Tennis Course: "302"

"Prez, the course you enrolled in is for Intermediate Players. I am afraid that you did not take the prerequisite courses for Advanced Beginners," such was TennisTitan's caustic comment as they left the clay courts this date to adjourn for lunch at Squires Bar in tony Briar Cliff Manor. TT had eagerly accepted his buddy's invitation to get together for a three set match that culminates with beverage and burger courtesy of the loser. Titan must sweep the three sets, Rich 'El Presidente' Prezioso needs but 2 out of 3, to have his tab picked up. Otherwise, we go Kraijcek - that is 'Dutch' treat. Your Titan managed (6-3, 6-0, 6-2) victories and pleased his palate with several Coors Lights and a Bleu Cheese Burger. TennisTitan so admires Prez' extraordinary hustle on the court to chase down ball after ball to prolong a point awaiting a Titan error. The question is, does Prez admire TT's 'hustle' both on and off the court? As the boys left the bar, Titan asked the perplexed bar maid to make an addendum on the luncheon menu, "Hon, do you think next week you might list a bagel as one of your featured specials? I don't think 'Prez' enjoyed his today at the park."
