixed A – Gold/Silver medal match - Ken Civiello/ Rhoda Zaph vs. Ken Swanson/ Mary Ellen Halm – Cour1 1

Saturday 11:00 – Mixed B – Gold/Silver medal match - Steve Allen/Carmen Allen vs. Dennis Dahlen/Mary Sullivan Pondell – Court 5

Please feel free to go out and cheer on our players. 

The tournament awards presentation and pizza has been moved to Sunday, February 27^th at 4pm, but I still need to confirm the availability of the tennis pavilion with Ann Lykens in activities.  Assume it will be happening as scheduled and if there is a problem, I will let you know.

The 2011 tennis tournament, despite the weather problems, was an outstanding success.  We filled all of our brackets, and everything went very smoothly.   We did have nice weather for the tournament on Thursday, Friday and Saturday morning.  The men’s medal matches were played Saturday afternoon but they really had to play some great “wind tennis!”  We had lots of spectators, hot coffee, muffins and banana bread, and lots of fruit not to mention some great tennis matches.  I don’t know how we do it but this now makes three years in a row we have managed to get rain at the tennis tournament…and this is the Arizona desert!!

I spoke to the pickleball club about the problem we had during our tournament when they moved their lessons to the courts next to court 1.  Next year they recommend that we take over the four pickleball courts adjacent to court 1 for our staging area – to post scores, place for refreshements, etc.  They will also put up signs so that the pickleball players do not hang their bags on the tennis court fences during tournament play. 

Save the date – Sunday, March 13^th  starting at 4 PM is the Annual Tennis Club BBQ in the North Pavilion  (that’s the big tented area adjacent to the North Pool).  We cook up loads of hamburgers and hot dogs and we ask our members to bring a dish (appetizer, side, dessert)  of their choice to share.   A sign up sheet will be posted on the tennis club bulletin board tomorrow afternoon (Monday Feb 21^st).  Please sign up if you plan on attending so we know how much to buy and also so we have sufficient tables and chairs.   Even if your not 100% sure you will be able to make it please sign up.  This event is free to all members of the tennis club.  If you have not signed up as a member yet, now is the time to call Helen Arnold 6877.  This is also the last meeting of the tennis club and will include the election of officers.

Weekly Update - Monday 2/14/2011

Happy Valentines Day!!

We had a wonderful Sunday Brunch Social  and it just seems that for every tennis club social pot luck I go to the array of food just keeps getting better and better!!!  

I forgot to hand out flyers for a fundraising dinner the pickleball club is having at Chipotle Grill on Florence Blvd on Tuesday, February 15^th from 4pm – 7pm.  If you show them the flyer, 50% of the proceeds will benefit the Palm Creek Pickle Ball Association.  I think these proceeds will go to the charities they donate to like abused women, food bank, humane society and pickleball equipment for the children at Ironwood Elementary school.    If anyone is interested in getting a flyer, please let me know and I will figure out how to get it to you.  I will also bring the flyers to ladies league on Monday.

The Cancer Awareness Tournament is already a memory and we are now getting everything ready for the Annual Palm Creek Tennis Tournament.  We have a record number of teams already signed up and we have just about hit our limit in all categories:  Men’s, Ladies and Mixed.  The seeding event starts at 2pm on Tuesday, the 15^th.  If you are not playing in the tournament, please feel free to come out on Tuesday  to see the teams as they hit against the ball machine.  The tournament will start this coming Thursday, February 17^th and run through Sunday, February 20^th.  All courts will be used for the tennis tournament and organized play is cancelled from Thursday through Sunday!    For all of our “die hard” social tennis players that means you as well.  Sunday, February 20^th after the medal matches for Mixed doubles are complete, we will have our Awards celebration to hand out the awards and celebrate with free pizza for all of our players and members.  So, if you are a member, please come out at  11 AM to watch the mixed doubles medal matches and then stay for pizza and share in the celebration.

