USTA F/S

Sunrise this morning - the crew arrived early to prepare the courts for the 2012 USTA National Father/Son Grass Court Championship.
Neil marking the courts with one shoe on.  They taught him this at Roxbury Latin.
The players gathered on the porch for their court assignments and rules.
The last picture is of the lads marking the lines this morning.  4 markers, 25 courts, well done!  Notice special guest line marker Stephen Dean of England and the Agawam Hunt Club.

Great pics Mike - the courts are in amazing shape and the lads are getting huge kudos from the players.

I need to speak with you briefly tomorrow about getting some club pictures for the new 135th history book.

RL taught Neil to have no shoes on while in his extended adolescence.

Jeff looks angry and isolated. I wonder who and what he is mad at/about?
It looks like he is making the enjoyable task of court marking into a difficult combative activity.
He is he only crew member to get mad at Neil!

I enjoyed being back with the lads at Longwood and was glad to help. Thanks Mike!

Tim - I had the pleasure of marking the courts with Jeff that morning. I must say I was very impressed with the way Jeff conducted himself,he has come along way since the summer of 2010!

I on the other hand still have a long way to go ...
