TIP OF THE MONTH BY TOM MAR
Improve your overall game by pre-planning your shots
Most players do everything at the last moment. As the ball is coming towards them, they stare at it (like a deer in the head lights) waiting for the ball to bounce before making any kind of move. Then suddenly, after the ball bounces, they franticly take the racket back and swing recklessly at the ball and pray it goes in.
That's what I call a double "H" player (hit and hope). That's the same mentality people have when they go to Vegas and lose money.
HERE’S THE TIP - If you want more success with your tennis game, you need to think and act more like a successful business person. Be prepared and know what your going to do, before you do it. Pre-plan your shot in your head as the ball is approaching. This will force you to prepare your racket early and set your feet and body appropriate to the shot you plan on hitting. As a result, you will become a calmer, more accurate player, as opposed to a double "H" player and come out a winner.

Please follow club rules
We have had several problematic situations resulting from patrons not following court rules. Booking consecutive hours, hopping from court to court, refusing to leave the court when the hour is up, or not checking in or refusing to pay fees are some examples. Keep in mind that in order for everyone to enjoy these popular, beautiful tennis courts, we must all follow club rules. The system is designed for busy clubs like ours and only works if everyone respects the system. Thank you for cooperating and let's all have a good time.

Please contact the number on the machine or call the City of Miami Beach for North Shore and Flamingo Park Tennis Center or The Point of Aventura management for the tennis courts at The Point.
