Courts Ready After Rain Delay
by JOHN MONEYPENNY
Flagler College 's tennis courts finally appear to be
on their way to completion, no thanks to the daily
rains we've been having for the past month.
Resurfacing of the courts began in late August,
which should have predicated an early September
finish. However, it has rained so often that the courts
have very rarely had sufficient time to thoroughly dry
out. There have been daily forecasts of at least a 50
percent chance of rain for the past month. Con­sequently,
the workmen have had to be very cautious
and particular about the days they chose to renovate
because of the water soluable material the courts are
made of.
According to working supervisor Hubert Williams,
the flint coated, acrylic courts, cost approximately
$12,000 each.
Williams and his crew came down to the courts
almost every day for the past month, including
Saturdays and Sundays, only to be sent back home by
the frequent showers.
' 'I 've been working in the tennis court construction
business for the past 20 years," said Williams, " and
this has got to be one of the most frustrating jobs I've
encountered.''
Men's tennis coach, Peter Scott, echoed Williams
frustration . ' 'The unusually rainy weather has put a
damper on the team's work-out sessions," observed
Scott. "We' ve been getting only about two hours of
practice because of the ava_ilability of town courts.''
· "However, we have a mature, highly motivated
group of young men who are doing their best to get
the most out of our work-out schedule.''
Walter Shinn, the women's tennis coach, is just as
anxious to hit the new courts. ''We are really thankful
for the use of the Ponce de Leon Lodge courts,'' said
Shinn, "but, I will be elated when we can finally get
our program moving on the new courts.' '
So, all of you potential John McEnroe's, Chris
Everet 's and Bjorn Borg's, break out those rackets
and last year 's can of dead tennis balls .and start tearing
up those courts --------figuratively that is! ·
