| OHCC LIVING | NOVEMBER 2019 | 37 Racquet Club The state of the Racquet Club remains strong and is growing with 400 members. Earlier this fall OHCC dominated in the San Diego Senior Games held at Melba Bishop Park in Oceanside. There were different age categories and our own Fred Savage took the Gold Medal in the 75-80 age range for the Men's Singles having just hit the lower target. Larry See won the Silver Medal in the Men's Singles in the 70-74 age range. Those that had never seen pickleball singles realized what good skills you must have to play singles! In Men's Doubles we had David Levine and Richard Rogestad battling it out in the 60-64 age range to take home the Gold Medal! Craig Cameron and partner in the 65-69 age range played some terrific matches to win the Silver Medal in the Men's Doubles. David Levine also won the Bronze Medal with another partner in the Mixed Doubles. We were a leading force in the Senior Games and it was very exciting to watch the quality of play! Congratulations! Lorraine Novellino and Tami Pappapetru put on an enjoyable and smoothly run Ladeez Day Event for Tennis and Pickleball. There was a great turnout with a catered lunch afterwards. The winners for tennis were: 1st place – Patty Coffey and Mary Severson Pickleball winners were: Advanced: 1st Debbie Vail 2nd Karen Burke Intermediate: tie 1st Gerry Livsey and Angie Whissel 2nd Jan Balog Novice: 1st Fiona Geller 2nd Lee Gorman The final session of badminton ended in October. If you never got out to try this sport, you missed a lot of great exercise and entertainment. Gerry Livsey, Cliff Singh and Herb Livsey coached a returning and new group of players to learn the sport that is not what we remember from our summer days in the backyard! Everyone improved quite a bit this session! Paddle Tennis drop-in returns to Monday afternoons 2 to 4 pm at the HOA courts It was brought up that a new entrance to the HOA courts should be considered for safety and spectator viewing. Nick Novellino drew up sketches to show the possibilities of relocating the entrance. He is taking the plans to the CSC as this article goes to print. Looking ahead to 2020, members should mark their calendars for our Feb. 1, winter party and the Aug. 12, summer party.
