2023 Summer Challenge Ladder Prize-Winners Announced!

I am pleased to announce the winners of the 2023 Tennis4All Summer Challenge Ladder, all of whom will be receiving fabulous prizes in the mail.

Drum Roll please….

With 48 total players on this year’s ladder, with a total of 107 matches played….still, there could be only one person on top. I give you…this year’s overall winner:

#1 Player: Ryan Losey

Once he secured that top spot, Ryan would not relinquish!  Well done Mr. Losey!

But there’s more!

Over on the Points Ladder, 2 players rose up. Though they never faced one another, these 2 played more tennis matches out in the summer weather than anyone else.

Most Points: Doug Lockwood- 49

Second Most Points: Conroy Jackson- 47

I don’t know who the heck that first guy is but congratulations Conroy, you rock.

But wait!  There’s one more Prize! For the person who made the biggest jump in the rankings from the beginning of the season to the end and that person is….

Bill Lamberson- 9 rungs up! 

Great job Bill!

Thanks to all who participated. I hope to see you AND some more tennis4all friends in Summer of 2024.

Until then,

longlegs

 

 

Reminder: First tennis social of the season on October 14

It’s time to kick off the 2023-24 Tennis4All socials season with our October doubles social!!

It’s Halloween time, but what’s better than dressing up as Mrs. Roper, one of the icons of the late 70’s kitchy TV show, Three’s Company!  For those of you who don’t know — Mrs. Roper was fabulous (click here to learn more about her), lounging around in her trademark kaftans and constantly being disappointed by her curmudgeon husband, Stanley.

  • When: Saturday, October 14, 8:00pm – 10:00pm
  • Where: Woburn Racquet Club

Costumes encouraged!  Get your curly wig and kaftan on, favorites 70’s themed outfit, or any costume at all — or just show up and watch the fun!  We will have tennis, dinner & drinks, and a runway show. All levels of play are welcome.
