TENNIS NEWS
2021 SPRING JUNIOR TENNIS PROGRAM Tennis is a lifetime sport and if learned properly provides healthy recreation and social enjoyment. Over the past several years our junior program has really advanced. We have many juniors that have developed a true passion for tennis. The staff has designed what we think is a successful blueprint for junior development: • If kids have fun at tennis class they come back. • If kids come back long enough they will develop better skills. • If kids develop better skills they will become good tennis players. The staff at Turtle Point will work hard to see that your child develops good skills and proper stroke mechanics. We hope you will join us in the Spring 2021 Junior Program. The spring program will accommodate all juniors ages 4 and up. The first week of instruction will be March 1st. Everyone will receive 6 weeks of lessons, games and drills. TENNIS APPRENTICE This has become an incredible program for our area over the past 4 years. It is so much fun and beneficial to start the game of tennis with a group of people similar in ability. Tennis Apprentice is a 6 week beginner program on Monday evenings at 6:30 pm. This program is run through the USTA. Each participant will receive a free racket and their 1st year of USTA dues. The 2021 program will start the 1st or 2nd Monday in April. Call to be added to our contact list and be sure to encourage others to join the fun.
SAN DESTIN TENNIS TRIP This should be a fantastic tennis trip that everyone can
attend. Scheduled for April 15-18. San Destin bills this
as the Dream Team Tennis Getaway.
The tentative schedule would look something like this:
• Friday - 2 hour tennis clinic and 2 hours of match play
• Saturday – 2 hour tennis clinic and 2 hours of
match play
• Sunday – Optional 2 hour round robin
The Tennis package is $325 per person. We will take
reservations for the tennis clinics and then work out
accommodations which you pay for yourself. The San
Destin Hilton and TOPSL Resort Condos will work for
everyone. These locations are very close together and
right on the water. Call for more information.

CATERING CORNER
Covid-19 has been really hard on everyone this year – including our special events. Turtle Point is closing out the month of December with fewer Christmas parties than ever in history due to this pandemic. We strive daily to keep Turtle Point a safe and clean place for members to enjoy. Thanks to everyone who was able to still have their special event at the club. This year looks promising for gathering together again. Looking forward to kicking it off with events like our annual Seafood Buffet Night – formerly Cape Cod, Valentine’s Dinner, Wine tasting, and Commodores Ball. Don't forget Easter April 04, 2021. The Easter Bunny will be hopping around the club. Check your email for more information. Always remember big or small events give Ms. Altha a call. "Wishing You and Your Family a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year"

Phil Lyons • Commodore
As we put 2020 in our wake, we can all agree that it has
been a difficult year. Looking forward we can only
hope for better days. On a positive note we had the
oportunity to welcome new boaters to our marina.
Boating is a great way to relax, distance and enjoy the
beauty of our water ways. Going into 2021, our marina is full and we will
begin our much needed maintanence projects soon. We ask that all
boaters be patient with us as we make these improvements. If anyone has
any maintanence issues with their slips, please contact me or the front
office so we can
include them
in this project.
I hope everyone
will mark you
calenders for
March 20th and
plan to attend
our 2021
Commodores
Ball. We all
hope things will
get back to
normal by the
spring and we
can start
scheduling our
Boater's
Weekend and
other acitivities
at the marina.
