LAST WEEK'S RECAP
It was a popular idea this weekend for friends to come with a friend. There were many cross-overs from one day to another and many two timers who play two nights.

Friday
A player from Montville brought a friend from West Orange. Another player from Franklin Lakes brought a friend from Wayne and continued their girls' night out after tennis at an undisclosed location.

An unusually large number of NYC players attended. Two buddies from NYC came to play on a whim and were the last ones standing on the court at 1am! It was great seeing these former high school buddies hanging out. Other players from NYC would also be playing twice this weekend.

Two 15-year-olds and a 12 and 1/2 year-old from the Livingston and Wayne area attended the party. The kids were looking mighty fine, playing great tennis and entertaining the adults who were watching during their off hour. In place of the 15 yo's coach this week were some fine adult players for each hour, who seemed to enjoy their time with them.

Other newcomers include players from Verona and Newark. They all seemed to enjoy their first time, judging from the smiles and their laid back style in the lounge, not sure if it was from exhaustion after 3-4 hours of tennis.

Saturday
A player from Summit was so excited to return with a friend, after his first visit last week. He later called saying - It's Valentine's Day. I asked if he brought his wife flowers this morning. He replied - Yes, but she still wants to spend time with me. He sounded very sad and disappointed but he did a good thing.

A player from NYC introduced a couple to our party. The couple met other couples, also from NYC and from Yonkers. They all had a nice time playing tennis and meeting different people. There were other date couples as well, one from Bardonia.

A player from Montville brought a USTA teammate from North Arlington to practice playing as partners for their upcoming season. They are not used to staying up and playing tennis so late.

The Riverdale players were back for some good fun and brought along their former pro-level player from Astoria. Isn't tennis such a great sport to keep friends in touch. Their good USTA friend from Rahwah must have also heard about it that she joined us as well. She put on a nice show, as if we were watching Serena play at the Binghamton Open!

Sunday
While our Aaron Krickstein former hitting partner is nearing the end of her 2-month coast guard duty at McMurdo Station, on the edge of the continent at the base of Mt Erebus, Antartica, her son attended the party before driving over an hour home to Schenectady. It was great seeing him, reminding us of his wonderful and well-rounded mom!

A Sunday regular from Hackensack had been busy on business trips but came back with his buddy from Livingston. He was looking forward to playing with the Human Backboards, only half a Backboard was there, which is better than no Backboard. The other Half was away with his wife for Valentine's.

One Sunday regular from North Haledon signed up, specifying that he - Intends to play at least 4 hours. Two other players signed up for 5 hours. The two did play 5 hours, while many played 4 hours - Kudos to them all for playing marathon tennis!

Please call or email me to make reservations.

Look forward to meeting old and new friends!

LAST WEEK'S RECAP
Friday It was another record weekend with old and new friends escaping the winter doldrums. This group rivals the Saturday night gang with their continuous play until the wee hours of the morning. Many vowed to be back for more of the same. Our baker/player lady again brought delicious homemade treats for all to delight in. Saturday
Our Friday night dynamic duo pulled a switch on us and joined their USTA teammates for practice on Saturday. Others who had been missing for a while came out and joined us, along with many newcomers from the NY area. The Hoboken/Piscatway buddies attended for the second week in a row. The Hoboken player had such a great time, gelling immediately with Hippy Kris and a couple acquaintances from Yonkers. She was grinning from ear to ear the whole hour. Our actuary player from Yonkers is back! Tonight was an impromptu convention for doctors from Guttenberg, Weekhawken and Riverdale (NY). However, their medical expertise was not needed.
Saturday
This week's two timers include a retired salesman from Leonia (played Friday and today), a doctor from Weekhawken (played Saturday and today) and a flooring expert. It was a big crowd and just a lot of fun for all.
Please call or email me to make reservations.

Look forward to meeting old and new friends!

Tennis in NYC is hard

2009-01-01T18:33:00.000-08:00

I went back to Pittsburgh for the holidays to see my family and got the chance to play tennis with my brother. On the way to the court it occurred to me how easy it is to locate and schedule a tennis court there compared to NYC. Making reservations for a public court in PGH can be made on the telephone vs. NYC where you have to be physically present to reserve the court. Indoor tennis in PGH costs about a third of the price of courts in the NYC area.

One of the other hard parts about playing tennis in NYC is finding a reliable tennis partner. Despite there being over 6 million people in the city it's still hard to find a tennis partner. People's schedules change constantly.

Finally, getting to the courts in NYC can time consuming. Most people have to take the train to get to a court. Going from mid-town to Central Park, Riverside Park, Long Island can take longer than one might expect.

LAST WEEK'S RECAPFridayNo party - Halloween night must have been too scary....
SaturdayA NYC newcomer joined us for the first time this week, speaking with a European accent. He said it's cosmopolitan but a player who just finished playing him jokingly said - Yes, cosmopolitan is NOT to be trusted. Who knows what trick shots he pulled on the court.
A 15-year-old who started playing tennis at a summer camp joined our group just last week, is back again this week and vouches to come weekly. So far he's enjoying it, as he easily transitions from ping pong to tennis and playing great tennis for someone who's been playing on only 4 months.

A Tappan newcomer found us online 4 weeks ago and has been coming weekly since. He must be enjoying the group for its fun and friendliness, aside from the wonderful tennis of course.
By accident 2 fathers who drop off their children at the same daycare were talking about their tennis-related ankle injury this summer. The Tennis Buffs regular mentioned us to the other. The policeman newcomer, our 2nd policeman in the group, is now a weekly regular since his injury healed in September.
SundayDuring breaks last week the players spent time watching sports on TV. This week some spent time talking about a wife's addiction to Dexter or a husband's to "24." Another strange habit of a wife is her inclination to cook only once a week.
We will be missing our British player this week as he will be in Frankfurt. Where is that pilot player when we need him?
Please call or email me to make reservations. The earlier you do, the more our parties will be successful.

Look forward to meeting new and old friends!

FridayThe after-party hangout doubled the size of last week's! Some interesting stories from a New Zealander and a Canadian, now permanent US residents, comparing notes about the colonization of their native land and the origin of their flag (Canadian Maple leaf, didn't hear what was said about New Zealand) ... Long Live the Queen! One is a formidable photographer, the other just an actuary (our 4th in the Tennis Buffs group. Note, there are only 17k actuaries in the US for a population of 300 million. Who would be crazy enough to sit through a series of tests, tougher and taking more years than the CPA and brokers Series 7 exams. At least that's the view of one actuary.) Other noble professions in the group include teachers, a geologist, a fitness instructor and a golf pro.
SaturdayA regular winter player returned for the first time this week, claiming he's ready for some tennis after his vacation to Copenhagen! At the end of the party he commented - Wow there are a lot of good players [his level] today. When do they usually come? My reply - That's just it. Since this summer starting in July, a lot of newcomers discovered our group. They have become part of the new REGULAR crowd for a Saturday night. [Many just graduated college and even higher ed. Others are from NYC or out-of-towners who recently moved to the area, finding us by word of mouth, newspapers and online ads.] It's good to see this regular happy to return.
SundayA few Saturday regulars crossed over to the Sunday party, challenging our British player and making him quite happy. After a month of continuous play, he is now Wimbledon Ready again!
One of the players is going to the Nationals in the USTA 8.0 League this November. Congratulations to her and many other Tennis Buffs that have also gone to the regionals and the sectionals.
Speaking of interesting professions, we have our first pilot player in the group. There was too much tennis playing going on, stopping me from being able to interview him. There's always another time....Please call or email me to make reservations. The earlier you do, the more our parties will be successful.
Look forward to meeting new and old friends!
