Preparing for tonight's Boston Pro Tennis League matches. Which is sharper - Tim on the new tractor or Nate mowing with his shirt off?
A comment on wear. The grass courts have been getting a lot of play with a number of tournaments, camp and general play. It has not rained in over a month, so they are open every day and the recent heat wave has really stressed the grass. Despite all of this, the courts are showing little signs of wear (picture of clubhouse court baseline below). This is 100% due to the care taken by the entire grounds crew in maintaining the courts. Irrigation, mowing, fertilization - everyone has been doing an outstanding job! Thanks to the crew!

Agreed on the condition of the courts - they are in great shape.

Only Tim should be allowed to work without a shirt - and only when he's on the Rte 9 courts.

Nice tractor - maybe we can have a tractor pulling contest to finish out the year!.
