I love it Stotty! Great video. Thanks for sharing. The energy and excitement of a club when busy is glorious. The interest and enthusiasm on the kids' faces when playing tennis really makes it special. You realize just how great the game is.Originally posted by licensedcoach View PostHere's my club. I recently had a professional filmmaker do a video of our junior morning at the club. Video speaks better than photos for me, which is why I had the video made. You get a feel for the place.

And last but not least...
Two pics are of Jarkko Nieminen. Former ATP #13. He was in town for the Delray Beach ATP tour event and we happen to share a mutual Finnish friend that introduced us. It was a fun experience but needless to say, despite being in his 30's, he still has plenty of game. Unfortunately for me, I had to play against it. Entertaining points though I must say. Very nice guy though and always try to root for him on tour. The Fighting Finn

My Club
Phil,
you have a Beautiful club in Lugano.
You have the mountains but I have the South Florida gated communities, desperate housewives and pristine beaches. My facility has 12 courts. 10 Har-tru (green clay) 1 red clay and 1 deco-turf hard court. A full service pro shop and a clubhouse. There are nearly 500 luxury homes on 282 acres within the Oaks at Boca Raton.

You guys would cry if you saw the courts we've played on in Mother Russia, and the Ukraine. Dilapidated. Our court had photos and banners hung up with a HUGE photo praising Nikita Khrushchev for building the court in 1957.
I swear to god, no one used the thing EVER and it was locked right next door to a junk yard, where pit bulls we're guarding scrap metals, boats and cars from world war II era.
It was perfect, dirt, dilapidated, cold, right by the sea where the wind would knock you down if you weren't strong and balanced.
It had a hitting wall that was the fastest thing on earth, it was like a tile or something and the ball came back with such speed it was like a rocket.
Now we train out a facility that used to be ran by mobsters who fled the country when our latest revolution happened. Its like a ghost-town, just us, empty buildings, rust, 11 tennis courts and no one else. Indoor court is cold, as well, it's a ghost town facility we play in now. Its so quiet. It was funny, when we went to Czech one of the pro's said, "Oh, I played at your facility. Its twenty minute drive from a village right!" Yep, this 16 million dollar facility, two hours from Kiev in the middle of nowhere that was built for some guys ego! That's it."
The guy just laughed and said he hasn't seen a nicer club anywhere.
Now its all ours, and its cold as hell, as no one wants to pay to heat the "indoor courts" LOL. Oh well, that's life.Last edited by hockeyscout; 10-23-2014, 01:08 PM.

Show your club....
End of the season, TC Lido Lugano, the indoor tennis bubbles will soon be mounted...


Sad moment, another season is over, I prefer playing outdoors...
Anybody else want to show their club?
This is a pretty easy way to do it: http://imgbox.com/Tags: None
