It has been a busy fall for the Villages Tennis Club. Roy Pennington, Peggy Seidel and Jim Murphy organized our second VTL (Village Tennis League) for October and November. There are 4 teams captained by Jim Murphy, Roy Pennington, Sherry Benz and Betty Olsen.
The final match for each team is on Sunday, November 12 at 1:30pm. All 4 teams will be playing, so come down to see your fellow tennis members play their final match.
A celebration party is planned for after the last match on Sunday, November 12 which should be around 3:00pm. Bring something to share.
At the same time…September, October and November…the Villages Women’s USTA 6.5 team played their last match on Tuesday, November 2. Again, we almost came away with a win. Sherry Benz and Lolivic Shaw won in a 3rd set tie-break and Joy Rem and Betty Olsen lost in a 3rd set tie-break 10-8. However, we do have one distinctive win over the number 1 team.
It is now time to embrace the holidays. You don’t want to miss our Tennis Club Holiday party on Sunday, December 3 at the clubhouse. Linda Dumont and her committee is planning a special holiday dinner and dance. Stay tuned for future announcements with details and how to make your reservations but put this date on your calendar now!
