The Palm Creek Tennis Club "Super-Bowl-of-Tennis" was held Friday, January 31 and Saturday February 1. Organized by Don Baggett and his wonderful team of helpers from Hot Springs Village, AR, we had six teams of eight players each participating. Teams were named for the top teams in pro-football and competed in two brackets, the American Conference and the National Conference. Our teams in the American Conference were the Panthers, captained by Larry Marik; Broncos, headed by Penny Mason; and Gar Wildeman's Patriots. Representing the National Conference were Connie Emerson's Seahawks, Brian Yonge's Colts and the 49ers, captained by Bev Argo. The teams battled not only formidable opponents, but heavy winds on Friday and cold temperatures on Saturday. Hardy fans cheered on the teams on both days and were rewarded with some exciting matches. The championship and consolation matches were held at the courts on Saturday afternoon, followed in the San Tan Room by a happy hour, pot-luck buffet dinner and an auction and raffle to benefit Palm Creek's Cancer Awareness Event. A grand time was had by all.
Play filled the courts Friday and Saturday.
Club co-chairman Glen Carter welcomed those attending, passed out some awards and introduced event chairman, Don Baggett.
