The men’s team ran into a buzz saw at Round Hill CC on May 23. We lost 4-1. Here’s the scores:
At Line 1, Larry and Frank came up against a former collegiate player and his team mate who were both very strong, as the final score denotes. They fought back in the second set and only a single point made the difference between winning and losing the second set.
Bernie and David, playing at Line 2, were overcome by a huge server by the name of Mike. Mike not only had a big serve, but he also had smooth finesse and touch, hitting many drop shots for outright winners. Power and finesse in the same player is very unusual.
Line 3 players Jerry and Dave had many chances to win but were overcome by a wily RH team. The final 10-point tiebreak third set was a nail biter with the lead changing hands many times.
Line 4 players Barry and Ron, having lost the first set, were up 5-2 in the second, but, alas, their opponents made a comeback and won the second set. What a revoltin’ development!
Chris and Murray played at Line 5 and were the only Rossmoor team to win. Hey, one out of five is better than none.
The team thanks Larry Barclay for handling the captain duties.

Special thanks to Sally Nordwall who managed the court assignments, name tags and recorded the scores, and to Irene Wong and Ken Haley who helped Rob Ingalls with the barbeque grill and to Carol Pillsbury who filled in on a Trilogy team that was short a player.

Dave Corliss wants to thank all those who held up his side of the court and helped him coast home to victory by a single point in the last round. FAKE NEWS! Actually Dave wants to also thank all his opponents who were so considerate in helping him out ...
