In-house doubles — Notes
A few holes to fill (see items with green background). And, some openings for web bookings (grey background).
Anyone wishing to take a spot that is open, please do not call Lynn — do call someone in the foursome.
If you have not done so recently, please update/confirm the days of the week you prefer, or are able, to play. Player preferences, as used for the January 26th schedule, are available on-line.
If any groups decide not to play, please notifiy Rob Forrest, or Dana Merritt so that the court may be freed for web booking.
If you are unable to make your match, you are responsible for arranging a replacement. Lynn doesn't mind giving a hand in the search; but, it is your responsibility.
Be in touch with those in your foursome and avoid no shows.

General Doubles — Notes
Rules Clinic (hosted at Evergreen)
If you play doubles or are thinking about playing doubles you really should attend this clinic. Bob Smart and Brian Covernton will be presenting. They are very personable and have an enormous amount of experience on court as well as in the referee's chair. The discussion is always lively as "experts" trade views and sometimes seem to have read different rule books!
For $20, which includes eats before and during the breaks, it is a bargain.
In-house doubles — Want to join in?
Let Lynn Broman (Lynn Broman) know if you wish to be included. Please, specify wall, and preferred days (Monday, Tuesday, and/or Thursday).
Evergreen Squash Club — Fun Fast Fit
Extend your squash life!
An Evergreen Squash Club membership is one terrific value.
Been playing singles for a few years, and starting to feel a little slower, or not quite as youthful. Perhaps, not quite as fit as one once was. Then, I believe, doubles squash is what you are looking for.
Still fit enough to get on court, have good racquet skills, and able to anticipate your opponent's next shot, then you have what it takes to become a good doubles player. If you have always depended on your speed to compensate for your less than stellar skills, you should likely avoid the doubles court.
I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how much enjoyment you will get out of the game. Don't have a doubles court at your club? Join Evergreen, either as a full member (so you can keep playing singles), or as a "doubles only" member, and keep the membership at your current club.
