When the weather gets hot, people occasionally forget rules and common courtesy, so today’s column will be a bunch of reminders:
·On Tuesdays/Thursdays and first and third Saturdays until 11am, Paddle Tennis has ALL of the courts. They are not SHARED with Pickleball at those times. However, they have been known to graciously share courts if they are not using them.
·SIGN IN – especially when bringing your ONE guest. It’s a GRF rule violation not to sign in, and we are trying to how busy the courts are.
·Do not walk through a game in progress. WAIT until play stops, and have all your players ready to walk through at the same time.
·Along those lines, because courts are busy, be ready to play or lose your slot.
·Dress in proper shoes – NO FLIP FLOPS.
·Having pizza and beer? Take your pizza box, and beer cans home
·NO GLASS on the courts
·Want to hear music while playing? Use earbuds
·Think people are hogging the court by readjusting their score? Feel free to ask their score.
·Extra guests and unaccompanied residents are keeping you off the courts. Call Security in confidence if they don’t act or look like residents. If you are one of the “ I just want to play” crowd, then don’t complain about the long wait for a court. These courts will only be as good as we all make them.
