Conditions...what Conditions?

There are only two things that stop HEB tennis players from getting on the court  -- extreme cold, and snow/wet conditions. Although the temperature was barely 50 degrees on Saturday, four ladies still turned out to play some good tennis. Warm up pants and jackets were shedded during the match. Never let it be said our ladies aren't tough cookies!

Mini Tournament at Heritage Hills

L to R: Anita and Liz

The weather was absolutely gorgeous yesterday with temperatures close to 80 degrees F. Two members of Heritage Eagle Bend tennis took advantage of the good weather, and participated in a mini tourney at Heritage Hills (located at Lonetree.) Competition was high, but the ladies were friendly and fun to play. Anita and Liz played a close match, won the tie-breaker, and therefore move forward. Since the weather is about to change tomorrow (probably by 50 degrees) some matches will have to be played indoors. The tourney will end in a lunch at Heritage Hills.

Rare Photograph Indeed!

The men do play tennis at Heritage Eagle Bend. They can be found playing on Tuesday and Saturday mornings, but it is rare indeed to get a photograph. For instance, I had to sneak up on them after they'd finished their matches on Saturday, and almost begged them to stand still for just one moment. Even then, they were gumbling, "Do we have to......" still, I got my shot.

Blustery Day

Four ladies turned up for tennis on Thursday drop-in yesterday. It was a typical fall morning, bright sun, blue sky, but a strong wind that brought snow to the mountains. Still, those who turned out got some exercise and fun chasing the ball.
