February 22 Ice Breaker

With a history of this being a maybe it will work event, or maybe we will get rained out, this year’s Ice Breaker was a smashing success.  It turned out to be a glorious day of warm sunny weather.  Yes, we all had to take off our extra layers and get down to our good old tennis wear.  It was too warm for sweats!

There was some rusty playing, but with time all the players got a bit better, serves and shots started to go in and some pretty decent tennis was played.

Our format was chosen to keep us all moving and to minimize bye time.  We had a group of 11 players (one unfortunately did not show up). Each round was played with 6 no ad games and a sudden death one point tie breaker as needed.  We even had a little bonus of a free serve if needed (one per round) to keep our hopes high in winning our game. After all this was the Ice Breaker, the event to get back into our games after a bit of winter hibernation.

Some donuts and good conversation rounded out the day and a big thank you to all that showed up on time and participated.

Please watch out for our next event in March.
