Sunday August 25th was a beautiful afternoon for a three-rotation Mixed Doubles round robin using all six SYTC courts. Tennis started at 3:30 pm, and by 5:30 players had worked up an appetite for dinner. We enjoyed pizza (including a gluten free option) as well as potluck salads and desserts. Beer and wine (BYOB) and soft drinks rounded out the menu for a relaxing evening on the club patio for players and guests. Attendees were enthusiastic in their support for repeating this event next season. It was a winner! On August 11th, one of the best weather days of the Summer, all six courts were filled once again with our “Second Sunday” faithful for a fun-filled round robin. After tennis, we caravanned to the beautiful home of Jackie Carnevali for a delicious potluck brunch overlooking the Bass River. Sunny skies, low humidity, delicious food and the company of good friends combined for a picture-perfect Sunday gathering. We also enjoyed welcoming new members Bob Donovan and Byron Garcia to the fold. Thank you so much, Jackie, for helping to keep our member-hosted brunch tradition alive and well at SYTC!
Hot and steamy weather did not deter 14 enthusiastic players from trying their luck at old fashioned wood racquet tennis on Saturday afternoon, August 3rd. It was a blast from the past, when wood racquets with small sweet spots were the norm. Before long, everyone adjusted to the vintage equipment and the result was an entertaining four-court round robin with lots of laughs. After tennis, players were rewarded with an amazing cookout organized by Pam and “Grill Master” Al Hero including delicious potluck sides, salads and desserts. Several partners and guests joined for dinner, completing another successful social gathering at SYTC.
