Lots of Tennis




We've had another exciting tennis season at Ocean Resorts in Florida. We play almost every day and sometimes more than once a day.



Ocean Resorts has a traveling team. We travel to other parks and play tournaments. We have played in all the matches and have won some and lost some. All are fun...win or lose!

Ocean Resorts also has in house tournaments, where we play people within the park. We have a mixed doubles match and a mens/womens doubles match, where partners are picked by the people in charge of setting up the tournament. We also have a SPOUSES TOURNAMENT!!! We have won this tournament both last year and this year. See us in the photo with our prize - a tennis/ball chip and dip dish. It's perfect!

Joni also won the womens doubles tournament this year with her partner, Betty Bonetti. Betty played extremely well and deserves all the credit for the win.  We all had a great time.
Our courts are artificial turf much like that used on football fields. It's better on the joints - for us old people! It also makes for a slower game, the ball isn't as fast. We love these courts and wish they had them in more areas of the country.
