The Sun Lakes Tennis Club summer schedule exploded with social and competitive events in support of the active lifestyle of every member and resident. Whether you enjoy playing tennis or socializing with other members, there are numerous opportunities for you to enjoy! Members Sally Jo and Steve Schwartz manage Friday Night Lights and Michele Walter organizes World Cup Tennis, two of the club's highly successful monthly social events. Participants enjoy friendly competition that is focused on playing tennis with friends. We all know that when we have fun playing sports, we are more likely to remain involved in athletic programs that help us stay physically active and realize the positive effects for our body, brain, and self-worth. The emphasis is on enjoyment instead of winning. Each monthly event is followed by a potluck dinner that provides spectators and players with friendly company and delicious food. Contact Sally Jo Schwartz at sallyjo1955@gmail.com and Michele Walter at crystalwater@dc.rr. com for more information. The Sun Lakes USTA 55+ Men's 7.0 Tennis Team was undefeated after concluding its schedule of nine matches against other Inland Empire teams on Sun., June 30. Team captain, Bob Walter, said, "This season's outstanding winning record is due to the strength and depth of our Sun Lakes bench. While other teams may heavily rely upon a few players, our talent allowed me to flexibly form powerful doubles combinations resulting in consistently high team performance." Team members Daryl Barton, Brian Bostock, Kelly Curtis, Alan Lott, Jeff Mulqueen, David Nethercott, Stephen Rostoker, Steve Van Loon, Bob Walter (captain), Tom Whittington, and, Paul Yanez all contributed to the team's success. The team advances to the sectional competition on Sept. 20. Congratulations to the four mixed doubles teams participating in the Open Mixed Doubles tournament on June 29/30: Tammy/Dave Pronenko; Brandi Elliot/Bob Kutch; Scipia/Kelly Curtis; and, Michelle/ Pat Carter (withdrew).
