Instead of a private gathering afterwards, we will be meeting at ES at 5:00pm to join in on the “ live ” music and $2 Mar- garitas and Tacos. Flyers will be posted with signup and other pertinent information as the date approaches. Unfortunately, There will be no Horse Races this season. Checkout the Monthly Tennis Calendar for a complete list of dates and times for all organized tennis.

What advice would you give to someone new to Tennis: I think someone new to Tennis benefits tremendously from lessons in the basic skills. It ’ s fun to just start hitting the ball but if you want to develop your game, lessons and practice are very important. You also need to get involved with fellow players at your skill level. Competition is fun but only with players of similar skill levels. Andy is also a party DJ! Once things are back to normal we hope to utilize his talents for one heck of a tennis party.
