Are there any tennis players among us who would like to form a group?

Johnny, are you thinking mixed doubles? I know a few TOTVers who play. Perhaps a special invitation would encourage more to reply. Gene? Karen?

Good morning JoJo, I was hoping you would reply. Yes. mixed doubles or not. Just a friendly group to play. I play ball on Monday, Thursday and Saturday but would be available all other days. If you could ask around we might be able to reserve our own court with enough members. What do you think?

Hi, my wife and I both play Tennis and would be interested in joining a TOTV group. She is a 3.5 and I can keep up with her but, don't tell her that I said that.

My husband and I both play. We brought our raquets although we usually spend more time playing golf when we're here in March.

Ok Beartrack, a 3.5 will keep us honest. Hi Linda, glad you are coming back. Why don't we try and get together. JoJo did you get any other players?

Unfortunately I'm on major travel status this month and next but I am here on weekends. No I haven't recruited but I'll send a couple e-mails.

Yes, Jo, please count me in. I doubt I can give you much of a challenge but I'' would surely enjoy the camaraderie....and mixed would be great!

Tkret, good to hear from you again. We do need a rematch. With the exception of this weekend and March 21-22, I have weekends available in March. I usually have to sub in any group because I can't do anything regularly and yes someday I will settle down. I like the round robin open play opportunities that we have here in TV but it would be fun to play with our fellow TOTVers.

Jojo we need to find GFMucci. He also is a player from Amelia. We have Tkret, Mr. & Mrs. Beartrack, Another Linda and hubby and me and you. What a group. How can we coordinate any of this?

We can't play on Saturday (golf) but Sunday at 1pm would work for us.

Thanks Jo ... please count me in for 1pm on Sunday at Odell. Is this available for someone who isn't anywhere as good as you on the tennis courts?? I may know of someone who would like to swing the racket.

I promise to drop the level of play to whatever you want. I never know from day to day. Always a surprise!! But when we play mixed doubles, my husband knows not to say a word. All I need to do is look at him. He knows.

We will be there. My wife can hold her own on a tennis court but, if any of you laugh at me, I'm taking my ball and going home.

I'm with you on that, beartrack...... we can leave at the same time. Watch that Jojo; she leads you on and then takes your money. She's not as timid as she lets you think!!

If Mr. 07 shows up tomorrow we will all be in for a rude awakening. (Hope to see you Nance.

How about all of us against Mr. 07 and Jojo?
jojo
03-15-2009, 07:32 AM
Let's get this clear up front. I am not even a 3.0 player. I just like to play - I'm not competitive. At home I played with a group that didn't keep score.
villages07
03-15-2009, 07:37 AM
and.... Mr 07 is just coming back from shoulder surgery.

So, yes, this is to be a fun and friendly tennis meetup....Johnny, I think you'll be the ringer in this group.

Okay, tkret and jojo, we really don't want to hear any more about what league you are in!! Seriously, it was fun, folks. thanks. And RCT, thanks for taking those pictures. We'll send them off to our son who has heard so much about TV and is anxious to come visit us when he gets back.
