Thanks for your cooperation.
Australian Open Segment Of Grand Slam
Nearing End
As of Sunday, March 9th, we have over 50 players participating in
the 2010 Highland Country Club Grand Slam social league.
The response has been overwhelming, as we have filled up the
men’s and women’s 4.0/4.5 division to an amazing 16 players each.
We are not far off from filling the 3.0/3.5 divisions soon.
If you are a 3.0 or 3.5 man or woman, and would like to get in on
this, please call us at 484-5061. Many
of you were concerned about the weather over the last month or so.
Do not worry, as all matches will get done, even if we have to
extend the session a week or two. If
you have any questions, feel free to call us at 484-5061.
Parent-Child Tournament Coming In March
March 20th is right around the corner, and that means
it’s time for Highland’s Parent-Child Tennis Tournament.
Last year, we had a fantastic turn out, and hope this year’s
event draws even more. Come
out and enjoy a fun-filled Saturday.
Parents and children will be grouped in flights determined by
ability. The event will start at 10:00 a.m. (weather permitting), and
run through the afternoon. There will be refreshments and snacks before, during, and
after play. Sign up now, or
call the pro shop. We look
forward to seeing you!
Golf/Tennis Challenge…Re-Scheduled For April 24th
The Golf/Tennis Challenge that we were hoping to have
unfortunately had to be re-scheduled for early next year.
Due to the busy schedule the golf side had, some inclement
weather, and our own very hectic winter, we just weren’t able to hold
the event. Both Jens and I feel that the event will be a great time for
everyone. As of now, the event is tentatively planned for Saturday,
April 24th.
Monday Ladies Clinic To Resume March 1st
The ladies clinic has slowed due to the temperatures and season, but
is still scheduled to resume on Monday March 1st, from
9:30-11:00. All levels are
welcome, so come on out and enjoy a great session of tennis. The price
remains the same at $8/person. Learn
new strokes, improve upon your existing strokes, work on strategy, and
participate in some fun, challenging games.
Please contact the pro shop ahead of time if you plan to come
out, as it helps Christy plan her agenda.
Cardio Tennis To Resume in March 2010
For those that came out to the early days of cardio tennis, we are
working to re-start the program. For
those that don’t know what cardio tennis is, here is a brief
description: Cardio tennis
is designed for players of all ages and abilities.
Normally an hour, cardio tennis is a non-competitive aerobic work
out where each participant looks to raise their heart rate to a
particular level. Then,
over the course of the hour, the student tries to maintain that level
while having a great time hitting lots of balls. Games and footwork
exercises are mixed in and voila!!! You get a great hour of fun and
fitness. The price is $8.
Tennis 101 Adult Beginners Clinic Offered On Wednesdays
Starting March 3rd, we will offer a Wednesday
9:30-10:30 a.m. beginning adult clinic. The first session is free
and players receive a complimentary box lunch.
This is an opportunity for beginners who would like to come out
and get started in the great sport of tennis… but need a little
nudging. After the first
session, your name will be placed in a special group e-mail and you will
be contacted Friday of each week for the upcoming session.
Clinic price is $8 per person. Anyone interested in coming out
must RSVP first.
Spring Junior Clinics To Officially Start March 9th
Since the weather has been so erratic, and many of our juniors
needed a break, we decided to re-start junior clinics on Tuesday, March
9thd. We will
again run the clinics for 6 week periods with sign-up sheets available
in the pro shop. Just like
last time, discounts will be given for multiple family members, and
incentives will be given to those who pre-register.
This looks to be a great year for the junior program, and Christy
and I look forward to talking to you all soon.
If your child is interested in playing during January and
February, you can come out for group or private lessons.
A
Battle Of The Sexes…In The Works?
There is some serious talks right now about organizing a Battle of the
Sexes tennis social at Highland.
The premise would be simple:
we put together a group of various levels of male players, and
put together a group of various levels of female players.
Mix in a little handicapping…and voila..the makings for a fun
day of tennis!
That’s all for now…
We look forward to seeing everyone on the court!
