There was a huge tennis craze in the 70's. You had to "rack up" to get an outdoor court on the hour, and indoor courts had a waiting list for seasonal court times. We had Newcombe, Connors, Borg, Ashe, Nastase, Vilas, and late in the decade McEnroe. That time period influenced the way a lot of Villagers age people see tennis today. So when a developer touts recreation facility numbers golf courses and tennis courts are at their top.
