Dear Members,

We hope that everyone had a wonderful Memorial Weekend! We had 27 members and one guest attend our Social and Demo day. Garrett and I are looking forward to seeing you all on the courts and to reclaiming our courts! We have several new opportunities this season, starting with Flex Doubles Leagues. This will give you a chance not only to work on your game this summer, but to test it along the way, in a very flexible match schedule. Rather than have a set date and time, you will receive your schedule and play your matches whenever it works for the foursome. Hopefully with lunch to follow! It is not too late to register. Our MEMBER/MEMBER on Saturday, June 10 is always a popular event, so make sure to find your favorite partner and get signed up. NEW this year, we are doing the ladies event in the morning followed by the men’s event in the afternoon. Finally, another NEW event, “ TRIPLES ” will be taking place on Saturday, June 17. Sign up as a threesome, foursome or as a single and enjoy a fun morning of high energy doubles, as you master getting into the “Holy Grail” of doubles! Sign up to see what all this is about. Thank you all once again for your patience through the years as we have hosted pickleball and we continue to host pickleball until our “soft opening” on June 19, followed by our official opening on July 5. This means that the tennis courts will return to a TENNIS ONLY facility. Our BIG event of the season is our GRAND OPENING of the new pickleball facility on Sunday, July 9 from 9am – noon. We will have a top-level exhibition, featuring our two professionals against our very own Cooper Fratt and partner, beginner and themed based intermediate clinics, a round robin, food and more! AN IMPORTANT REMINDER: ALL REGISTRATIONS can be made on the members.fhgc.com website OR on your smart phone FHGC app ONLY . If you do not have a computer or a smart phone, you may contact the Pro Shop.
