Palm Creek Tennis Tournament (February 16-19)– The registration forms are available with hard copies in the bulletin board (“Upcoming Events” section facing the pavilion). You can sign up for gender specific doubles (ladies or mens) as well as mixed doubles. The registration fee is $5 per player per event for Tennis Club Members, $10 per event for non club members. Now is the time to ask one of your tennis friends to be your partner. If you would like to play and you don’t have a partner, give me or Mark a call (6459) and we will find you a partner. This event is a lot of fun and results in some good quality tennis. The single elimination process with a consolation bracket results in almost everyone playing at least twice. Please get your registration form and monies to Mark or me at Site #459 by February 14th. The seeding event will be held at 2pm on Tuesday, February 14th. This is gives you a good warm up with your partner and makes sure you are playing at the right level. And, don’t forget to mark your calendar right now for the Sunday celebration awards dinner. Its free for all players, their spouses and all tennis club members. Guests are welcome for the most reasonable price of $5 per person!
Cancer Awareness Tournament – The times are now set for the Cancer Awareness Tournament. As we once again do not have enough courts to schedule everyone in one session, the ladies doubles and mixed doubles sessions are split between a 9:30 start and a 12:30 start. The session times for all players will be posted on the bulletin board on Monday and I will also send out an email to let you know if you are scheduled in the 9:30 session or the 12:30 session. As we have split the sessions there are some courts available for scheduled play. We have made changes to accommodate as many of the existing reservations as possible. On Wednesday and Friday, Social tennis will have courts 1 and 5. Therefore they will need to split the groups and have a rotation line up on each court. On Thursday Social Tennis will only have court #1. If you have court reservations on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday (2/1, 2/2, or 2/3) please go into www.reservemycourt.com to check on your reservation, check on the status of organized play or make a reservation on any of the available times. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me or Mark at 6459.
Remember, the Tennis Club Cancer Awareness Dinner and Raffle/Auction is scheduled to start at 5:30 on Saturday, February 4th in the San Tan Room. If you are playing in any session your dinner is free. Anyone not playing can attend the dinner for the amazingly low price of $5. Those not playing but attending the dinner need to sign up by Thursday 2/2. The sign up sheets are inside the tennis club bulletin board. Jean McConnell and Mary Anderson have done a wonderful job getting some fabulous items for the raffle and the auction. Please remember all of these monies go to the Cancer Awareness Charities of Susan B. Komen and the American Cancer Society. So bring some money with you and in addition to getting some great deals you support a very worthwhile cause. Mike Kirsh heads the raffle and auction and if it is half as much fun as last year’s event you will not want to miss it!!
Club Team Tennis had some away games at Mission Royale this week and from the feedback received from the players it all worked out very well. The Mission Royale teams did a wonderful job and even added door prizes to their event. Everyone appreciated that all the games started in both locations at 2pm. The Robson Ranch group reported that they have shared with their management that there are now games at Palm Creek and Mission Royale but with only two courts they can’t participate. Evidently this has spurred Robson to look into building two additional tennis courts!!
