Thanks to everyone for making it another great tournament at Healy Point. Our next tournament is April 19 and we hope you will all come back and play then. It was indeed a beautiful weekend with fantastic tennis!

We have been notified that construction on I-75 is causing significant congestion, especially around the Arkwright Rd underpass. Please plan accordingly and allow extra time to get to Healy Point. Riverside Drive (Hwy 23/87) is an alternate route for many of you.

We will have a cookout for tennis players on Saturday between 12 noon and 2:30 pm. We'll serve hamburgers, grilled chicken, hot dogs served with chips and soft drinks on the lawn adjacent to the tennis shop. The cost is $7 inclusive (cash preferred, credit or member charge OK). The Grill will likely be busy with golfers and members on this beautiful weekend. We hope you'll enjoy this luncheon away from the crowd next door.

Banana Daiquiris
