August 20th was a great day for Sunday Morning Mixed Doubles! We again filled all six courts for three rotations of fun-filled tennis and, for the first time ever, had an even mix of men and women. We then caravanned to Dennisport for a delicious brunch hosted by Pat and Mario Sakellis on their lovely deck overlooking the Swan River. Fun tennis followed by a gathering of friends in a beautiful setting – what could be better?

It could not have been any better weather for yesterday's Summer Dinner Party & Tennis Exhibition at the South Yarmouth Tennis Club. The semi-annual event attracted more than 100 attendees including some of Cape Cod's tennis royalty. (See pix below.) SYTC Pros Harry Cohen (pictured above coiling to serve) and Nik Ginter put on a show along with Cape Cod favorites Nick Majewski (son of Bob Majewski, Mid Cape Athletic Club owner) and Patrick Wyeth. Special thanks to Club Manager, Steve Francis, who recruited this top notch group of Exhibition Pros. Many members commented that this was the best tennis exhibition they had ever witnessed. More than 40 members volunteered to lead teams including setup/breakdown, grille, check-in, parking, desserts, food acquistion, appetizers, flowers and more. And, many others made apps and desserts. It takes a team effort to make a BIG event like this work, and as a "members club" SYTC members know that and always come through in style! There are so many people to thank that we will surely miss someone by listing them here, so let it be known that all of your contributions to this effort were greatly appreciated.
On July 27 th , 12 teams of SYTC ladies and their guests took to the courts for some fun-filled competition
followed by a delicious luncheon prepared by our members. Non-member friends and relatives as well as members who joined the club this season qualified as “guests” for this event. A five-rotation round robin culminated in a highly entertaining best-of-five game “final” played between the two highest scoring teams of Alex Scopeletis and guest Lisa DiMarzio, and Sarah Thompson and 2023 new member Liz Anderson. Alex and Lisa just edged out the win, and all four finalists received small tennis-themed prizes. Many thanks to Events Committee members Pam Hero and Sarah Churchill Silberman for taking the lead on organizing this very enjoyable morning, and to Events Director Ellen Coffey and committee members Marilou Barsam, Maureen Lambe and Cathy Spahr for pitching in to assist them! On Saturday, August 5th, 3 courts of SYTC players dressed in smart tennis whites, enjoyed a late afternoon match using old fashioned wood racquets. All players quickly adjusted to the classic racquets for a fun and highly competitive Round Robin. After the rousing games, we all enjoyed a delectable cookout with chef Al Hero christening our clubs’ new gas grill cooking burgers, dogs, and Italian sausages. All members brought tasty appetizers, sides, and desserts to round out the feast. Great tennis, lots of laughs, and wonderful food made for a memorable summer evening for all. A big thank you to Pam Hero and her co-chair Sarah Silberman, Maureen Lambe, Patty Sakellis, Ellen Coffey and Alan Hero for all their time and efforts. Thank you to all our members and their guests who participated in the fun event!
