5HIT -- Nov 18, 2006

What a beautiful day for tennis. The overcast sky cleared even before we finished our first round. Larry was playing a 7.0 league match in Napa today so Bob F took his place. Tina played with us for the first time; Harry came with his dog to watch us play and he joined us later for refreshments. The courts were loaded as Donna's 8.0 team showed up during RAT to play a home match against Napa. Larry Cochran was there playing in John's group (two cops, a judge and an underwriter). Steve Lee also showed up with a guest and they played on Court 3 when the 5hit group finished.

RAT

As usual, the ladies brought lots of goodies. There were plenty of assorted drinks to compliment the spread. Everybody seemed to like Tina's mango bars because they were gone at no time.

COURT THREE DRAMA

Steve Lee got pretty upset that a staff member approached him while hitting with his friend to question him about the legality of his guest. It turned out that Steve had either paid the guest fee or presented a guest pass (not sure which) for his friend before they came to the courts. Steve and his friend cut short their tennis and left.
