Too Little, Too Late
A Do-Over of the Sun City Senior Doubles Sunday and Championships
BLUFFTON SC (TENNIS E-News) -- TENNIS E-News definitely was not satisfied with its coverage of finals day of the Sun City Senior Doubles. Late posting did not allow for including first names. Winners of round robins were not noted. All category champions were not listed. So TE-N is opting for a do-over, and here is the update/upgrade.
Players are from Bluffton unless otherwise noted. It’s your call on differentiating on Okatie, HHI (Hilton Head Island) and HH (Hilton Head). If your information is incorrect, it’s likely because that’s the way you entered it in the USTA databank. You can change that at www.usta.com/membership.):

You know what usually happens when you try a "cute" shot. The ball ends up in the net or doesn't even get that far.
Well, TENNIS E-News netted its own cutie in the last issue.
While bragging in "TENNIS E-News FootNote " that tennis had "made it" to the big time because of a Sharapova lingerie photo spam offering, TENNIS E-News gave the origin address of the spam email and the webpage address. Well, DUH. If that email was determined to be spam by our hargray.com, wouldn't every other system judge it likewise? Yep. Our headslap.
Compliments go to charter.net, embarqmail.com, juno.com and others for bouncing that issue back to us because of use of the spam addresses. The rest? We don't know, but we certainly apologize for any inconvenience caused. Dumb, with a cap "D". Sorry about that.
