TENNIS SKILLS AND
THRILLS!
FROM THE COURTS:
Sunshine
and warmer temperatures indicate that the outdoor tennis season is upon
us. There are plenty of activities planned at the tennis courts this
summer. On Monday, May 26, Memorial Day, there will be a Tennis Mixer
from 9-10:30. All levels of experience are welcome. Come on out and
play. Wednesday, May 28, 6-8 pm will be the first Skills &
Thrills event. Keith King will be the guest pro on the 28th. The first hour pro’s will
organize drills, court games, and give you tips on your game. The
second
hour pro’s will organize Round Robin play. There is a $10 fee. The Junior
Kick Off Camp will begin on June 17.
If you cannot make each day, just let us know which days you are
able to attend. Check the tennis program mailing for details.
The
clay hydro courts have been reconditioned, lined, and will be
ready for play by Memorial Day. If you have not played on them, please
come out and give them a try. They are among the best clay courts in
all of Michigan.
We
have a new phone at the tennis courts: 734-775-0835.
TENNIS COURT REMINDERS:
·
Guest fees, $9
·
No denim or swimwear
·
Tennis shoes are strongly recommended. Jogging shoes mark the
hard courts and cause divots on the clay courts.
·
Courts are open daily through daylight hours.
Check
in with the attendant when you arrive.
Looking
forward to seeing everyone on the courts soon,
John
