ROAD TRIP... STATE BOUND!

TENNIS ROAD TRIP

We are here and ready to get the tournament started!



After taking a half day at work, I picked up team mate Josh Brisbane at his downtown Atlanta office and headed to Augusta. The trip gave us a couple of hours to talk lineup and strategies.... we are in it to win it! Josh is going to be the lineup captain this weekend..... our teams combined to create this team and he knows all the players better than me.. in fact, I pretty much am not a good lineup maker.





We arrived in Augusta in time for a hit at the Newman Tennis Center, the main site of the tournament. The center is a 18 court facility that reminds me a little bit of Dekalb Tennis Center with it's pyramid shape. I so wish Carrollton had something like it....We had planned to hit just for a half hour but hit for about an hour. We got to play on the Center Court which was neat but it is in a pit and it felt very hot..... might need to drink a little extra water to rehydrate tonight.




After tennis, we went to the captain's meeting. Jenny Ingram, Teri Arias and Emily Roberts asked me to get their packets so I had my hands full. The captains meeting covered everything that we need to know for the tournament. I also won a drawing. That makes about the 5th captains meeting where I have won something!


We also found out that one of the Savannah teams is forfieting line 3 in all if its matches.. we play the team first, so we had to rethink our lineups for tomorrow. I think it will work out just fine!


After Dinner, we went to a Cuban inspired restaurant called Blue Sky Cafe downtown Augusta....very good!



We play tomorrow at 8:00.... I will update everyone how it went and what is going on with the other West Georgia Teams.
