The tournament awards presentation and pizza has been moved to Sunday, February 27th 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 13th 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 21st). 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.
