Just checked out Windward and although some of the courts are a wee bit damp, we feel they will dry by 9:00 a.m. Heading to Lifetime now, Courts at Lifetime should be dry since they were dry when we left last night and there has not been any rain. Will update you again at 8:00 a.m.

FRIDAY, 4:20 P.M. UPDATE
The courts are still dry at Lifetime so all matches are on as scheduled. The 6 Boys 14s matches will still go to St. Ives Country Club. All other matches that were scheduled at Windward are being moved to Hudlow because it rained at Windward just enough again to make the courts unplayable.
