Typical Early Morning





June 24, 2008




A typical early morning. All the clay courts are ready to go with some open at 6:30 am. All the grass courts are cut and sprayed with fertilizer before any members arrive.
A new sidewalk is also being installed on Dunster Road.

HEAT!




It is Monday June 9, 2008 and we are in the third day of a Massachusetts heat wave - 3 consecutive days over 90!



At Longwood we are all dealing with it different ways.




Charlie is taking care of the grass with precise watering. On 95 degree days this means hand watering pretty much all day.













Tim and Andrew taking a leisurely 6 hour walk, marking the courts. Notice Tim's built in cup holder on the marker handle.











And Magnus. The hotter it gets, the more tennis clothes he puts on!
