June Flowers Begin

Grass Courts Clubhouse - 12

Jeff and Neil pounded holes for the net posts on 7 courts today (all courts are now done). Below Tim is taking a crack at it - for two reasons. One to take credit for all the hard work the other two guys did and two, he was banned from using sledge hammers back in 1999. This was due to him braking a sledge hammer handle. I lifted the ban today, so he jumped right in! Also a picture of Neil and Jeff dancing together.
