Maintenance Director Having lived in Pickering since 1985, I’d often thought about joining Glendale Tennis Club, to improve a sport I’d played recreationally since my teens. In fact my first date with a cute young lady I met at Ontario Place was a game of tennis. We married and continued recreational tennis until the kids arrived. We finally decided to get more serious about the game in 2015 and took some lessons with Brian at GTC. I’ve always been a Mr Fix It and so stepped up as Maintenance Director a year later. GTC has always been a great place with a fun membership who share a passion for tennis. Sometimes I wish I’d joined sooner, but no regrets, just happy to help out, meet good people of all ages, and enjoy a challenging and fun sport.

Secretary and Social Director A longtime married resident of Pickering; mother of three daughters and a recently retired professional.
In 2015, while looking to participate in a new “to me” sport, I joined the Glendale tennis club for lessons with Head Pro Brian Hurd. After an initial assessment by Brian, who stated, “ I can see all of your previous sports were linear in nature”, which was true, (running; cycling; swimming and skiing), I learned over time to turn and bend and hit a tennis ball with enthusiasm. It’s never too late to find a new passion sport and along with it, enjoy meeting new friends; competing and volunteering on the executive to help maintain a well run fun-filled tennis experience for all ages! |
