Committee Corner
TENNIS
I am bringing back my predecessor's Committee Corner where each month we will be featuring a different committee member. This month I am featuring Mary Holmes, who is in charge of Mixers.
Due to the current COVID stay at home order all organized tennis events have been cancelled through the end of January. We hope February brings a loosening of restrictions and fingers crossed, we can get back to the fun and competition of our mixers and horse races. Since USTA and Desert league play have been cancelled for the season, the Tennis Committee, led by Steve Simpson, is looking to put together an ORPS inter - resort league. This will be open to all levels with separate men ’ s and women ’ s teams. More details will be provided as well as signups early in the new year. As with everything else, the start date for the league will be subject to current COVID restrictions. Men ’ s & Ladies Top Gun as well as mixed doubles ladders are also being pushed back from their January starts. Keep an eye out for the return of Novice Clinics.
