Subject:restricting pickle ball play on the lower french tennis court.
When I heard this I thought it was a joke. Whoever brought this up needs to visit this court on any
morning to see both the new pickle ball courts and the lower tennis court full with waiting room only for
the approximately 40 to 50 pickle ballers wanting to play daily. We have well over 100 active players
utilizing these courts. It has been a long process securing these courts. Here are the facts. We have
monitored the tennis court for many months and almost no one uses it. We have provided the few
tennis players that used this court its use one morning a week. The fact is and we have documentation
of the very low usage of the tennis players and the many, many active pickle ballers using this
venue. My hunch is that a few disgruntled tennis players, as they did before, are again trying to revisit
this issue. I suggest that you and you members stop by the courts in question and check it out. Also it
would be enlightening for your members review the minutes of the Rec dept when this was discussed
and decided. Some of our members will attend your Mar 4th to provide you with information and
documentation. Sincerely Bob Goldman, former club member and passonate pickle ball player.
