PAUMEanyone? Did you know that paume, the French work for palm, was a court* game in 12th century France, whereby a ball was volleyed back and forth, using the palm of the hand? As the game grew in polularity, so did the name, which became jeu de paume, and rackets were introduced. This game, beginning as paume, evolved centuries later to the contemporary game of TENNIS, now a worldwide and olympic game of skill and strength, recreation and fun. Bring your game to Auburn, Alabama. You'll love the new, 10-acre Tennis Center, located on Richland Road. Come out and play! Comment d'un jeu de tennis?
*courtyards were the main, social gathering places back then, around the castles and in village centers.
