Thats
right!
My CD cover will be on all the pages. I am a songwriter after all and I do
want you to hear my music. Capitalism runs rampant in me...
I'm an avid tennis player/fan. Not that great
a player (USTA rating is 3.5) but I really enjoy everything about the game.
These two sites have fun and interesting articles and chat rooms.
www.Tennisserver.com.
www.Tennisw.com.
ATP Coach has a lot of useful info
for strategies, health, equipment, etc. Of course, it's from the ATP.
Tennismenace.com is a retail
site with a great selection of everything.
www.bomis.com goes
to a tennis 'Web Ring'.
Lindsay
Davenport has a few sites dedicated to her. This is a good one.
'The Women of
Tennis: A Photo Gallery' has lots of great info on the top player
PLUS the lesser known women players.
Tennis Elbow! I would like to pass on my experience with this.
I never had tennis elbow until I bought a wide-body, longbody, relatively
powerful raquet. It didn't start right away but 4 or 5 weeks later it
started. To make this short I went back to a conventional size raquet
and the difference in my elbow is wonderful. I bought a Volkl C90 Classic.
The vibration dampening in this raquet is the best I've played with, and
it doesn't take away any of the feel.
Anyway, consider not playing with a wide body, they are very stiff and
hard on the arm. Yes, I did the exercises and warm-ups for about a year.
And I did try regular length wide-bodies. I think for me it was the stiff
frames.
If anyone has some other good tennis links please let me know...
The following are some comments from the pro's and amateurs that I
have played:
I'm just glad I don't have to play him..."Pete Sampras"
Your kidding aren't you? I thought you said he was at least a 3.5! "Brad Gilbert"
When I watch his teamwork, footwork, and court sense, well, it brings back memories of when I was first learning to dance. "Ed Astair -Berlin"
Dude!!I feel for ya'. Maybe you should think about badmiton or something a little easier. "Phil Butterman of The Butterman Chronicles"
I'm just glad we don't have to play him..."The Woody's"
Some people have it and some people don't. Kenn? Well..., "Andre Agassi"
I always feel better after playing him..."Art Monk"
All he does is hit at the girl!! You can call that good if you want but I think it's kind of cheesy. "Unknown opponent that lost"
That Bea is a good, strong player. Too bad she has to carry him all the time. " Bea's tennis instructor"
One of the 7.0 mixed doubles team I was on (that's me on the right) got a 'Sportsmanship' recognition. We are from the Pleasant Hill Tennis Club and are called 'The Raptors'. From left to right it's: Dean Frakes (Our team captain), Carol Oswood, Maury Schumaker, the handsome guy on the right is Kenn Peterson, Lisa Rounkle, and Bea Schmugler. Of course there are a lot more of us but we were the only ones who showed up for practice that day!!
