TENNIS NEWS



Construction continues at the Racquet Club! The temporary trailer is now fully operational and is housing all day to day tennis activity during the transition to our new facility. It is located to the right of the existing parking lot entrance and will serve as the check in point for all play. During the transition we will have basic tennis necessities available; tennis balls, sodas, sunscreen, bug spray, as well as towels, cups and coffee. Racquet stringing services will also be available without interruption.
The existing parking lot has been divided into two areas. When you enter the parking lot the marked area to the right is restricted only for construction traffic. Heavy equipment and trucks will be using this designated area. The left area of the parking lot is reserved for member use. Signage and diagrams are posted throughout the facility to assist members not only for parking in designated areas, but also for our established routes to the courts. For safety reasons, we request that all members follow these designated routes to and from play. For convenience, bike racks have been relocated to the parking lot area adjacent to the check in trailer. We recommend all bike traffic to the Racquet Club use the Long Bend drive entrance (same as car entrance) which will lead you directly to the check in trailer. Direct paths from the old bike rack location to the trailer have be blocked during the construction phase.
We do not anticipate court reservations, programs and normal play to be affected during the transition, with the exception of a little construction noise along the way. We appreciate your patience and cooperation through the transition and remain committed to delivering the best possible tennis experience.
Communicating with the Tennis department. Our old phone numbers (Pro Shop768-7543 and Mike Kiser direct office768-7810) are now operational and all email accounts and internet connections are now operational. Again, we thank you for your patience during the transition.

For the first time at the same time, our two major golf organizations at Seabrook join up to play their fall member-member tournaments. There will be a separate competition for both gentlemen and ladies but we'll play them at the same time on the same course. Then we'll come together for dinner Friday evening and again at the awards luncheon following play Saturday.

Both the MGA and SILGA will play four (4) different formats during the tournament including Four-Ball Stroke Play, Two-Ball Shamble, Captain's Choice Scramble and Modified Alternate shot. Prizes will be awarded for each nine hole competition as well as overall. The entry fee is $60 per player for gentlemen and $50 pp for ladies plus carts and includes dinner Friday, the awards luncheon on Saturday and prizes. Non-playing Spouses are invited and encouraged to attend both social functions and their meal(s) will be charged separately.
