You would drive 4 hours to play? Geez man, is there no one up there that plays other than you?
I'm working on a site called
TennisPulse.org to help people find partners. We've got some NY'ers but I don't think any are in your immediate area. If you want to join (no charges at all), then we'll have at least one player in Syracuse, and maybe you can lead the way, in building an active community up there.
I hope you get some responses man, cause I hate to think you'd have to drive 4 hours to play tennis. I don't want to drive that far to go on vacation
Good luck bro!
