Leftwich court repairs are underway!

The outdoor courts at the Leftwich Tennis Center are finally getting the repairs they need and deserve. Some people have commented about the bad timing-- just as the weather is getting warm, just as Team Tennis is starting, etc. That might be true, but we had to take what we could get. What people might not know is that Tennis Memphis has been working with the City of Memphis for over a year (at least) to get the Leftwich project off the ground. Resources are tight, and there are a lot of facilities in the Memphis Park System and a long list of capital improvement projects. Every delay seemed to increase the cost because the courts kept deteriorating, which caused more delays to redo the estimates and project scope. But, finally, our number came up and things fell into place. Yes, it is an inconvenience, but just for a few more weeks. Then, we will be able to enjoy the results. The only problem is, now that the cracks in the courts are gone, what can we use as an excuse for mishitting the ball?
