h,l j ‘ t { v WTC presently has six H;: râ€"Tru courts on the parkâ€" side of the clubhouse, two hard courts adjacent to Seaâ€" gram Stadium and two twoâ€" court bubbles for winter play. One of the major chang? to take place this year will be the resurfacing of the back courts. The new Dynaâ€" cushion will be a rubberized, highlyâ€"textured _ surface which plays fatrly slow. Recently the club hired bidely-recognized profesâ€" sionals John and Harry Greenan for the period of May 1 to Sept. 15. John will take care of the daily needs of the club while Harry will look after private instrucâ€" tion in the capacity of head professional. He presently holds a similar position with Oxford Racquet club in Cambridge and operates a sports store with his brother. ‘‘*Harry has a great deal of experience as a player and a teacher,"‘* said Pezzack. "I‘m sure he‘ll bring some exciting new ideas to the club." Greenan replaces Sandy Morgan, who left WTC to go to the new Northfield faciâ€" lity, only to leave there soon after to take a position at the exclusive Badminton and Racquet club in Toronâ€" Included in WTC plans this year is the continuation of the Western Ontario open on the Civic Holiday weeâ€" kend and the CHYM Radioâ€" sponsored Western Region Munior tournament. Â¥ For the past few years the Waterloo club has been noâ€" torious for its long waiting list for potential members, but Pezzack indicated that is no longer a problem. ® 6 HARTRU COURTS (CLAY) ® 4 DYNAâ€"CUSHION L s ® ALL COURTS LIGHTED ij‘:‘ ® PRACTICE WALL //‘{4”?‘ e LICENSED BAR LOUNGE {ay "Â¥A e CHANGING ROOMsS y e @ SNACK BAR / â€"#.] e PRO SHOP â€" STRINGING g‘[fi e WATERLOO PARK SETTING e 2 EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONALS John and Harry Greenan Offer Private, Group and Clinic Instruction.

Hoâ€" wever, Pezzack sees neither as a "threat‘‘ to the ewistenâ€" ce of WTC. ‘‘*Northfield is planning outdoor courts but it is siâ€" tuated in a highlyâ€"indusâ€" trialized area while we‘re (WTC) more aesthetically pleasing. | ‘‘Chicopee is an equally attractive facility but it is in its first year and must do a lot of organizing to establish a tradition â€" which in our case is a major drawing facâ€" tor. The only members we lose to that club will probaâ€" bly switch to be closer to home. ‘"‘They (Northfield) have a cp quality winter facility, and a number of our members have gone over, but plan to come back here in the summer. I‘m a member at Northfield myâ€" self and have a good feeling for the facility with its atâ€" tractive and diversified naâ€" ture. But I don‘t think many members will want to pay court time in the summer, so they‘ll come back here."‘ ‘‘Waterloo Tennis Club is a nonâ€"profit organization owned and run by its/memâ€" bership, while Northfield is a business operation. That can have a deepâ€"running efâ€" fect and alter people‘s attiâ€" tudes and expectations of the club." Pezzack also pointed out a major difference in the two Waterloo clubs. ® Because funding for seâ€" veral of WTC‘s courts came ircm the University of Waâ€" terloo government and Winâ€" tario, the club has a someâ€" what complex schedule. ‘‘We had to prove that the facilities would be cooperaâ€" tively shared by the club, university, _ and _ comâ€" munity,"‘ said Pezzack. As a result WTC provides reasonable access for payâ€" asâ€"youâ€"play players at $10 a court hour in the winter; Old age, young ideas Box 241. Waterloo 885â€" 3920 Spring has sprung and workers are beginning to prepare Waterloo Tennis Club for the upcoming season. The club is known for its quaint clubhouse (above) and its aesthetic value among the trees of Waterioo Park. â€" . members, whose fees cover the entire year, pay $6 a court hour while UW stuâ€" dents pay for court use through university athletic Members have access to all courts in the summer at no additional cost, and share the back courts on a roughly 50/50 ratio with the univerâ€" sity. There is also a summer guest fee arrangement. In March the new execuâ€" tive was selected with Jim Evans succeeding Pezzack as president. Joy Baxter is first viceâ€"president and seâ€" cretary, Waiter Hundt is seâ€" cond vice, and Bob Trotter treasurer. Other executive members with various reâ€" sponsibilities are Christel Weber, Marten Johnston, Janet Morris, Ralph Staal and Dianne Meacher. **We have a variety of proâ€" grams for beginners, interâ€" mediates and advanced players plus private and group instructional clinics. We‘re also planning to put some added direction and instruction into our junior program,"‘ said Pezzack. Obviously, in slight conâ€" tradiction to that hackneyed phrase, the Waterloo Tennis Club is getting older. But yes, it‘s also getting better.
