The courts were dry when we arrived at 9:30 AM. Some wind, but not a problem. We managed to get our session under way, even though the sky was overcast and afternoon T-storms were predicted (Pretty much an every-day occurrence). We had a good turnout as follows: Bob T, Johnny & Carol, Sharon, Anne, Lynne, Jan, Bob H, Ralph & this chronicler. We played several well-fought matches, always switching players and teams. By 10:30 we knew we were running on borrowed time due to a drop in temperature and darker skies. Then, we heard some thunder that I tried, without success, to blame on a jet plane. At 11:15, thunder was all around us and we felt a few sprinkles. At this point, the more astute P'ballers packed up and headed for their cars. But, there was a hotly contested game going on - and why should a few raindrops and the threat of lightning bolts interfere with a good match? It didn't and no one got wet. We high-tailed it off the court and within 10 minutes we had a good old fashioned gullywasher. Lucky us.
Hoping to play again on Tuesday May 12th.
Ron and Sharon
