Fall is in the air and the tennis courts are getting hot with activities. On Oct. 22, the Tennis Club opened its official first Round Robin of the season, followed by a social afterwards. Sixty-four members signed up to compete and receive a coveted prize upon winning!
It was a lovely morning for a tournament. Aquine Jackson and Susan Hunt checked in all competitors, assigned them their courts, and the fun began. There was much vigorous play among the contestants. The temperatures were perfect for fiery play, energetic serves, and vigorous returns.
At the conclusion, the group enjoyed pizza and a refreshing salad hosted by our social director, Joan Patchin. Lots of intense conversation was to be had as much catching up was fitting after the long summer break.
Awards were given to the top female and male players on each court. Winners are as follows: John O’Grady and Mary McConaughey; Ric Sarro and Pammy DeRouin; Curtis Patchin, Dennis Whitley, and Patricia Owens; Rebecca Marner, Norma Whitley, and Michael Stepien; Karyn Swinford and Jay Hayden; Vicki Shaner and Dave Fredrick; Dan Schimmelpfennig and Debbie Walsh; Jonathan Colter and Barbara Camozzi; Tina Fisher and Keith Cunningham; Pat Ingalls and Keith Martino; Michael Davis and Rochelle Gallagher; Roger White and Nancy Adams. Congratulations to our winners!
All enjoyed the morning and afternoon. The club members are looking forward to more competitive events in this upcoming cool season of play.
