July was an exciting month on the courts, beginning with our Fourth of July Tennis Round Robin and followed by the Pickleball Mountain Round Robin. Both events brought members together for spirited competition, great sportsmanship, and plenty of fun as we celebrated the holiday and the height of the summer season.
A major highlight of the month was the Sixth Annual Grieco Senior Invitational, a prestigious multi-day senior men's doubles tournament sponsored by the National Senior Men's Tennis Association (NSMTA). Internationally recognized player Noble Hendrix, working alongside our Racquet Sports Team, welcomed an outstanding field of competitors to Hound Ears. Players traveled from South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, and across North Carolina to compete in the 70, 75, and 80 age divisions, showcasing an impressive level of skill, sportsmanship, and camaraderie throughout the tournament.
As we move further into the summer, our tennis and pickleball programs continue to offer something for everyone from competitive match play and organized events to casual games with friends. Whether you're a longtime player or looking to pick up a racquet for the first time, we invite you to join us on the courts and be part of the vibrant racquet sports community that makes Hound Ears such a special place.
