I mean a10best, my mistake..
I have heard of more break ins at the other suburban facilities than at OTC. At Lake Cane they had a bad problem of smash and grabs during the day, especially when the womans teams are playing. They targeted the purse that was left in the car as the ladies were on the court. Who takes their purse on the court with them? I think they do now.
Mik, do you string/teach/play at Lake Cane?? is Molly still there lol
Also, Mik, these smash and grabs happened up in Gainesville as well (roughly 90 minutes north of orlando). It happened at all of our tennis clubs and a a few of our gyms. The police actually found that it was a crime ring out of Ft Lauderdale im pretty sure. The police found multiple gps units in cars that were caught which contained the location of all of the tennis clubs that were reachable from I75 north of Ft Laud. Unfortunately it happened to a lot of the women at our tennis facility. The thieves use some part of a spark plug to shatter a window and its basically silent since the glass from the window falls into the seat of the car. Sometimes the thieves would follow people from banks/grocery stores and other places. The whole thing is pretty insane/intense.
Yeah, the car theft thing has been going on for a couple of years now unfortunately. I teach/string/play at a club in Gville and the woman would have anything from sun passes to wallets and jewelry stolen. But the weirdest thing was that it could happen right in front of you and you wouldn't notice. An Suv had its passenger rear window smashed 30 ft from the closest court located next to the parking lot while a clinic was being given and no one heard or saw anything, they are professionals.
Molly used to make me so angry lol. She means well...but half of the time she had no clue what she was talking about.
I played tournaments there as a junior, and molly would always change the names in the draw sheets which was ridiculous. ssGator, thats funny who did you play? i may know him
Mik, thats happened at lake cane before...plenty of times. ssgator, thats funny, I know hes working with one of the head pros at a club in gville, doing pretty well from what ive heard. Did you beat the better of him lol?? Hes got a temper..ive seen it lol
LOL thats awesome. One of the Juniors that played in Gville was playing a city rival and was so angry after they split sets he threw the other players bag over the Fence and refused to walk and get it, and ended up winning the match in the third. Definitely one of the funniest things that I have ever seen
Funny thing is the kid who got so angry and had a temper was extremely short, MAYBE 5 ft 4ish..and thats with shoes on.
Is SSGator Scott Stevens?? I just looked up Marcs records from 2 years ago lol and the only person he played in the Orlando area was in Dubs, and Stevens was the opponent.
My apologies, sorry about that. Do you guys play mens open tournaments at all? A few years back the draws for mens open tournaments were fairly good in size and quality of players, but I think its fallen a bit

My name is Scott Stewart. Played him at regionals for USTA team 4.5 at Daytona 2 years ago. I have always kept his name since I get to Gainesville on occasion during the year. Just in case I needed a match. Have never done it though.
I play mostly 4.5 tournaments - but havent played as many lately. Hopefully play a few more age group 50+. You're probably a young kid. LOL
[QUOTEWe generally don't like to mention full names on here. But that is not ssgator80.]
hah thats funny, Gator I remember that match and it was a lot of fun, i'm actually MDunn, left later that day to go back to gville, went to the doc the following monday, found out I had mono...haha
I love the ladies balls. I dont like guys who play like ladies.

That's a pretty bold statement gator. That reminds me of the infamous scene from Hangover 2.
nice..interested in how they compare to the standard Athletic Gels.
I put the standards in my Solutions and so far (w/ a patella band) my knee has been a lot better.
^dude - think your last post flamed that thread out before i got my $.02 posted...lol
I'm sure you were just going to agree with everything I said. I knew that thread was going down the toilet soon.
To the players here that belong to OTC, how is the lighting for night matches? Comparable or better to Ft Gatlin? TIA
Mats Wilander is in town today for an exhibition. Anyone going to see him? I got invited but could not make it.
He must be making the rounds. I got an e-mail from Stonebrook CC out in Winchester, VA, just an hour drive from Reston out Rt 50. He'll be there Saturday, May 11th giving clinics & a luncheon where you can sit & chat with him for a bit. It's called 'Wilander on Wheels'. When are you planing on coming up?
WTA event at OTC starts this Sunday I think.
Are the playing with the "ladies balls" discussed earlier in the thread? Sorry I couldnt resist!!!
