For example, if you are hitting into the wind you can put more pace on the ball. Also using your lob is effective outdoors as it is difficult for opponents to hit overheads in the wind and sun. Practice your serve. Again, the wind and sun can alter your ball toss and ability to see the ball so make sure you have practiced your serve enough that you feel comfortable. Move your feet. It is important with the ball moving around outdoors that you are continually moving your feet to adjust to the ball. Cancellations made the day of the event will be subject to a 50% fee. WELCOME TO SPRING TENNIS Hi Everyone, Welcome to the 2015 Spring Tennis Season! I am very excited to be starting as the Director of Tennis and Platform Tennis at the BFC. I have really enjoyed getting to know the staff and the membership, including the Cocktail Party, and I look forward to a successful future at the Club! Spring programming is up and running with permanent lessons and adult clinics starting on Saturday, April 18. We also have our Spring Junior Program starting on Monday, April 20 and have an excellent signup. There is still space available if your junior(s) would like to join. There are several new and fun events scheduled for April and May including the first ever Ladies Intensive Tennis Boot Camp, and also a Kickoff Cardio Tennis Event and Wilson Demo Day. Please talk to the Pro Shop for more information. I look forward to seeing everyone on the courts soon! - Thanks, Nathan PAGE 2 B R O NX V I L LE F IELD C L UB BUENDIA AND DUKE VICTORS IN SQUASH CHAMPIONSHIPS MAY 2 015 MURPHY AND SHAH PREVAIL IN JUNIOR SQUASH CHAMPIONSHIPS Fifteen new and seasoned players participated in the Men’s Club Squash Championship, with Jack Buendia defeating new member Nick Burgin in the finals, 3-0.
