Euphoria in a chickee

by Albert Green

One of the many delights of Grove
      Isle is the Seminole chickee
After a thirty minute walk
It is a pleasure to rest quietly
Soon — all of your worldly problems
      are forgotten
The cool breeze embraces you
Your gaze wonders aimlessly
Over the crystal clear sea to
The unabated green barrier islands
Under a pale blue sky dotted with
      puffy white clouds
Truly — a euphoric moment
Paradise found.

Al, our venerable tennis friend, just celebrated his 90th birthday, and lives with wife Esther at Grove Isle.

Good advice

"Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them to become what they are capable of being," advised Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832), the German poet.

The Memorial Day round robin
extravaganza exceeded all expectations

We keep setting records. The Memorial Day turnout broke the attendance record — and not to speak of the having-so-much-fun record.

We congratulate Carol Griffin, our industrious pro shop manager, ably assisted by tennis director Norm Schellenger and pro Mark Buckley, for a job well done.

The group is all smiles. Why? Everyone had lots of fun.

The top prize went to a top lady: Pro shop manager Carol Griffin congratulates Donna Singer, winner of the tournament.

And then there was a co-winner. Following an official recount (and all chads having been accounted for), Maruca Crosby also earned a bottle of wine with a total score identical to Donna's. On the right is Robert Crosby, Maruca's hubby (as well as general manager and business agent).

Here's the proud winner of the booby prize. Carol congratulates Raymond Krueger.

There was a three-way tie for second place. The honors went to Grace Korse, Walter Rose, and Heinz Dinter.

There's much excitement in the air. The 4th of July round robin promises great tennis and a hat full of fun.
