The first tennis event of the season was held on November 4th. This month's game was Triples. This coed format puts 3 players on each side, and a low compression ball is used. It makes for a very challenging and fun time. Following play, everyone went into La Palma for the fritters, fruit, coffee and juice. The Tennis Committee held its monthly meeting while everyone was at play. Julie recapped their meeting for the players afterward. A drawing was held, and these 6 players got their $6 entry fee back.
