Dear Fellow Members:

Greetings to the U.S. court tennis community. As I conclude my third year as your President, I do so on a sad note with the passing last year of our good friend, H. Dickson S. Boenning. Dick was the first President of the U.S. Court Tennis Preservation Greg Van Schaack (USCTA President) Foundation, and genuine friend of our game. To all who knew him, Dick was the consummate gentleman-sportsman; easy to work with and always displaying a positive, upbeat attitude. These characteristics will be remembered annually by the continued awarding of the Boenning Sportsmanship Award for which Dick’s family has reiterated their ongoing support and for which we thank them very much. Dick is truly Steve Virgona Photo by Michael Do missed by his many friends, admirers, and the court tennis family at large. in a very positive direction.

H. Dickson S. Boenning November 18, 1919 - October 28, 2011

There is much one could say about Dick Boenning. From his self-effacing yet extremely effective leader- ship style to his wonderful courtly manner and kind disposition, he was without peer. Among the most tell- ing things about Dick is simply what he managed to bring out in others by mere example. Whether it was creating a new tie for the Racquet Club of Philadelphia (Percival 1987), or starting the Foundation, he had a way of inspiring others to rise to their highest potential merely by the example set by his own actions.

When a tax exempt organization needed to be created to hold monies raised through the Clothier/Martin Fund, then held at the International Tennis Hall of Haven Pell, Dick Boenning & Jonathan Pardee Photo By John Corbett Fame, it was Dick Boenning who got it done.

Page 11 USCTA History of the USCTA The first reference to tennis in the Americas extant in the historical record is a decree against playing tennis on Sundays, issued by the Governor of New Amsterdam, Peter Stuyvesant, on October 26, 1656. The centuries that followed were replete with further proof that some version of the “game of kings” was being played in North America. In October 1876, exactly a year and a half after the newly invented game of lawn tennis came to these shores, Hollis Hunnewell and Nathaniel Thayer opened the first bona fide court tennis facility on Buckingham Street in Boston. Over the course of the next 120 years, 18 more courts were built; today there are ten active courts in the US, the oldest in Newport (1880) and the youngest in Chicago (2012).

The United States Court Tennis Association, under the leadership of its first president William L. Van Alen, initially convened on January 30, 1955 in New York. Prior to that time there was no central authority to regulate, promote, and preserve the game in the United States. Indeed, when the Laws USCTA 50s Double Championship Medal Photo by Michael Do of Tennis in America were first adopted on New Year’s Day 1934, just three clubs – The Racquet & Tennis Club, The Racquet Club of Philadelphia, and The Tennis & Racquet AMATEUR TENNIS Club – were signatories. The Association also encourages top flight amateur play. It began publishing a list of the Top 25 U.S. Amateur Players in ADMINISTRATION 2004 in order to stimulate competition and increase the level Besides the promulgation of tennis rules, which were revised of play, particularly among mid to upper level players.

Page 25 USCTA 2011 Inductees: Penny Lumley & Robert Whitehouse By James Zug

Two people were inducted into the International Court Tennis Hall of Fame. Penny Fellows Lumley, MBE became the second woman to enter the Hall (Betsey Whitney was the first in 1995) and one of the greatest female players in the history of tennis. She won the ladies’ world championship singles six times and doubles seven times. (Two years before winning her first world title she lost 6-0, 6-0 in the quarters of the world championships.) As the dominant woman in the 1990s, she got her handicap down to a 10.3, the lowest ever for a woman at the time. Penny won the British ladies’ singles twelve times and the doubles ten times; in the U.S. she won six ladies’ singles, six doubles (with Evelyn David, Fiona Deuchar and Jo Iddles) and one U.S. mixed (with Kip Curren).

The twenty-sixth inductee into the Hall was also its youngest, forty-two year-old Robert Whitehouse. The head pro at the Racquet Club of Philadelphia, Rob grew up in the East Falls, Penny Lumley Hall of Fame Inductee Photo by Michael Do PA neighborhood. His Uncle is Ed Noll, who brought Rob into the club as an assistant on the fourth floor in 1983 when he was a freshman at Roman Catholic High. He worked for four years there, thus becoming the last of a very long and distinguished line of pros who were mentored (and growled at) by Jimmy Dunn. In 1990 during his junior year at West Chester University, Rob was asked by Noll if he wanted to come back to RCOP as an assistant pro.

During his quarter century of service in Philadelphia, Rob has coached eight Whitney Cup winning sides and taught many hundreds of people the game of tennis. As a player he has won the Jimmy Dunn doubles six times, been a finalist once at the Pell Cup, and has captained the Philadelphia team to victory in the National League. Having played in seventeen U.S. Opens, he once reached the finals of the Open doubles. His best handicap was a 1.7. In squash doubles, Rob has also been a top player, reaching the finals of prestigious invitationals like the Gold Racquets, the William White and the Silver Racquets.

Call me Jimmy. Call the members ‘Sir.’” You chirp: to teach lawn tennis for just the summer. “I was supposed “Yes, sir.” to be here for six months but I lost my car keys and am still here,” he said.

People Person from Roman. I started at the Racquet Club in Philadelphia in 1972. I was fifteen, at Roman Catholic High. My first tournament Dunny didn’t like a lot of guys but he liked Tommy. Tommy in New York, Tommy was working at the R&T and he was was smart and had ability. And he goofed on Dunn and that very helpful. He was always helpful, giving advice. He’d helped, I think. notice something on court: “You’ve got a ball like this, give a thought to hitting this shot.” He had his radio ball, snake I don’t know where all the years have gone. That is how ball, all these names for “shot.” much fun it is. You’ve got to be a people person. That is what Tommy is. Tommy wasn’t a hard hitter. He was finesse. Almost all the guys under Dunn were finesse guys, except maybe Eddie Noll. —Jimmy Burke, head professional, Tennis & Racquet Club. Tommy had a great cut volley off the return of serve. He’d get it down and make it worse than a yard. He had severe bite The Court Came First on his railroad. He’d play off-speed shots into the tambour. In the beginning, he did a lot of work.

