We'll send out the search party.

Haha, ditto.

Was good to meet all you guys but 4 of us going for 3.5 hours is near suicidal (especially at our age!

). Was fun and hopefully the we'll have more out the next time.

To quote BTO, "We love to work at nothing all day".

Good timing I think...

Wow, 3.5 hrs?! You guys sure got your money's worth!

I think we counted 19 games. Suffice to say we were walking funny afterwards. Too bad you couldn't join us.

Maybe you could come out for the next meet & greet whenever that is. And whomever can organize it. Not me*

Some general comments about BV.

Courts #1 and #2 (closest to the front door) are pretty bad during a sunny daytime drop-in. If you are facing the foyer...you will lose sight of the shuttle at times. It was like staring at the sun. We switched to the back corner court (#12). It was better. Maybe it's just me but the courts felt hard. But keep in mind that I was out-of-shape as I pulled up lame (leg cramps) so that may have affected my perception.

Was looking forward to having lunch at the mezz but it was closed for the day. Cuz they be getting booze soon

. That's a "+" in my books.

Pro shop was tiny. But they have a demo racket program which is great. Try before you buy kinda thing.

Bathroom/change rooms are top-notch. Gotta remember to bring a padlock and use one of their many lockers. And bring small toiletries and bath towel to take advantage of the showers there.
