Count us in Roy.  Debbie and I were talking the other day how we need to dust off the rackets and get out on the tennis court.

Hi Roy.  After watching the matches during the Olympics it has spurred an interest in me.  I think it is something I'd like to start doing.

Nice that they have senior tennis.  Most of the time they are the ones that are neglected for that agen group.

Thank you for stopping by.  Your comments are always appreciated.  Gaithersburg seniors are glad to have the tennis program for those over age 50. It is not fun to compete with the youngsters.

Roy,

Do you play tennis, we love it and have not in quite a while.  We love watching the pros, and are looking forward to the US Open. A

Wow!  More beautiful flowers while we learn about tennis. Flowers are my passion, second only to real estate of course.  I tried tennis in high school and college and decided that it wasn't my sport.  Have a good evening, Roy.

Thanks so much for your comments.  No, Alexandra, I have not played tennis in many years.  Walking is my favorite exercise.

Hi Roy, Tennis is a great excercise and love the idea of such affordable lessons. I used to pay $50 an hour and that was years ago, LOL. I will say this, I am sorry I ever stopped playing.
