Clay Court Prep

8000 nails later, clay courts 1-4 have their new lines in.

Early Opening

Early opening of the Route 9 clay courts - Dick Mount and John Gallagher were the first ones out to play. Dick and John were hitting them well despite the raw conditions. The courts are now open every day from 9am until dusk.

Clay Courts and Pork Sandwich

Finally finished resurfacing all 19 clay courts today - about 40 tons worth. The next step is to firm-up the courts in preparation for putting down new lines.

Pallets

Har Tru pallets going to the back of the property for storage until they are picked up for recycling - Nate and Neil admiring their unloading of the pallets.

To eliminate layering between underlying clay and topdressing, Nate is using a nail drag he made that is similar to ones used on major league baseball infields.
