On Friday, May 11
th, we got Mother’s Day weekend off on the right foot by holding the first Spring Women’s Doubles Tournament. From all accounts, this was a great day. Some comments included, “I had the BEST time,” “…so much fun,” “…so well run,” and my favorite "…had my best day at PTC yet” (from a somewhat new member). Many thanks to Gene Trainor, Angela Kwan and Lona for pulling this event together.
Pizza and Pro’s took place on Saturday, May 19
th – Pablo’s first one. It was a very well attended event. The adult clinic overflowed with at least 30 members, and the kids clinic was a success as well. The Exhibition on Court 1 featured our pro Pablo Alvarado, PTC teaching pro Stephanie Luk, guest pro Mariesue Jacutin, and reigning PTC Singles Champion Brian Heimbecker. Both Stephanie and Mariesue are former WTA players. We witnessed some excellent tennis!
