Hi Dennis,

Want to let you know that everything is great here in Park City.  The club is gorgeous!  The programs are building and growing.

We have nearly 160 kids in our lesson programs.

Helaine and Phelan are great, Phelan is playing with me 3 times a week and we are getting to ski a couple afternoons each week as well.

All in all, we miss out Hilton Head (Island) friends, but loving our life in Park City…

Please include this e-mail for e-tennis news.  Love to keep up with Pro League and Billy Bob!!

All my best!

     Intercollegiate Spring Break Team Schedule -- First Full Week Completing Play; Second To Come

        HILTON HEAD ISLAND SC (TENNIS E-News) -- The annual influx of college tennis teams wraps up its first full week Saturday as Week Two teams begin arriving to keep HHI area courts very busy -- especially on hard courts. Two exhibitions were played Monday and more will be scheduled for this coming Monday at 5:30 p.m. All matches and exhibitions are open free to spectators.

    What was started in the mid-1980s by Tennisaction Hilton Head Island has evolved into two separate Spring Break entities -- one headquartered at HHI Beach & Tennis Resort and the second at the Professional Tennis Registry headquarters in Van Der Meer Shipyard Racquet Club.

    Each team match consists of six singles and three doubles. The format varies depending on the college's NCAA division and the number of courts available at the individual match sites. Given the general format, the 42 team dual matches set for Monday will involved 252 singles matches and 126 doubles. Yes, that's 378 matches just on Monday. Here are the matches set for this week. 

 

    This composite schedule has been culled from websites of Spring Break Tennis (www.springbreaktennis.com) and

Spring TennisFest (www.springtennisfest.com). Schedules and sites are subject to late changes. Go to websites for more information.
