JANUARY 12 - 13, 2008 TOURNAMENT - MIXED DOUBLES

The next tournament will be the weekend of January 12 - 13, 2008. We are now in the middle of the season, so it is a good idea to make reservations early. If nothing can be found, call Jef or Kathy at 760-767-4536. If you are planning to play, you must sign up by 7:30 p.m. on the eve of the tournament. Sign-up at the clubhouse, or contact Jef or Kathy: phone 760-767-4536, e-mail: jef@znet.com, or if all else fails, call the tennis center at 760-767-0577 the Friday night before the tournament (definitely before 8 p.m.). The draw will be completed by around 9:00 P.M. and play will begin on Saturday at 8:00 a.m. If you want us to call you with the start time, add your phone number with your name when you sign up. Also, if you are just joining the club, please provide contact information, preferably an e-mail address, if you wish to receive a newsletter, and if you want to be listed in the club's directory. If you want to share and consume goodies, there will be a Goody Bar in the clubhouse on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

SATURDAY POTLUCK

The happy hour/potluck will occur 6:30/7 p.m., Saturday night, January 12, 2007, at the tennis center. If you want to contribute to the door prizes, remember to place them in the door prize area before dinner.

BORREGO NEWS

A series of storms have been hitting California this winter, including a big one this weekend (Jan 4 - 7, 2008). Although we expect some rain, the Granger tournament will probably be completed, despite some possible rain delays. Hopefully, we will be spared from any more rain the following weekend. Although, it is looking like a much better flower season is in the offing. Also, we are experiencing below average temperatures, including a hard freeze last month. Expect highs in the mid-60s for this tournament.

TRAILERS FOR RENT AT CLUB

Sandi and Borden said they have 2 trailers available to rent at the club. Contact them if you are interested.

DECEMBER 2007 TOURNAMENT

We had a heavy of 49 contestants (25 men, 24 women) for what was predicted to be a rainy weekend. Despite a few random specks of rain on Saturday, it proved to be perfect for tennis. It was sunny with scattered clouds and rainbows. That night, however, some rain did hit the club, but after some work, the courts were ready for play at 8 a.m. However, a blast of rain hit the club at that time, and play was delayed for a few hours -- long enough to cancel the rest of the tournament. As there were no clear winners, the following table shows who was still in it (blue background), and who was undefeated (bold-face).
