FROM CAPTAIN ROE BRUSH

The Country Creek Woman’s BonEro 50+ Tennis League is still in first place! BonEro stands for Bonita and Estero combined. What I like about the BonEro League is that all the Clubs we play are close to Country Creek. We play Grandezza, Lighthouse Bay, Belle Lago and Estero Country Club at The Vines.

We have been having an exciting season with quite a few close matches and many 10 point tiebreakers to finish the match. We have brought back a popular way to celebrate when all three courts win. We “swept” the day and celebrated with a “Sweep Party.” It’s a gathering of all the teams to celebrate the big win like a happy “2 hours” with all your tennis friends. Everyone brings an appetizer, their own drinks and the fun begins.

We can always use new players, so if you have any interest in tennis, come by the tennis courts and talk to someone about how to get started. We have social tennis Monday, Wednesday and Friday for women and Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday for men.

We have leagues on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The schedule is on the tennis bulletin board.

If you can’t join, come and watch. We would love to have you.

FROM CAPTAIN JOAN BLASHKE

Country Creek’s 70s tennis team is half way into their 8 week season with the Bonita League. We have been having very competitive and exciting matches on all three courts. After a victory sweep of all three courts on February 11, our team has tied for first place with three other teams.
