Hey Karl.  I'd like to hit with you but my availability is more like once a week (Fri/Sat/Sun).  Haven't played in several months and looking to get back to it a little.  Im probably at about a 3.0 but have been a 4.0 in the past.  Im next to the Golden Gate Park if that works but I can travel as well.  Let me know.  Ive never used this before so I assume you can send me an email?

John,

you'd be welcome to join us on Sat/ Sun mornings in East Naples. I'm not sure of our play level---we call ourselves 3.0-3.5, but I don't know if that's realistic or not.

One of our guys likes to start early, so we play at 8:00 am.

Karl,

we've been playing Sat/ Sun mornings (8:00!) for the past couple months at the East Naples park on Thomasson.

We're a bit older-58 through 64--so our wheels aren't what they once were, but we try to play competitively/ seriously.

Since there are generally three of us, we play Australian but an extra player would mean we could do a regular doubles match.

8.00AM would be a bit early for me on a weekend. I'll keep you guys in mind though if I'm unable to schedule in enough games throughout my week.

For TWO of us, it's also a bit early.  It makes sense to start early in summer to avoid some of the heat, but as Florida fall rolls in, that reasoning is less and less relevant.

Two of us would like to start at 9;00 or so....don't know if that's any more attractive or not.

We'd love to get at least one more player in the group.  Maybe even more.  So we'd be willing to be flexible to get more players---that applies to John & Karl or anyone else who might be looking for play.
