I'm always open to hitting. Are you going to bring a Jack Kramer Staff or a Donnay Borg? LOL

I'm like playing in the morning or after 6:30. I usually play at Cedar Park or Vista Ridge High School.

I think I had a Wilson Kramer back in the day!! lol. And I know I had a Stan Smith too!

Now I have a new nCode N4, feels like cheating the head is so huge compared to the old wooden racquets I started on!

How about 9 am on Sunday and Cedar Park High School. Hopefully the courts won't be too full.

Woohoo, I added the Tennis Channel to my cable package, and got VS network (Tour de France!) and Speed channel among others for just $3 more a month. Worth it for the tennis alone!

Would you bring your camera on Tuesday? I will bring mine, too, but I'd like some "action" shots of me! hehe

Jun 15, 2008

How about 8pm tonight? I am happy to travel to couurts near you, otherwise play at Hunters Chase?

Sorry, Perry. I won't be at tennis tonight, but take it easy on Rosemary! hehe. See you at Monday's event next week?

Jun 17, 2008
Perry H

Looks like I'm down until further notice. Not only did I pull a muscle in the right groin area, I pulled a calf too. Now it's healing time! I knew i should have rested after playing last night! Live and learn I guess.....

Jun 17, 2008

OUCHIE! RM said she thought you pulled something! Try loosening up with stretches...

I've had a 3rd degree high ankle sprain before from a bad landing on a running overhead. Stay off of it and let it heal. Tennis can wait.

Jun 18, 2008
Perry H

I agree. A day's sleep sure helped, both legs feel better but I'm going to give them through the weekend at least....maybe a slow short bike ride on Monday to see how the calf is loosening up..

Sarah Blaine

thanks for the info about monday night. see ya then.

Perry, I hope you are completely healed. Don't watcha to hurt yourself! Of course, if you play me and Rosemary, you are likely not going to have to hurl yourself toward the ball to hit it...or will you? muahahaha

Perry,
Sorry to miss tonight. I took two classes at the gym this afternoon and that wiped me out. I'll be in Houston next Monday but the one after, I'll appear. See ya.

Hi, Perry - you seemed to do well out of the court this evening! Glad a little injury couldn't hold you down. I'm totally up for some coaching! Lord knows I need it. I'll mention it to everyone else and take a poll! =) You Rock!

PS, you are only allowed to post gorgeous photos of me only (which probably means I won't be seeing any!).

Sarah Blaine

oh thanks for letting me know it's usually tuesday. i'll be back by then next week. i'll check the court times first.

Howdy! I'm looking for players in your rating range to casually hit and play matches with. If you have any free time, I would love to hit with you!

Jun 26, 2008
Perry H

Gary, I'm taking it easy, just hitting around some on Tues nights with the group that meets at Westlake, I pulled a groin last week and the bruising is really something else....going to the Doc today to have it checked out. Once I'm back to full speed I'd love to play some singles...

Jun 26, 2008

Thanks. Perry. My knee wasn't too bad, just felt like a little knee cap problem, but I feel okay this morning. I really appreciated your tips; I caught myself practicing what I learned and so many shots actually went where I wanted them to! Yay!

I was thinking last night, that sometime we should all get together to eat dinner sometime, either after play or on another date. Your thoughts?

tim dunvan

Aww, well, you were missed, but better to take care of yourself than to risk injury or further illness. I was worried.

Hi Perry!

The US Open is already here, so NOW is the time to come make your picks in the US Open Bracket Challenge sponsored by Avery Tennis.

Little known facts:
1. It's free.
2. It's fun.
3. The Grand Prize is a new Avery M3 Control racquet.
4. Do I need any more reasons?
5. It's more fun to follow the tourney when you have points at stake.
6. Bragging rights.
7. OK, I'm all out...

Come fill in your bracket, more info here.

I asked Rob, the admin for the tennis MeetUp group, to post the Tuesday & Thursday Westlake event over there as well--it might be an easier way for more folks to see who will be there.

Are you ready for some tennis? Let's revive the group in South Austin!