Schedule of Play for Tournament:

The evening prior to the matches the exact time and court for each match will be posted on www.PalmCreekTennisClub.blogspot.com.

 

In general, play will be as follows:

MIXED DOUBLES:

All mixed doubles teams will play on Thursday and Friday Mornings.

Mixed doubles teams playing for a Gold, Silver or Bronze will play mid-day on Sunday

MEN'S DOUBLES:

All men's doubles teams will play mid-day on Thursday and Friday (top seeds may have a bye on Thursday).

Men's doubles teams playing for a Gold, Silver or Bronze will play mid-day on Saturday.

WOMEN'S DOUBLES:

All women's doubles teams will play Thursday and Friday Afternoons (top seeds may have a bye on Thursday).

Women's doubles teams playing for a Gold, Silver or Bronze will play on Saturday morning.

Club Team Tennis will be starting up again on Thursday, March 4^th.  This is the last session of Club Team tennis for the season and it will go for 4 weeks ending on March 24^th.  Club Team tennis has proven to be a major step in enhancing court utilization.  We need your support for the continued success of this event.  This provides a chance for all of our members to get to know the other tennis club members.  And, it is has made a definite impression from all of the comments I have received from people outside of the tennis club!   

Cancer Awareness Tournament - February 2-4

The tennis club showed up in force to support the Tennis Club Cancer Awareness event.  The tennis club, after all expenses are paid will contribute over $1,500 to the cancer charities!!!

Everyone had a great time at the Awards Banquet, with the patio heaters adding the right amount of warmth. The delicious italian menu of lasagna, caesar salad, garlic bread with brownie bites and lemon cakes made for a great meal. 

Sitting around the tables with your tennis buddies sharing a nice glass of wine made it just perfect!







All of our players were winners!  However, Award Certificates were presented to the teams who won the most games:

Men's Division Winners with their certificates (from left to right)  Skip Nirenberg/Jack Hardy-1st Place, and Glenn Arnold /Ken Civiello - 2nd Place.

Ladies Division Winners with their certificates (from left to right) Charlotte Eicher/Leta Babb [not shown] (PM 2nd place), Betty Scofield/Carmen Allen (AM 2nd place), Bev Nirenberg/Penny Jacobsen (AM 1st place), and Patti Blessen/Susan Manganaro[not shown] PM 1st place.

Mixed Division Winners (from left to right)  Steve Allen (partnered with Kate Perrie) PM Division tied for 2nd , Hank Verhoeff (partnered with Susan Manganaro [not shown] PM Division 1st place, Kate Perrie, Pete McGannon/Helen Arnold, PM Division tied for 2nd place, Rhoda Zaph (partnered with Jim Weaver [not shown] AM Division 1st place, Rita Yates and Mark Costello AM Division 2nd place.



The highlight of the evening was the raffle drawing that added over $200 to the tennis clubs contribution to this worthy cause. 

Jean McConnell and Mike Kirsch thoroughly entertained the crowd with their quick wit and ad lib comments as they announced the winners from the drawing for each of the raffle prizes.





A special thanks to Jean McConnell and Mary Anderson who both did an exceptional job as co-chairs for this successful event.  They both agree that they could not pull this off without the help of their team:  Bob McConnell, Doug Anderson, Dick Stone, Carolyn Stone, Sieny Kouwenhoven, Mary Williams, Connie Emerson, Darlene Knowles, Marilyn Howisey, Nancy Restum, Mary Sullivan-Pondell, Barbara Stolz, Glenn Arnold, Walt Krahl, Rhoda Zaph, and Kate Perrie.  A heartfelt thank you goes to all of these volunteers for contributing their time to such a worthwhile cause!  Last, but not least, Pete McGannon deserves special recognition for creating the raffle idea with his donation of a new Wilson tennis racquet.

