We should learn to play like them...

I've been bit by a tennis bug this year and have been in LOVE!  2 Jan 2010 is the exact date I picked up the racket!

Immediately, I've joined a tennis league that competes week with other teams in the city limits.  When the season ends teams with top winning stats go to next round, the ddistrict, state and all the way to the Nationals.  The Spanish Oak team was my first league experience and was full of 2.5 but we were competing in 3.0.  Needless to say, we finished dead last in the city- hahaha.

However, I new friends and really enjoying the experience all together and especially the fact that tennis is an active sport and helps me maintain the physical fitness.

When the fall season started, my original team fail apart, largely due to the fact the Spanish Oak (the resident court) didn't want league people coming and abusing their courts and said we disturbed the peace of their neighborhood...  Which I can't blame them entirely for.  We were bunch of beginners and some people Jason -the coach brought were less than polite.

So I get a call from my tennis friend Merle who tells me she joined a Flamingo team and if I want to, then there is a spot for me as well...

Me:  Oh, really?  But I don't know anyone else there...

Merle:  I don't either, but you know they finished 2nd last season.  I want to learn to play like them.  They must be pretty good!

Me:  Yeah, I remember, they were full of older ladies but played real well... Spanish Oaks got crushed when we played them..

Merle:  Yeah, and it's not like you really don't know anyone there.  I'm playing~  Don't let me go there by myself?  Besides, if not them, who you going to play with?

Me:  OK, OK, you got me.  I guess there is a benefit to find out how they play.

So began a journey of this Flamingo nightmare...

Oh, so much more to come :)
