Sun City Doubles Now History … No Sweat … Champions Can Celebrate Survival

BLUFFTON SC (TENNIS E-News) – The Sun City Senior Doubles finished today with an honor roll of champions who lost a lot of weight over the weekend. Such is the problem for players who keep on winning.

Tournament Referees Paul and Cindy Vanderberg folded the tent by midafternoon and Tournament Director Ernie Clark furloughed Ernie’s Army of volunteers.

We’d write some more but a thunderstorm is looming. See ya at the Beaufort Splash!!