Weekly Update - Sunday 2/6/2011

First a huge thank you to all of our tennis club members who supported the Tennis Club’s Cancer Awareness Tournament. Despite the unseasonably cold weather we played every match scheduled! A huge thank you to all (players and volunteers) who faced some pretty cold wind chill factors and still came out to make this worthy event such an outstanding success. Our chairs, Jean McConnell and Mary Anderson outdid themselves putting on a first class event. With patio heaters taking off the chill our members enjoyed the Italian Themed Awards dinner of Lasagna, Caesar Salad and Garlic Bread (not to mention the Lemon Cakes and the Brownie Bites for dessert). It was a great site: the Tennis Pavilion filled with tables covered with Red and White Checked Table Cloths and all of our tennis buddies clinking wine glasses and enjoying the fun of a “raucous raffle” emceed by our own Mike Kirsch. The final tally is in and the Tennis Club has $1343 in net proceeds from the tournament (this is after $272 for food and $45 for balls), and $209 from the raffle for a total donation to Cancer Charities of $1,552! This far exceeds our donations in the past and, it is important to note, our past donations were then reduced for the costs of the park provided shirts and lunches.


Everyone who participated was a winner but those scoring the most game points included:

Women’s Doubles: AM: 1st: Bev Nirenberg and Penny Jacobsen, 2nd: Betty Scofield and Carmen Allen PM: 1st: Susan Manganaro and Patti Blessen, 2nd: Charlotte Eicher and Leta Babb

Men’s Doubles: 1st Skip Nirenberg and Jack Hardy, 2nd Ken Civiello and Glenn Arnold

Mixed Doubles: AM: 1st: Jim Weaver and Rhoda Zaph, 2nd: Mark Costello and Rita Yates PM 1st: Susan Manganaro and Hank Verhoeff, Tied for Second: Pete McGannon and Helen Arnold tied with Steve Allen and Kate Perrie

Photos are posted on our blog: www.palmcreektennisclub.blogspot.com. Just click on this link and it will take you right to the site. I hope you enjoy my impressions of the event. Sorry I did not get any photos on the courts but at least I remembered to bring my camera to the Awards Banquet!!!

Please remember you can get a full listing of the tennis club members on the roster posted on the blog site as well under the link on the right side titled Tennis Roster.

On a sad note, we have lost a dear member of the tennis club, Al Bovluger. Carol Bovluger has invited the members of the tennis club to a Celebration of Life event on Saturday, March 12th at 11 AM in the Ballroom. Carol is planning a lunch and in order to help her plan we will have a sign up sheet posted on the Social Bulletin Board. Please save the date, sign up and come out to show how the Tennis Club supports our own.

The Palm Creek Tennis Tournament, February 17 – 20th is getting close so don’t delay, find a partner and come participate in this great event. Currently we have 5 Men’s teams, 6 Women’s teams and 10 Mixed teams. Our goal is to have 16 teams in each category so we need your support. One of the things I hear from our members is that they want challenging play. Well, here is your chance. After your first match if you win, you will move up to compete against the other winners. If you lose your first match you progress to the consolation round and play against another team who also lost their first match. If you want help finding a partner, please give me a call or reply to this email. We would love to see all of our brackets filled with no byes so we need you to sign up by February 15th at 2pm (the date of the seeding event) and share in all the fun!

As the seeding event is on Tuesday, February 15th we will not have tennis lessons on that Tuesday. But, the tennis lessons will be held this Tuesday (2/8) at 2pm so come on out and join in. No matter what your level, it is great practice to hit lots of balls and also quite helpful to have an unbiased third party on hand to give you some insight on your play.

Next Sunday, February 13th at 11:30 AM in the San Tan Room is the February Brunch Social/Meeting. This is a lot of fun and always interesting array of delicious foods. We love homemade but store bought is always welcome. Bring a brunch item that feed 6-8 and join in the fun. Please sign up on the sign up sheet by Friday, February 11th and bring your Valentine out for an early Valentine’s Day Celebration Brunch.

