Plea Put to Council Forum
Goal of More Courts Will Need Significant Work and Support from Players
BLUFFTON SC (TENNIS E-News) -- A delegation of Bluffton area tennis players made it clear to the mayor and Town Council and the mayor and Town Council made it clear to the delegation of Bluffton area tennis players: Building a significant batch of tennis courts at the new Buckwalter Tract would be a good thing, but it will only happen if lots of support is shown by the tennis community.
The projection of 13 courts at the site was backed Saturday morning by players and organizers at a council workshop. Bluffton High School Coach Bob Brown and a half dozen or so others pointed to the lack of and overcrowding of the existing public courts and cited the area's growth increasing demand.
Mayor Frank Johnston said the group should go to Beaufort County and state rec boards with the campaign. One of the council members suggested an electronic campaign or petition drive among tennis players. The ball appears to be in the court of the tennis community. Volunteers wanting to help with the campaign should contact Brown at 290-2833 or by email at randdbrown@hargray.com.
