Players of the Month:
The Tone Family . . . . . Three Generations
The Tone family is playing in the Caughlin Club Tuesday night league which covers three generations.
Barry Tone (the oldest of the Tone men) played around with tennis many years back but was reintroduced to playing again in 1998 by his now wife, Elaine Deller-Tone (this is Bob Dellers mom). "When asked the question, "What do you enjoy most about playing?" he answered, "just finishing."
Jerry Tone (dad to Nick and son to Barry) recalls starting to play in about 1975 with his dad for something to do. No lessons, just trying to be a Jimmie Connors. He says it is good exercise and a fun way to bond with the family. When asked the question, "to date, what is your most memorable tennis experience?" He says, "watching my daughter (Shelly who is Caughlin Clubs; Little Pro instructor) play in the last three high school state championship tournaments."
Nick Tone was introduced by his dad around eight years old but not for long and then a couple months ago decided he wanted to start playing. After a couple of lessons with Bob Deller he was ready to tackle the mens night league. When asked, "what is you goal?" he answers, "beating my dad." He also says that his most memorable tennis experience was beating his sister about six years ago. Shelly is quite the accomplished tennis players. He admits he may never catch up to her ability, but he will give it a try.
During the first session of the summer mens league, Nick found himself on the same court with grandpa Barry. Several times Nick referred to Barry as great serve grandpa, nice point grandpa, and just down right laughing about grandpa and playing with him. One of the other players finally pulled Nick aside and explained that just because the older man looks like a grandpa, it is probably disrespectful to call him grandpa in front of everyone. Nick laughed and says, “but he is my grandpa." Everyone had a good laugh and continue on with the game.
On July 8 is the Caughlin Club Child/Parent Social. Barry will play with Nick and Jerry will play with Shelly and Bob will be playing with his son Gavin.
The HOT SHOTS Spring Camp was great. The participants started with hand/eye coordination and by the end of the week were playing a quickstat tournament. These HOT SHOT players will be playing the Biggest Little Tennis Association Satellite Tournaments in no time.
Two familiar places around Caughlin Club are Paula Kaley and Bev Hovorka. They recently had a wonderful time at the Ladies Cookie Exchange and Social Tennis. (we think the rabbit ears belong to AnnMarie)
