Interclub Social Tennis

HEB Tennis Club is starting something new - Interclub tennis! This idea stemmed from our HEB teams playing in their USTA league matches. As our teams travelled from club to club, some of our opponents enjoyed their matches so much, they suggested getting together for "fun". We thought this was a good idea and have temporarily designated Wednesday evening from 6:00 until 7:30 PM for that purpose. We will be playing at HEB next week (Sept. 5th weather permitting) with four ladies from Piney Creek Tennis Club. Violet and Jenny were scheduled to play these ladies last week (and this week) but were rained out.

We are assuming Piney Creek Tennis Club will want us to travel to their club on alternate weeks, but since this concept is so new, we have not even discussed details.

To date, nine ladies have signed up for the interclub sessions. If you would like to be included, please call or email Liz Wallace - thanks!

HEB Senior "Pink" Team

HEB Senior "pink team" finished their league last night. We are glad to report that they (like their counterparts, the Super Senior team) are undefeated and will go to the District play-offs in September. We would love any members from HEB to come and cheer us on. Watch this space for details.

We had a great evening at the Pinery in Parker last night. The hosting team supplied lots of wonderful munchies and beverages. Recipes were exchanged especially the delicious cheese and onion dip. Jan scribbled the recipe down as quickly as she could - so hopefully she can share it with others.

The Pinery is located on Parker Road about 4 miles south of town. They have indoor and outdoor courts and a great pro shop. For more information contact: Pinery County Club Tennis Shop at 303-841-3512 or Double Angel Foundation at 303-841-2420.

First Senior Mixed Doubles at HEB

HEB now have a mixed doubles team playing in the USTA league. From left to right: Marlene, Tricia and Carol were the ladies contingent for the first mixed doubles match that was played last Sunday at HEB. Sorry guys – we didn’t get you in the photo!

It was a blisteringly hot day especially during the lunch time period when their match was scheduled. All three teams did well - but unfortunately we lost 2-1. There’s another match this weekend – so let’s wish them luck!

Thursday Practice

What a beautiful day for tennis! Even though the temperature soared today - we still had fun. We got three sets in as usual and then off for a spot of lunch. Good exercise, good friends and nice lunch, what more could anyone want?

Monday “Drop In” Tennis

This morning we had eight ladies attend our Monday “Drop-in” tennis session. We all defied the weather by turning up regardless of the forecast and enjoyed our matches.

Afterwards, we decided to have even more fun by getting a photo of the “Marine on duty” who was paying “attention” to our games (sorry – had to pun). He stood at the entrance to the golf tournament which was held at Heritage Eagle Bend today.
