Blue Skies!

The weather was absolutely gorgeous on Thursday - blue sky, slight breeze and the temperature was perfect! Six ladies turned out for our last Sign Up session, so we played some singles and doubles for almost two hours. Everyone really enjoyed the morning.

Don't forget that from now on...we meet on Monday and Thursday at 9:00 AM. Both days will be on a "Drop In" basis (no signup sheets until next Spring) - see you on court!

Mixer on Saturday 29th

Hi Everyone,

This is just a reminder about our End-Of-Summer Tennis Mixer & BBQ scheduled for this Saturday. The tennis is from 3:00 - 6:00 and is free. The BBQ follows the tennis and is from 6:00 - 8:00 on the patio at the Club House.

The BBQ is either $5.00 or $7.00 depending on what you order.

Please bring some lawn chairs so we have someplace to sit while sitting out.

We will play some Mixed, Men's & Ladies doubles.

There is still time to sign up, so if you haven't done so yet, please sign up on the Tennis Bulletin Board. Our Mixers are always a lot of fun, so we hope to see you there.

Drop In Tennis on Monday and Thursday

Hi Ladies,

Our Thursday tennis for tomorrow, September 27th will be our regular format, but starting next week our Monday and Thursday tennis will be drop in tennis.

Starting next week, (and continuing through the Fall) Monday and Thursday tennis will begin @ 9:00 a.m. and they will both be drop in tennis. Please bring your own balls and we will play whoever shows up.

I should be back in town next week and I look forward to playing tennis with you all. I've really missed playing these last couple of weeks. See you then.

Thursday Sign Up Session

Only four ladies turned up for tennis at our Thursday sign-up session yesterday: Tricia, Jenny, Nancy and Liz. We had a great time and the weather was absolutely beautiful! Let's hope there will be plenty of days where we can enjoy tennis well into the Fall season.

Don't forget to sign up for next week!

Social Tennis Evening

On Wednesday night this week, we had four visitors from Piney Creek Tennis Club who came for our very first social tennis evening. Even though the wind was brisk, we played for almost two and a half hours and had a lot of fun. The ladies from Piney Creek are quite competitive, in fact, the ladies from HEB felt as though they were playing a league match!

Next week, we are invited to Piney Creek on Tuesday night. Check in to see how we get on.

Tournament at Pinehurst Country Club

Left to right: Liz, Joann, Jan, Carol, Elinor, Violet and Jenny (kneeling).

The Super Senior "Pink" team took HEB Tennis Club to the district playoffs again this year. The tournament was played at the Pinehurst Country Club on September 11 and 12th. Although several of our regular players were on vacation, we had some great matches some of which went to tie breakers with scores of 10-8 and 13-11. We are glad to annouce that our team came in 2nd place.

Note: Several of our opponents said "Where is HEB anyway? We haven't heard of you before - how long have you had a team?" It's nice to be recognized by other tennis clubs and of course getting placed 2nd in the tournament. You know we will do our best to represent HEB again in 2008!

Monday Morning Time Change

Hi Ladies,

Due to the predicted cool weather forcast for the next couple of weeks, we will move our Monday tennis to 9:00 a.m. through the rest of the Fall. We'll begin our new starting time tomorrow (the 10th). Hopefully, everyone will read this message before then.

Also, concerning our Thursday tennis, we have used all of the tennis balls that we contributed toward for the summer. So, for the rest of the Fall, we will each just bring balls and take turns opening new balls each week.

Don't forget our Tennis Club meeting tomorrow, Monday the 10th, at 7:00 p.m. at the Club House. See you then.

Tournament at Inverness

Seen here left to right are: Jenny, Liz, Joann, Mo, Donna, Carol and Violet who made up the HEB Senior "Pink" team at the Athletic Club at Inverness Tournament. Unfortunately, we did not get through to the finals, but we did our best and represented our club to the fullest. Over and over again, our opponents said "You guys are such fun to play and so competitive..."

It was great to participate in the tournament against the best clubs in Colorado, especially Thornton Tennis Club which is regarded as one of the strongest clubs in the area. We took one match from them and took another to a tie breaker --We look forward to next year!

Senior Celebrate Going to Districts

The ladies from the Senior HEB Pink team celebrate their win a few weeks ago. This win, together with their win last week, takes them to the District Play Offs that begin on Sept 7th and continue through Sept. 9th. Well done ladies and good luck to you all!

Wednesday Night Tennis Social

We are glad to annouce that eleven ladies have signed up for the interclub tennis on Wednesday nights at 6:00 PM. Unfortunately, each time we've been scheduled to play the ladies from Piney Creek Tennis Club, we've been rained out.

We are tentively scheduled to play on Wednesday, Sept. 19th. The players who responded to Gail's initial email requesting interest in the Wednesday social tennis are: Violet, Joy, Jenny and Liz. The following week, on Sept. 26th, the next four ladies who signed up will be contacted to see if they want to play on that date, if they do not, we'll go on to the next in line and so on.

Liz has a list of all the players who have signed up for the interclub social tennis and she contact you via email to let you all know the details.
