Tennis
Only” Camp…A Great Success!
The tennis only camp held the week of July 19th-23rd, turned out to be a
fantastic week. Despite grueling heat and humidity, 15 juniors
ages 6-14 played their hearts out from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. each day.
Juniors learned rules, etiquette, sportsmanship, fundamentals, and most
importantly had a great time. Tim, Drew, and I would like to thank
everyone for coming out and making the week special. We look
forward to seeing everyone again real soon.
Highland’s
Junior Team To Take On Raleigh!
The Highland Country Club junior team will have a match with the N.C.
State Faculty Club juniors sometime in early August.

Wilmington, we will now look forward to our next inter club match.
The date and time is expected to be posted next week.
French
Open Segment Of Highland Grand Slam To Begin!
With the Australian Open segment of the Highland Grand Slam now in our
rear view mirror, it is time to move on to the French Open segment.
Thanks to those of you who attended the kick-off party, and gave us some
very valuable feedback. Once
our new assistant pro is in place, we will look to start the next
session and plan to contact players to see who is ready to get back at
it. The major difference
this time is the addition of singles, and mixed doubles, and your choice
to now choose which division, or combination of divisions you’d like
to play in (sounds confusing. but it’s not).
We will be contacting players to explain in more detail.
Babolat
Line In!
After negotiations with Babolat to be Fayetteville’s ultimate
purveyors of the Babolat line, we are now excited to announce that the
rest of our initial order of product is now in.
We are thrilled to introduce the Babolat line of tennis racquets,
strings, bags, shoes, over grips etc. to Highland.
We are very excited, as Babolat is an extremely popular brand
right now for both juniors and adults.
Look for some great opening prices as we look to establish
ourselves as one of the premier Babolat vendors in the region.
We will have a nice selection of demos for everyone to try, and
hope to have an event where we can showcase many of the items available.
