The highlight of yesterday’s USTA 3.0 match was the surprise visit by captain Catherine Taaffe. She came to support her team, despite recovering from her recent medical procedures. Cath looked great and it was such a treat to see her at PRC again. Many PRC captains have demonstrated such dedication this year, some while experiencing…
Participants of the spring USTA League have welcomed the best weather ever (in April) and great competition. This season, the scoring will be points by position. Therefore, points will accumulate throughout the season rather than a win or loss for each match. Standings can change quickly throughout the season. The men’s teams start this weekend. Let’s…
A very unpredictable weather system caused a steady rain to fall on participants of the Monday match play and one court of the USTA 3.0 team match. The players competed on clay. One of the many benefits of the clay courts, is that play can continue during wet/rainy conditions as the footing is not dangerous. Therefore, the…
The first Fed Cup of the spring season was a huge success on a beautiful morning today. Twenty four women competed on four teams. Congratulations to the the Tulips, who earned 172 points and won by 1 point over the Bunnies – proving the motto of Fed Cup, “every point counts”. Match play will be…
The courts were occupied all morning, with players from contracts, some USTA matches and Friday match play. Conditions were perfect – inside and out!
Three of the the four players that participated in the singles match play this morning were lefties. Judy had the players rotate. Can you imagine being a right handed player (Pat) and then having to play 3 different lefties on the same morning?
Members of the Thursday 9:30 am clinic had their last drill for the winter session yesterday. They “decided” to drill outside and demonstrated their mental toughness in cloudy, windy, cool (some may say very cold) conditions. Good focus and effort – all with smiles.
This morning at 8 am, four of the five players who arrived were lefties. Often lefties enjoy playing opponents who don’t realize that they are playing a left handed player until late or never in a match. It’s always fun to ask a lefty if they realize that they were playing a lefty!
The Wednesday/Thursday group drilled and then celebrated Kathy and Joyce’s birthdays today. Best wishes to Kathy, Joyce and our other PRC members who enjoy April birthdays.
Tuesday was a perfect day for the first match of the USTA 3.5 40 and over league. The PRC Slice Girls and Volley Girls competed outside under sunny skies with very little breeze.
