“While large meetings are great, small meetings sometimes can be more fun!” Such was the case as Mike Allport nailed it when he said what we all were feeling at the Tops’l Beach and Racquet Resort this spring. At Tops’l there was the opportunity to really communicate and learn about each other – their lives, their personalities, their tennis game – was abundant~ The better you get to know people, the more relaxed the conversations, the laughter, the humor, the cooperation, the whole atmosphere becomes fun~ And that’s just one reason we had a fantastic time~ Har-tru clay is familiar to many and even with its challenges is always a joy to play on~ Shopping and restaurants were abundant~ The beach sand is the whitest white I’ve ever seen~ Southern hospitality, a friendly staff, and an outstanding job by our new Executive Director, D’jean, made the Spring meeting at Tops’l of the USDTA one to remember~

If you missed us this time, we missed you too. Please plan to join us this Fall at The Lodge At Ventana Canyon, November 3-9, 2019. Once again we’ve got a great line up of speakers that you will not want to miss! Hope to see ya’ll in November at The Lodge At Ventana Canyon Resort in Tucson, AZ~

Our 52nd Annual spring meeting held at Tops’ Beach & Tennis Resort in Mirama Beach, Florida the first week of April was wonderful. The weather turned out to be simple beautiful throughout the week with the rain ending on Sunday evening welcoming us with blue skies and well groomed har-tru courts to play on. The “whitest of white” sand beaches against the beautiful sunsets were picture perfect! We had our “Welcome Dinner” by the pool overlooking the beach with the spectacular views and ocean breezes cooling the air for the evening!

The speakers for the week were once again exceptional! Mike Allport , volunteered as our tennis coordinator for the week and we all cannot say enough of the terrific job he did arranging the matches so everyone could play with each other more than once.

The ladies had an opportunity to work with a professional water color painter. A step-by-step guided session was held on Tuesday morning for them under the Tiki hut. So much fun!

On our day off from tennis everyone either explored the island, the beaches, shopping , biking, walking or just simply relaxing by one of the many pools. We truly enjoyed having dinner each evening with everyone at the many fine dining places in the area. The camaraderie and friendships with so much laughter and funny stories every day simple “made the week” PERFECT!
