News

Good news and bad news…The surfacing of the courts was completed last night. The bad news is that when the net was being installed on court 1 a post dislodged from its mooring. Woody and I met with the contractor this morning and it will be repaired in the next couple of days. Court 2 is available for play. Will advise once court 1 is available.

Thank you to all the members who have referred new tennis enthusiasts to our Club. In the last five years, membership has grown steadily, almost doubling. This year the net growth is roughly 10%. One aspect of our Club that we value and wish to maintain is the ease of making court reservations, so we approach growth cautiously and see how court usage plays out each year–thus the importance of signing in at the courts.

We are closed to new members for 2024. Feel free to introduce people to our Club as guests and encourage possible future memberships.

I know everyone is super excited about the club opening and getting on the court. Unfortunately, it’s not in the cards for this weekend. The courts are just about scraped, new material will be added starting tomorrow, the lines on Sunday then nailed Monday. Dee and Scott do a really nice job setting up the surface they want do to it right and I’m sure you all want the same. Once I know the date of completion will send notification.

First off thanks to all that participated in the workday on Saturday. A lot of prep got completed and Scott’s job for laying the surface will be much easier this week. The new net posts are in, they look fantastic. The goal is to have the courts ready at the end of the week. Keep your fingers crossed the weather cooperates. As soon as I get the thumbs up on completion will drop a note to you all.

Now that the weather has turned in the past couple of days, I’m sure everyone is curious when the club will be open for the season. We are scheduled to have new net posts installed starting Wednesday the work was scheduled for earlier in the month, but persistent wet weather prevented the work getting started. In order for the posts to get installed the sprinklers and piping need to be removed for the installation. Scott is preparing the courts this week for the material application and based on all the moving pieces my best guess is the courts will be open early next week. While it is a bummer to lose this coming weekend the addition of new posts, nets and center straps will vastly improve the playing experience. Just think that second serve that just clips the top on the net on game point will now be going in.

As soon as I have an accurate date for opening will post as soon as possible.
