$60 Tennis Sweater vs $18.99 Racquet

Lo And Behold! Another great turn-out of hackers at Kinsley this date (10 participants). Many photos have been added to the link on the left marked "Tennis II," unfortunately none with TT brandishing much of 'a winning smile.' TT was paired with 'Slats' for today's merriment and managed to eke out a third set victory against mighty 'King Gene,' and his newly capable partner, 'The Prez' (6-4), after dropping the two previous sets by same (6-4, 6-4) scores. Indeed, Prez was a major factor in all 3 sets he participated in against TT/Slats. Playing a very competent game from the backcourt and letting 'KG' handle the net duties exclusively, Prez raised his game to the level of Saturday competition. 'My Liege' was better than ever at net warding off many balls meant to go deep, to keep the pressure on Prez so that he would make errors on returns. TT attributes today's lack luster results to his own inability to serve effectively(4/8 holds). Even TT bringing his own personal fan didn't help! Slats did his best at net but could not match the consistency of 'cousin Gene' in touch or overhead capability. Prez' hustle was only out-matched by his designer tennis sweater. The duo of 'KG'/Prez had even less difficulty knocking off George 'The Chemist' & 'Gimpy Knees' in an intervening set. The tandem of the 'Chemist'/GK Cruz' were formidable on court 2 taking out 'Spindly Legs' Gessman/'Kraut' Kluge in a well played match, after having served a breakfast bagel to 'Not Espn' Scott and 'Happy Jack' Carey. TT is off to the Senior Tour in Florida for the next 2-3 weekends but has no doubt the courts at Kinsley will get their usual Saturday workout!
