FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | JULY 2025 67 "Your pizza delivered in 30 minutes or it's free!" What you get when it's 90 minutes late is just cold pies and hungry tennis players, at least for those who stayed. Our tennis colleagues at Sun Lakes hosted our Four Seasons Tennis Club members to an afternoon of friendly matches that paired up players from both communities in a rotation of mixed doubles matches. The plan was to follow up the games with pizza, salads and margaritas, but unfortunately, despite the availability of advanced GPS technology, the local pizza purveyor botched the delivery. By the time the pizzas arrived, the margaritas were drained and many of the attendees became departees from the party. Nonetheless, FSBTC participants greatly appreciated the gracious hosting of this inaugural event and look forward to reciprocating after we get through the summer heat. But we won't order pizzas. The club was scheduled to have another "Tiebreak Ten" tournament on Saturday, June 28. As the Wimbledon tennis championships in England were set to begin on June 30th, our plan was to incorporate the theme of that Grand Slam tournament, though we don't have the famous grass courts. The format was to be like the April event, but with only 20 players to make the rotations move a bit faster. A BBQ was planned for after the competition. The outcomes will be reported in the August edition of the Breeze. For many of us, The Courts are our second home here in Four Seasons. So, let's do our part to take good care of The Courts. For example, if you have trudged through the bushes looking for a ball, please make sure to knock the mud and dirt from your shoes before going back on the court. And who knows why those kinds of bushes and thorn-bearing roses were planted around The Courts! Also, remember to close the court gates when you've finished playing, because no matter how well or crappy you played, the coyotes like to poop on The Courts. Ick! Saturday FUNdamental drills and gentle coaching will start at 8:30 am on court 1. Regular last-Saturday-of-the-month Play Days will have sign-ins at 8 am and play beginning at 8:30 am during the summer months.
