Court Highlights

It’s been over a year since I last reported the court highlights. So much we have missed and everyone is dying to know. So here we go, I will start reporting them again! I will start slowly this week with only a couple of highlights. A Friday partygoer from Smokerise (?) brought a college buddy to the party. They rekindled at a wedding in Massachusetts and figured why not play tennis together again. They were quite a blast, bringing smiles to those on and off the court…

There’s a sub group within our group. It started out with 2 friends from Englewood who met up 3 summers ago and started playing together at the parties ever since. Like the “Wizard of Oz” last fall they picked up members along the way: player from Jersey City, then another also from Jersey City and finally one more from West Orange. The 5 play together, go out together and some of them even travel together. Tonight 3 more, from Hoboekn, Secaucus and West New York joined them and decided to stay on the same 2 courts for the rest of the evening. They said it was a lot of fun!

A player from Edgewater finally found sometime to play tonight – “…. my newborn baby absorbed pretty much all my tennis and sleeping hours. I am ready to continue my sleepless nights on Saturday, but this time joining your tennis event.” I put this young dad to play 2 hours of singles and he still had enough energy to play more, sleep or no sleep…
