2017 Turkey Tennis Social
TURKEY TENNIS
Gobblers were the winners this Thanksgiving
Members of the Woodland Tennis Club gathered together for a Thanksgiving Social at City Park on Friday November 18. The 22 players were assembled into three teams and took to the courts in a holiday themed tennis round robin. The teams, aptly named the Wild Turkeys, Gobblers and Cranberries divided members into pairs to play each other in men’s doubles, women’s doubles, mixed doubles and, in true holiday tradition, had one court of the leftovers- available players from the teams that were not slotted into other spots. The tennis format was introduced and organized by Joyce McNeill who also was the captain of the winning team – the Gobblers (pictured below). Xiao Krebs and Marcail McWilliams matched up for women’s dubs. Nick Pohls anchored the leftovers court while Joyce McNeil and Zack Snow stuck together for mixed doubles. Thomas Clemens and Lars Miller paired as a dynamic men’s duo – the winning formula for the night! The evening and beer were cold, the tennis was fierce and fun and the food was plentiful and delicious. Everyone who participated received a Thanksgiving related prize – celebratory sparkling cider and a corkscrew for the winners, cranberries and wooden spoons for the runners up and a box of stuffing and a turkey baster – for the third place team that was “stuffed” by the competition. Special thanks to all of the members of the Woodland tennis family that make these wonderful events possible and to Floyd and Elaine for all their work sheparding the tennis socials along all year!
