Though it was a hot and humid morning on the courts, all courts were full for the Ladies Member-Guest Tournament & Luncheon on Saturday, August 7th. Great competition and fun tennis was had by all as we played our way to the final 2 teams. Deb Norton (Left) and her partner Maureen Shaffer (2nd from left) defeated Susan Campbell (Right) with her sister Linda as her partner, to be 2021 SYTC Member-Guest Campions! Congratulations to our 4 finalists! After tennis, we all enjoyed a well earned, delicious luncheon under the shade of the club awning. Great tennis, wonderful food, and lots of laughs made for a perfect Saturday morning on Cape Cod!

Summer Dinner Party & High Level Tennis Exhibition at Hit!

7/19/2021

 
Close to 90 members, spouses and guests attended a terrific late afternoon alfresco Summer Dinner Party and Tennis Exhibition at the South Yarmouth Tennis Club on Saturday, July 17th.  Exhibition Pros Patrick Wyeth, Max Francis, Aidan Roach and SYTC Head Pro Harry Cohen put on a match for the ages that was competitive and very entertaining. (See video above.) 
Thanks to Dennis Murphy's Parking Team, (Dennis, Al Hero and Brian Dagget) members dropped off their chairs and food and parked easily.  Our three reception volunteers did a great job welcoming and directing people to their seats. Thank you Patti Sakellis, Judy Sullivan and Mary Morrison!

Steve Francis did his usual best and he and Ken Huckins got the club in GREAT shape.  Steve introduced the players as only he can.   The exhibition was really fun to watch.  VERY high-quality play.   It was great to see our Head Pro, Harry Cohen, hit and to meet his very supportive parents, Steven and Lynda.


Thank goodness it was an 8-game pro set. (Typical for an exhibition.) Everyone loved the tennis but everyone was also ready for the main dinner by the time the XO was over. 


The tables were set and styled perfectly and the flowers were like artwork.   (Thank you 
Judy Link and Sue Carnathan.) 

The appetizers were delicious - as was all of the food thanks to Bob Levine 
- our "Food Czar."   The variety and quality of the salads was great - thanks to Pam Hero.  The main entrees were of terrific quality and cooked just right.  EVERYONE was commenting on how good everything tasted!  Thank you Team Leader Dave Holden and Team Members Al Hero, Bob Foley and Mario Sakellis. 

We called tables in groups for dinner, which was pretty orderly.  But, by the time the desserts were out, there was no holding people back.  Thirteen homemade desserts were offered thanks to Team Leader Cindy Noble and her deep team of chefs.  Janet Holden (Dave's wife) made her delicious and pretty homemade chocolate tennis racquet favors and she and Cindy delivered them to each table as the candles were lit - creating a beautiful ambience as things wound down. 


What a night!

SYTC's Summer Juniors Program Kicks Off

7/3/2021

 
Head Pro Harry Cohen puts kids through the paces in a fun footwork drill.
SYTC's Juniors Program got off to a great start on Monday June 28 with more than a dozen enthusiastic young players on the courts with Head Pro Harry Cohen and Assistant Pro Lindsay MacDonald. Scheduled to run eight weeks until late August, the program gives juniors ages 5-14 a great opportunity to learn tennis movement and stroke fundamentals in fun-filled clinics that run from 1-2 and 2-3 PM Monday through Friday. We’re especially pleased that our new collaboration with the Bass River Yacht Club is helping to boost the participation of young sailors who sail in the morning, then walk through the “tennis woods” for a great experience on the SYTC clay!  To date more than 50 participants have registered.  But, there's plenty of room for more.  ​Click here for more information and to register.

7/1/2021

 
Even though it was an extremely hot and humid day, SYTC hosted 24 ladies in a fun morning of tennis. These members were undaunted by the heat and played terrific matches in our first Ladies RR & Luncheon of the season. Steve Francis christened our new sound system by announcing the matches with a joke or 2 thrown in. After tennis, we all cooled down under the awning with cold drinks and an amazing array of luncheon selections made by all participants. All and all, a wonderful summer morning was enjoyed by everyone!  (Click on pix above to see larger.)

Cohen and the Panthers return to the court at Azusa Pacific on Wednesday.