Club Team Tennis will start up again on March 3rd - March 24th for our final 4 week session. Don’t miss out on the event that everyone is talking about. If you are interested in playing in the March session, regardless if you have played in the past sessions, we need you to call, send an email or just sign up on the sign up sheet posted on the bulletin board.

Weekly Update - Sunday Jan 30th

The Cancer Awareness shirts and visors that were ordered through the tennis club are in and I have them at our RV. Please call and stop by to pick up your order. If you have not yet paid for your order, please bring your payment as well. I received cash in an envelope in the mail. There was nothing on the front and nothing inside to identify who it came from. As I don’t have a CSI DNA identification kit I have to trust in the honesty of our club members. Please let me know if you sent the cash.


When Diane placed the January order she did order some additional shirts. Sadly, none of the extras match what is on the sheet of shirts to be ordered. The shirts on hand include:

Women’s – 2 Medium (White), 2 Large (Red) and 2 XXL (Red)

Men’s – 3 Large (White), 2 Large (Red) and 1 XXL (Red)

If anyone who has already placed an order would like to change the color ordered to get their shirt right away, let me know. If you have not ordered a shirt, but would be interested in one of the shirts on hand, let me know and I will get it from Diane. Otherwise Diane will hold them and will not invoice the tennis club for them unless we order them.

Club Team Tennis has finished the January Session. It was lots of fun and we got a lot of people who were around the tennis courts asking what was going on!! Our final week was quite the event – the Mica Lane Ladies, Kathy Jensen, Helen Arnold, Terry Bradley and Bonnie Morgan came out to the courts dressed in their “high tea” finery. Not only do we have the most fun, we have the best dressed spectators!!! Larry Marik serenaded us at happy hour with his sax and his flute – what a treat!! And, the Park Photographer was out on a tall ladder to capture all the Tennis Club activity!!!

With all the work we will have running the Palm Creek Tennis Tournament we have decided to start the last session of Club Team Tennis on March 3rd for 4 weeks ending on March 24th. Please let us know if you are interested in playing in the March session by February 24th. Club Team Tennis is a great way to get to know other members of the tennis club, helps make new friends, enhances court utilization for the tennis club and is great fun! Support our wonderful club and call Mark at 5459 or send him an email at ma.costello@yahoo.com to sign up for the March session.

The Cancer Awareness Tournament is just around the corner starting this Wednesday with Ladies Doubles!! Please, Please, Please remember to sign up by tomorrow (January 31st) to attend the Awards Banquet on Friday Afternoon, February 4th. For all those playing in the tournament this is a free meal for you and your spouse!! Remember to bring cash to the Awards Banquet as we re going to have lots of great prizes to raffle with all of the proceeds going to support Cancer Awareness. Its going to be a fun event, great food with a wonderful group of people. I hope to see you there!!!

The sign up sheets for the Palm Creek Tennis Tournament are posted on the Tennis Club Bulletin Board and attached to this email. Find yourself a partner and come out for some great tennis. We will have a consolation round so that if you lose your first round you will go into the consolation round. The seeding event is scheduled for Tuesday, February 15th starting at 2pm. If you cannot make the seeding event let us know and we can schedule you earlier. If you would like to play but don’t know who to ask to play with you, let me know and I will work on finding you a partner. This is one event you don’t want to miss.

SAVE THE DATE – February 13th is the next Tennis Club Social/Meeting 11:30 am-1:30 pm in the San Tan Room – This is our famous pot luck Sunday Brunch and it is loaded with some brunch favorites and some brunch creativity. The sign up sheet will be posted on the bulletin board on Monday afternoon. Please sign up, bring a brunch item that feeds approximately 6-8. We will have coffee and hot tea but bring your own beverage if you prefer something a little stronger!!! We love the great homemade specialities, but please know we understand how busy we get here at Palm Creek and if you want to bring in something store bought, that is okay as well!!!
