On May 22, we had our quarterly meeting and a potluck. Due to the timing of this submission
to Lifestyles, a report from that meeting is not able to be included. Tennis Club members will be
informed as to decisions made immediately following the gathering. An anticipated schedule of
2021 Tennis Club activities and events is expected to be highlighted.
Phil Hazelton offers this tip that has to do with the serving motion. He says, "The serving motion
is just like the throwing motion. There ought to be a rotation of shoulders towards the opposite
court." Then, Phil adds, "Remember in doubles it's 'placement' over 'power' for best results." And,
"Always keep your eye the ball and the fun in your game."

Tai Chi (Tie-Chee) is an ancient Chinese tradition that, today,
is practiced as a graceful form of exercise. It involves a series of
movements performed in a slow, focused manner and accompanied
by deep breathing. Originally developed for self-defense, Tai Chi has
evolved into a graceful form of exercise that's now used for stress
reduction and a variety of other health conditions. Often described
as meditation in motion, Tai Chi promotes serenity through gentle,
flowing movements. The tradition of Tai Chi dates back to at least
the 15th century in China, and the practice is based on the belief that
balancing the opposite forces in the body (known as yin and yang)
will encourage the flow of chi (energy) through the body to promote
health. You may also find Tai Chi appealing because it's inexpensive
and requires no special equipment. Tai Chi can be done anywhere,
alone or in a group class. If you're looking for a way to reduce stress,
consider Tai Chi and join fellow Sun Lakers in developing strength in
balance, stamina, and flexibility. Info, Dee Coughtry, (951) 381-4919.
