Opponent leaves to grab burger after first set. Rule?

Well, why DO we do our sports?
I'd like to think...self satisfaction.
What's more satisfying than a freshly barbaqued double cheeseburger with all the mixins, a huge helping of fries, and Coke in a bottle, at least a couple?

The sound of that food is convincing me otherwise rather swiftly...

Let's face it... one of the reasons I play tennis is so that I can burn calories so that I can drink beer after tennis without feeling guilty :)

That's funny. Personally, I have to smile when I see guys in league who show up with a 12 racquet bag that contains one racquet, a wristband and a hand towel. It's kind of like a lonely single guy driving to work in a Suburban.

Exactly why I have a single racquet cover. I'm a 2.5-3.0 with only 1 racquet! I don't want to be known as "that guy" who has a pair of $230 racquets, brand new 12 racquet bag, etc. and then goes out 6-0.

You should see some of the guys on the golf courses. All the best equipment, clothing, etc... They got everything except game...

You should try drinking while you play. It's pretty fun. Nothing like a bunch of 3.5 to 4.0-able drunk idiots playing like 3.0's because we cant read the spin on the ball because our eyes are looking in two different directions.

Would not recommend drinking in league matches.

Save it for Sunday free play, and later afternoon/night games. You dont want to be drinking beer at noon during a league match in the blazing sun.

Saw the result of drinking and playing in doubles. Sober forehands tattooing the drunks. Seriously, save the burgers and brats till the match is over. Pretty heavy to play on.

Done that more times than I care to mention. My 4.5 team is a merry bunch and we often bring beer to practices. Oddly enough a beer or two sometimes makes me play better - if I'm tight, it loosens me up. More than 2 beers though is not a good idea...

That reminds me of kegger softball.

Keg of beer at second base. Before you could run to third, you had to drink a cup of beer from the keg.

Cut down on a lot of home runs and triples.

Good times.

I kinda understand how the guy feels.

Our local tournament they seem to ALWAYS schedule my match during the food service times...and by the time we finish no food left.

and well...that part of it for me is the free food/beer and socializing.

what I have started to do is Bring a tupperware container and I have my wife go thru the food line and fix me a plate and then when my match is over and we head home I can zap it in the microwave and eat then.
