Friday kicks off at 10:30AM with some great doubles matches in the Pro-Am as the Pros team up with Prince’s Court Whitney Cup players. Should be worth checking out. Click here for the Pro-Am schedule.
Then the real action starts at 3PM with our own beloved Phil Shannon taking on Newport’s Rich Smith. Followed by Head Professional Ivan Ronaldson trying to “back” into a win against Newport’s former head professional Josh Bainton.
The Cocktail Party (RSVP required) whets your whistle at 6PM with former Washington/NY professional Will Simonds taking on Newport’s senior professional Tony Hollins. Followed by a match that will you seeing red, as two redheads Philly’s Barney Tanfield and NY’s Andrew Fowler battle it out for the no doubt increasingly rowdy spectators.
This should be good.
Gimme 5!
The top Prince’s Court players are stacking up well against the rest of the U.S. clubs, as five of our members are in the most recent Top 25 List as released by the United States Court Tennis Association. Rich Moroscak is tied for 6th place, Bill Barker is tied for 12th place, John Motz is in 14th place followed by Brad Allen in 15th place, and rounding out the list is Kris Motz in 25th place. Not bad for a 12 year old club! The list comes out four times a year and you must be a USCTA member to appear on the list, so remember to pay your USCTA dues!
Season Opener – Oct. 22th
Princes Court will officially open the season with a Mix and Match social on the night of Oct. 22th.
We will also hold the League draft and draw the club tournaments.
Welcome back!
