  • Indoor Tennis Party 2010

    Around 24 people attended this year's Indoor Tennis Party.  It was marked by a large "injured reserve" group.  Wendy's having elbow issues, Deane had surgery, Chuck has tennis elbow, Beth has a bad shoulder.  And Patty had a "bum" finger.  Oh the moans and groans were everywhere!

    Those who did get to play had a fabulous four hours to get off their "tennis rocks".  Those who didn't had a fun time observing and chatting. 

    Wendy put together yet another great night of tennis, (of which we have come to expect every winter)!  Thanks, Wendy!

  • Tennis Awards Brunch

    A late season Tennis Awards Brunch was  held on Sunday October 25th.  Prizes were presented to all the winners of our tournaments in 2009.  Claire, Wendy and Patty C. laid out a nice spread of bagels, lox, muffins, and quiche.  Paul Cecere displayed all the wearable items with club logos– tees, visors, hats – and our winners selected their choices of prizes.  Our deepest thanks go to our tennis committee for all their hard work this season.

  • Labor Day Fun Tournament

    Our Labor Day Men's and Women's Doubles Tournament had a great turnout and plenty of surprises!

    In the men’s division, Richard Haas and Dan O'Connell won first place over Deane Prouty and Chris Canty.  For the women the winners were Susan Moscou and Mary Liberatore with second place taken by Kathryn Buckley and Dana Olin. 

    Congratulations go to all our winners!

  • Mixed Doubles Tourney 2009

    After a one week rain delay our Mixed Doubles Tournament was held on a beautiful, sunny, cool September morning.  Seven teams played in a one-set elimination format.  (Losers got plenty of tennis in playing several sets with one another afterwards!)  A continental breakfast filled and fueled our hungry competitors.

    It all came down to an evenly matched final between Claire Miko/Jon Wallen and Patty Cecere/Mike Smith.  Claire and Jon took the first set 6-2; Patty and Mike took the second set 6-2!  A full third set was played - resulting in a tie, of course.  Claire and Jon finally won 9-7 in the tiebreak.   It was well-fought and enjoyable for all the spectators.  Congratulations go to both the winners and runners up!

    We thank Patty Cecere and Claire Miko for organizing the tournament;  our thanks go to Paul Cecere for picking up the breakfast food!

  • Men's Singles Tournament

    The rain gods were good to our little corner of Park Hill; despite torrential rain in towns all around, not a drop fell on the courts the night before our Competitive Men’s Singles Tournament!  Since it was incredibly hot and humid and the guys looked exhausted, our finalists Joe Harbeson and Mike Smith will play their final match at another time. They both looked like they might get heat stroke if they tried to play more!  Only the men’s side of the tournament was held; due to other commitments many women were not able to sign up.  We plan to advertise another date and try one more time for the women.  Our thanks go to Patty Cecere for organizing the day.
