Tennis Talk

On Saturday, March 15, the Tennis Club had its first tournament of the year. We dodged a rainout with folks squeezing the courts to start on time. The Prescott Tournament is our yearly charity tournament in honor of Phil Prescott, our benefactor for courts 5 & 6. The charity is our own VMA, and Randy reports we raised $1,470.00, a combinations of tournament fees and donations.
Past President, Randy Shaw did a bang up job of organizing the tournament by filling the courts with 48 participants so that everyone played with 6 different partners and keeping a grand total of games won. Wendy Ferguson came in first with 20 and Brett Foreman came in second with 19.
The chairman (Randy Shaw) likes what he sees.
Enjoying the Prescott tournament.
Nancy Domingo outdid herself again providing the food: bacon, sausage, egg bites, coffee, orange juice, cheese quesadias, spaghetti, etc. The viewing stand was full most of the time with people eating and watching.
We have 2 USTA village teams in full swing: Women’s 65+ 7.0 team and Men’s 55+ 7.0 team. Come down to the courts and cheer on your fellow villagers.
Women’s 65+ 7.0: March 21 and March 28 at 11:00am
Men’s 55+ 7.0: March 23, March 30, April 6, April 20 and May 4 all at 4:30pm
And be sure to bring a neighbor to the tennis club Open House on Tuesday, March 25.
