Tennis Survey Results

Hello members,

Thanksgiving was a week ago and maybe some of you are like me, still trying to burn those last few calories… Well, lucky for us Mother Nature is on our side and it looks like there will be plenty of chances to hit the courts in the next few weeks. With the holidays in full throttle and everyone’s schedule being hectic, let me remind you of a few things happening in the La Madrona tennis world. From now until December 10th, it is the time to register our USTA 40&Over teams and also our Mixed 55&Over teams. If you are interested in captaining a team, now is the time to let me know. Coming up on December 9th and 10th are our Club Championships’ semi-finals and finals. If you have not participated in the club championship but would like to attend our finals day on December 10th, you can join us for a great day of tennis, food and prizes for only $15. Just let me know and I will add you to our list of attendees.
A few weeks ago, we sent everyone a tennis survey and I want to thank each and every one of you that took a few minutes out of your busy schedule to fill it out and give us some constructive comments and suggestions. I will reach out to those of you that have asked for a personal in the next few days. From all of your suggestions, here’s a brief list of things you can expect from the tennis department in 2018:

Acquire new squeegee and involve our staff in helping with the drying process when possible
Court cleaning will be schedule every 3 weeks on Fridays between 1130am-330pm
Special water bottle fillers will be installed on our fountains
A monthly social event for all levels will be held
A monthly drop in/social for 4.0+ level players
Additional tennis clinics;

o Thursday 4.0+ Live Ball
o And more to come
Better our beginner outreach with;
o Beginner clinics
o Beginner lesson package

Update and improve our communication processes

As you can see, we care about your interests in our tennis department. We received many more comments and suggestions and will keep everyone of them in mind for the future. If you feel that we may have omitted one that needs immediate attention, feel free to stop by and talk to me directly.

Finally, BLACK FRIDAY was a hit! Thanks to everyone who purchased balls or lessons. We appreciate it.

As always, my door is open if you have any questions, comments or suggestions.

I will see you all on the courts
Cheers
Fred
