where do people play near Los Angeles?

[mellofelow]

Alright... I think I hogged the courts too much yesterday. So sore I can barely walk today.... LOL.

Nice to see you join the group Skraggle.

Maybe it's from chasing all of my errant warm-up shots!

Thanks for that, especially since I forgot to throw in my share for the rest of the court! I have you covered next time out for sure...

Nobody is taking it that seriously I don't think.

Actually, unbeknownst to you (b/c you haven't been included in the
action yet) these are high stakes games with seriously large amounts
being wagered on every game and various stats like

"how many times will onehandbh attempt an almost impossible, angled
dropshot before he actually makes one or just stops trying"

"how many balls will be shanked over the side fence?"

"how many will be recoverable?"

"how many people will be in alpinecadet's entourage?"

"how many strings will alpinecadet break from mishits?"

"how many different racquets will skraggle use?"

"how many topspin backhands will 35ft6 hit?"

 

[AlpineCadet]

Hmm, you should add "will mellowfellow realize that I am wearing his hat?"

 

[35ft6]

Doesn't have to be high stakes, but it was definitely better when we were playing sets on two courts. I was pretty hung over, wasn't ambitious enough to get more courts on Sunday.

Add in:

"how many times will my service game go over 10 deuces without holding"

AlpineCadet is a rock star in these parts! So take your pics while you can.

Right on! I represent all of the crappy players in SoCal.

Nice. And in my case, so sadly, sadly true.

Whenever I am around, you will never be the crappiest. I am the King of the Hacks! (Though, I must say that it's a title I would very much like to relinquish.)

 

[gooberwho]

next meet-up?

 

[AlpineCadet]

This Sunday @ Griffith Park around 4-5pm? Anyone willing to commit?

 

[onehandbh]

Cannot make it this Sunday.

 

[AlpineCadet]

Where the hell is everyone?

 

[skraggle]

I'm right over there.

 

[AlpineCadet]

*Throws a new can of dunny 4's over to skraggle*

 

[mellofelow]

I'm here... but haven't touch the racket since last outing. Want to hit this sunday?

 

[AlpineCadet]

I'm in. Do you guys still want to try GP?

 

[AlpineCadet]

Would I be right to assume that everyone hates the n@zi lady who goes above and beyond her job description? Talk about having the ultimate court police! I'd be hard-pressed to find an aggressive dog who's more territorial than her.

She's on training for DMV's window clerk position.

 

[AlpineCadet]

Hey guys, is everyone still hitting around? Does anyone want to hit this coming Sunday around 5pm? We can change locations, doesn't really matter to me.

 

[MomentumGT]

Revival of the thread Can't make it this Sunday, got league matches.

-Jon

 

[onehandbh]

can't make it. too much work to do.

 

[AlpineCadet]

Okie doke, guess I'll skip tennis as well.

 

[gooberwho]

let's try to play after the new year?

 

[MomentumGT]

Yeah when things calm down after the holidays.

-Jon

 

[Lendl and Federer Fan]

Time to dust off the racquets, my shoulder is feeling a lot better now. I can play early in the morning weekend at Cordova ave. next to Caltech.

So how much were your lessons at Bollettieri?

 

[Lendl and Federer Fan]

It is nowhere near as much as I paid for to hit with Lendl at the charity events.

 

[Thaychua]

Time for another meet up guys? I think the weather is permitting.

 

[MomentumGT]

Weather looks good for this weekend. AlpineCadet's wrist doesn't look as good tho'.

-Jon

 

[DNShade]

I'm up for a hit as well. Any ideas where? Burbank Tennis Center? UCLA? Ideas?

 

[Thaychua]

Spring break is here. I am down for this Sunday. Let's make it happen.

What happened to Alpine?

Too much m3 hurt my wrist All that torque/hp has been killing me! Oh, that and using dead poly. 262ft-lbs/333hp/55lbs luxilon FTW!

 

[Rickson]

Momentum, are you an Asian dude?

 

[AlpineCadet]

Come to LA and have an MMA match with him to find out?

 

[Rickson]

No full mma. Rolling only.

 

[gooberwho]

I love how no one's bothered to name a location and time despite all the new posts..

 

[Rickson]

The courts where the Williams sisters used to play.

 

[skraggle]

I love how no one's bothered to name a location and time despite all the new posts..

They do that so I won't find out and show up.

 

[MomentumGT]

Momentum, are you an Asian dude?

A big fat Filipino to be exact. LOL.

-Jon

 

[Rickson]

Cool, man. Don't eat too much balut. The cholesterol will get you.

 

[Lendl and Federer Fan]

Don't worry, we want you to come if you can handle the heat from AC and honor our rules; and I personally like animals, so bring your cute cat or dog along! :lol:

AC is still recovering from the bagels. :wink:

It is too late to set up anything for this week or even next week. I don’t know about you guys, but I am not going back to GP; it is too difficult to accommodate these many people there. How about we meet at some nice and quiet high school courts around L.A. next time? My shoulder is about 95% healthy now, so I want to play some singles instead of doubles next time.

 

[Lendl and Federer Fan]

Cool, man. Don't eat too much balut. The cholesterol will get you.

Rick, I like that avatar of yours. Bruce Lee is the real deal, too bad he died too soon/early.

 

[AlpineCadet]

AC is still recovering from the bagels. :wink:

Huh? I haven't been bageled in ages.

Also:

AC, you should mention that you almost bageled me in one set.

 

[onehandbh]

Mmmm. Bagels are delicious! I love bagels with lots of cream cheese and
lox and avocados.

Busy moving to a new place, so probably can't make it.

 

[Rickson]

L/F fan, the good die young.

 

[Lendl and Federer Fan]

True, that is why I want to be obnoxious sometimes.
