July Flowers

Some July flower pictures - much different than the flowers shown in the June update. Pictured-the summer phlox loving the dry weather (no fungus), the winter hardy red hibiscus and the echinops. All are around the garden by the clubhouse cafe.

Wear

The clubhouse court baseline has worn pretty well with all the play it has had. The grass courts have only been closed one day since June 6. Will we ever get a lasting rain? The top picture is from 7/26, second 7/17, third 7/19, fourth 7/20.









Busy

Lots of play. All 44 courts (grass and clay) being used all week.





Father/Son Championship Preparation

The Father and Son championship runs smoothly every year -thanks to Paul, Tony and Larry. Charlie rolling, the guys double marking. Nate is not happy with the painting of the court corners, so he is hand painting.
