The Tournament is Under Way

We couldn't have asked for better weather for the annual club member tournament!  Connie Emerson and her helpers had things organized and under way in bright sunshine on Valentine's Day starting at 9am with the men playing on 6 courts.  Mixed couples played at 11 and the ladies took to the courts at 1:00, with great playing all the way around.  

Stay tuned for more action!

Palm Creek Tennis Club Tournament

The club tennis tournament will be Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, February 14, 15, and 16.    This is a round robin tournament meaning teams will play the other three teams in each division.  That also means teams will play every day.  If persons have signed up for two events you will have to play twice in one day. Men will play every day at 9:00, Mixed will play every day at 11:00, and Women will play every day at 1:00.  There will be no other tennis on those three days except the tournament games until after 3:00.  We are looking forward to a good time on the courts.  Those not playing, please come out to cheer on those who are!    All tennis club members are invited to attend the chili dinner on Sunday, the 16th, in the San Tan room to celebrate the end of the tournament.

Winners Announced!

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.

A noisy and hungry crowd filled the San Tan Room for the Awards Dinner and Auction

Event Chairman Don Bagget awarded the Super Bowl Winner, The Broncos, with their certificates and Super Bowl Rings.  From left to right...Tom WIlliams, Mary Anderson, Glenn Arnold, captain, Penny Mason, Barb Woodman, Herbert McMahon, and Robert Burns. (not present at awards, Dennis Snell)

The tennis club spared no expense on the Super-Bowl rings for the winning players.

Nancy Restum and co-chairman, Penny Jacobson, autioned off numerous items to benefit the Cancer Awareness Fund.

Another great event enjoyed by tennis club members!
