Borrego Springs Tennis Club
TENNIS TALK

A lunar eclipse high in the night sky and a racing comet occurring at the same time. Was this a sign of things to come? Could this be a warning. Is this the end??!! No, it was just another fabulous weekend at the Tennis Club in Borrego Springs!

This month’s Tournament is scheduled for April 26th & 27th. Bring a pal along to play in our friendly games in the sun. Make sure to call or write John Schultz no later than the Friday night before the tournament. John can be reached at:
