I appreciate the engineering of the machines and realize I would last one hour doing the tedious tasks carried out by hand.

FOR THOSE WHO WONDER WHETHER THERE IS AN ELEMENT OF EXAGGERATION IN MY DESCRIPTION OF THE COMMISH, HERE IS AN EDITED AND ANONYMIZED TYPICAL NOTIFICATION:

Saturday, should be a pleasant Autumn day for outdoor tennis. However, Friday's overnight low may drop into the 30's, making for a chilly start to the morning. Players can expect a daytime high of 61°, sunny skies, and a light westerly breeze (7-9mph).

In addition to the cool early morning temps, we have a player, or two, who need to leave by noon. Considering all these factors, a 10:00am start seems to make good sense. We should have a match time temp around 46°, quickly warming into the 50's. 😎👍

I plan to arrive by 9:30am, to prep the courts and warm up. Those who need to leave by noon, may want to consider arriving early, too. Once we have four, we can get that first court of doubles going.

The superfantabulous roster of players, scheduled to play Saturday, 10:00am, @ Simley HS includes:

Player1

Player2

Player3

Player4

Player5

Player6

Player 7/8 (split session)
