With the cancellations of the BNP Paribas Open and Wimbledon this year, I am sure a lot of us tennis enthusiasts are bummed. And now, even the 2020 Summer Olympic games have been postponed to 2021. Who knows what might happen to the rest of the Grand Slams this year? With this current mandatory stay-at-home order, we may find ourselves sitting home all summer long binge-watching reruns of "The Old and The Restless." The good news is this order could be a blessing in disguise. Why? Perhaps we could all use some down time to give our tired, achy, old bones and joints a much-needed rest. After all, I am reasonably sure none of us tennis nuts are in our twenties any longer. Our poor body can only take so much abuse on the courts. But who knows, when this virus thingy finally dies down and we get back out on the courts, we might feel so rested and energetic that we'll be running around like we're in our twenties again. (Ha, fat chance!) On a more serious note, both our USTA teams – Men's Doubles 7.0 and Mixed Doubles 7.0 Combo – were able to finish the league play in the nick of time, just before COVID-19 hit. Even though neither team brought home the championship trophy or a million- dollar prize, all team members had a great time playing and meeting players from other clubs. Additionally, new USTA teams are currently being formed for upcoming leagues. If you are interested in joining one of these teams, or you just want to know more details, please feel free to contact us. Meanwhile, let's all do our part to keep ourselves and Four Seasons safe and coronavirus free. Take a walk with your significant other or by yourself. Take your dog for a walk. Or, as in my household, our dog takes us for a walk. And if you are so inclined, go skateboarding down Four Seasons Circle (Ouch! But seriously, PLEASE DON'T!). In any case, the key is to keep active, stay healthy and be safe. Together, we will beat this unwelcome and invisible enemy!
