The Merger

Remember when!  The temperature was 130 on the court.  Water and bananas were passed out by the USTA.  Kidney stones were passed later.  This was Texas Sectionals for this first time "damn yankee" and it was marvelous.  USTA 4.5 ranking in Chicago transferred to a 4.0 ranking by a USTA Professional in Texas (no self ratings then).  A Texan asked, "do you know what the difference is between a yankee and a damn yankee?"  "Damn yakees are those that stay."   Stay I did and 24 years later at 53 years of age I want to taste Sectionals again.  To do that, I need a team of like minded men.  We need to make the playoffs of the Dallas area.  To do that, we need stronger singles lines and practice twice a week (once with our instructor).  Our A-team doubles lines had winning records in the Spring 2014 season, due in part to our instructor-led practice sessions.  A merger with a team with strong singles lines will be discussed 30 July at 1800.  So begins the saga of McKinney 4.0 - great balls O fire!
