TENNIS JULY 2026

A BUSY START TO THE 2026 TENNIS SEASON: Cooler-than usual temperatures made for a slow start in May, but since June 1, activity on the courts has picked up with busy doubles play in both the mornings and afternoons. Heather has been leading lessons and clinics with support from our new tennis assistants and shop attendants—Laura and Lydia Holland and Maci Stork—and are often on the courts with both junior and adult members early in the day and throughout the afternoon. We’ve added a Thursday afternoon tennis session at 1:30 p.m. for more experienced men and women players who wish to play singles and doubles. Thank you again for our new tennis shed as it has quickly become an important part of daily operations, offering convenient storage and protection for both new and used tennis balls, as well as space for tools and court water containers.

THE WELCOME HOME / NEW TENNIS MEMBER MIXER

The Welcome Home and New Tennis Member Mixer and luncheon on June 5 marked our first major event of the 2026 tennis season and drew a large crowd. More than 20 players joined the social mixer, creating a lively turnout. Afterward, members enjoyed a French-themed luncheon and a tennis clothing trunk show featuring designer clothing while watching the French Open on the Tennis Shop television. Special thanks to Jessica Spaulding and her team, along with tennis committee members Camille Collier and Pam Burge, for helping make this French Open-themed event such a success.
