That's possible.

Ha, I was being sarcastic. Douglasville is kinda far from Suwanee, and I don't have three-hour lunches...

You should complain to your employer...

bcart1991 · 09-09-2010, 09:04 AM

Believe me, I've sent more than one scathing email to our HR rep about this very thing. They won't cave.

AtomicForehand · 09-09-2010, 09:48 AM

I'm in A-retta and would be interested if there are others on the north side!

chollyred · 09-09-2010, 11:10 AM

Must be nice to live in one of the hot bed areas. I'm about 40 miles east of Atlanta near Conyers.

Hey AF, I live in Norcross right near the Johns Creek line. You aren't far from me at all. Where do you normally play?

Sounds good. What days work for you?

spot · 09-10-2010, 04:33 AM

We have a big group of people that plays all the time around Dekalb Tennis Center. If anyone lives nearby let me know as we are always looking for a fourth. (or 20th as the case was last night)

Hey Juice--I just play in the subdivisions and parks in the area via ALTA/USTA/T2. What about you?

If we can get a few more people we could maybe form a steady hitting group...

hb_hound · 09-10-2010, 05:08 AM

I'm in Grayson if anyone is close (3.0 / 3.5)

JackB1 · 09-10-2010, 05:21 AM

I am in North Atlanta near I-75 and Windy Hill Rd, near the Marietta border. I can hit most weekdays after 6 pm.

Also, my ALTA team (B6) needs a few players. We have our first match Sat. and may be short a couple. Email me thru my profile if interested in hitting sometime or in the team.

SmoothOperator · 09-10-2010, 06:17 AM

I'm on the northside as well (alpharetta). Sunday mornings are about the only time that I can hit during the fall since I'm playing ALTA, USTA mixed and K-Swiss plus team practices.

I start a new position with my company on the 20th that will take some flexibility away from my schedule but I still get out on the weekends and will be trying to plan some evenings.

Is Thursday the normal day your group hits?

I do the same. I haven't joined any of the S&T clubs although it seems this area forces you to do that (a rant for another day). I hit at Newtown Park in Alpharetta, East Roswell Park, Hudlow TC. Are there any public parks in Johns Creek?

Sunday mornings are bad for me because of church. How about Sunday evenings? Maybe even Friday evenings?

Hey, we met once while talking to Tony. You were talking about my Babolat racquets and Tony was throwing on a leather grip and stringing your Fischers. I know you may not remember but we were kind of talking sh*t then (playing around of course). It is a small world. I will be going in there probably Monday to get my sticks restrung.

AutoXer · 09-11-2010, 03:59 PM

Yea, I remember that. I always like to have fun and talk some smack at the shop. That Fischer Tony had weighted up for me, so I could try it more headlight. It ended up being just awesome, but way to heavy for me. It was 362g strung. Played awesome, but I am too much a weakling for that bad boy. I just took the weight off and it's back to stock specs again.

Hopefully, I'll get to see you up there again. Tony and Eric are the only ones that i'll let touch my sticks.

Joey
