155th Post

Eighteen players today on a breezy, bright morning.  The nature of the courts are that the shaded ones are chilly on mornings like this but the sun shines on courts 1 and 2.  We are encouraging players to be onsite by 9:50 so that play can start at 10:00.  The courts are cleaned and tidied and the equipment is put in place, by fellow players, anytime after 9:30 so that the teams can be chosen and play can start by 10:00.
Mike is in pole position after week 3.  Six more weeks in this session and only best 6/9 of scores to count.
