On one of the hottest days of the the summer on Cape Cod, twelve noble combatants took the courts of SYTC in a display of skill and good humor at the 2022 Woods & Whites mixed doubles tournament and cookout.  Tennis with a 65 square inch head wooden racquet (on average half the size of a modern racquet head) is an entirely different game than we are all used to playing today. Challenging, difficult, kinda fun, and very humbling. It requires back to tennis basics skills to hit the ball successfully. Event organizer Pam Hero notes... "As I watch and take photos, I see great improvement within 30 minutes of play with almost every player even if it doesn’t feel like it to the player. Still nice to get back to our modern racquets the next time we play!"   The food everyone brought was terrific, as usual. And, GrillMaster Al Hero always serves up great burgers, dogs and brats! 

After the exhibition, club members got a chance to try and return serves from Head Pro, Harry Cohen.  Many tried..., and some even got the ball back over the net!   See pics below. ​

​Truly a “blast from the past” at SYTC on Saturday, August 14th! Wood racquets and tennis whites ruled our courts for a competitive, amusing, and very entertaining Round Robin. 16 players met the challenge well of wood racquet play and had a great time on our courts. Afterwards, their efforts were rewarded with a terrific evening cookout with all the trimmings. SYTC provided the burgers, dogs, and sausages cooked to perfection by our very own Grill Master Al Hero. Players, members, and guests provided an amazing array of delicious appetizers, salads, side dishes, and desserts. Our group of 25+ dinners shared a late afternoon/evening of fun tennis, entertainment, a tasty dinner, lots of laughs, and lively conversation. A great time was had by all!