Tommy knew how to match up the players for had his own group of ladies who adored him. He encouraged the doubles, fitting the right personalities together. Once them. He’d just size you up and knew what your personality the Gold Racquets weekend began, everyone wanted to talk was. Everyone was taught differently. Tom did it according to to Tommy. He’d walk out of the marker’s box and everyone you. He individualized. He worked to enhance what aspects wanted a piece of him. In prime time on Saturday afternoon, he could. He was an instant friend. he’d get swallowed up, all these guys wanting to talk with him, catch up, wanting to hear some stories. He was very The court came first. He was there till all hours. If you called good at that. The first time Greevy missed a Gold Racquets at 7pm, just when he was going out the door, he’s say, “Oh, was the year Marge died. I ran it with a couple of other pros. I’ll be here for a while, come on down.” It was awful. —Lucy Edwards, longtime Tuxedo Club member Eddie and Tommy were so secretive about their birthdays. You had to guess by figuring when he might have graduated A Natural Teacher I grew up at Tuxedo from the age of twelve, but I never ventured into the Tennis House. Once Tommy arrived, I met him while I was playing lawn tennis. He said, “I bet you can’t wait for court tennis season to start.” “Why do you say that?” “You have a natural court tennis stroke.” “I do?” Once I went into the Tennis House, I never played lawn tennis again. After a couple of lessons, he threw me into a doubles match at Philadelphia. We won the match and I was hooked.

He’s got the same, wry sense of humor. He played a lot of practical jokes. He’d call Eddie Noll to enter two English players in some draw, some made-up names like “oh, yeah, a guy named Squeezer. Chick Squeezer.” Eddie really bit on it.

Tommy related very well to the players. Positive psychology.

World- class competitors like Gene Scott and Lauchie Deuchar would come to Tuxedo to fine tune their game with Tommy and to add finesse to their power-forcing styles. Tommy was at his best, however, introducing the game to novices and nurturing the commitment to the game by average club players. Greeves, as he is called by many, always had a unique ability to simplify the mysteries of the court and scoring for the young players so they saw it as fun rather than baffling. Tommy had easy and successful techniques to teach the fundamentals of the game. Through his patience, class and humor, he also taught sportsmanship and love of the game.

The National Tennis Club continues to prosper and thrive in its little city of just 25,000 souls. Unlike many other courts, we benefit from two rich and busy seasons. In the wintertime the club hosts leagues, tournaments and championships like every other venue; in the summer we welcome not just our summer and non-resident members but also a great many U.S. Pro Winner Camden Riviere with Ross Cann, Greg Van Schaack , Rich Smith & Photo by Melissa Quintal visitors during events including the U.S. Pro Singles, Newport Jay Schochet Handicap Doubles, the Velvet Rope, and Pell Cup, whom we host with gracious hospitality.

Usually held around Halloween, this year’s “Retro” theme brought out some extraordinary looks of the 1950s, ‘60s, ‘70s, and ‘80s.

Two continuing events carried through the majority of the winter season: Night League and Lunchtime Eights. Night League is team tennis leading to an end of season play off. The year was neck and neck with different teams taking the lead as large numbers of fellow team members cheered from the Sky Boxes overlooking the court while consuming lavish buffets. In the end Frank Oliveira captained his team The Chourice Force back from last place in the regular season all the way to the Playoff Championship, beating Petra’s Pirates, Spectators at the U.S. Pro playing for the Schochet The Tambourines, and the regular season champion team Photo by Melissa Quintal Paisan’s Victory in the finals.

Of all of our many events perhaps the greatest tennis play occurs each year during the U.S. Pro Singles for the Schochet Cup. This year the NTC welcomed many of the top world ranked players as part of the annual tournament and the quality of play was, as always, remarkably high. Camden Riviere, the winner of the two previous years, overcame world #2 Steve Virgona in the semifinal round to reach the finals against Bryn Sayers, playing in his first finals of what has become a major fixture in the IRTPA calendar.

Lakewood, NJ (1899) Georgian Court By James Zug

This was a breakthrough season at Lakewood. A couple of years spent nurturing our relationship with Georgian Court University finally paid off, and in the fall of 2011 we made significant progress with several key decision-makers within the school community, including fruitful alignments with the athletic director, the director of intramural sports, the chairperson of physical education department, the soccer coach and the tennis coach. The result was that court tennis became an official part of the GCU’s intramural program. 2011 Georgian Court Invitational Photo by Ken Forton We presented tennis at the freshman intramural orientation day, put on an exhibition match for the incoming first- year students, (led by Gabe Kinzler and Racquet Club of Philadelphia stalwarts), and we exhibited at the GCU Club Day. All these marketing efforts yielded fifty students signing up to be a part of the GCU Court Tennis Club.

In late September we began holding weekly clinics as a regular intramural activity. The pro was Neil Smith, who agreed to drive more than four hours round-trip every Tuesday to conduct the hour-long clinics. Over the year, Neil did about twenty of these clinics and about fifteen students dropped in at various times for the clinics, with a core of maybe a half dozen undergraduates that showed up most weeks. It was exciting to finally have GCU students playing and solving for their friends the mystery of what that strange court in the Casino was. We also had a nice article in the spring 2012 issue of Georgian Court University Magazine, which reported on our activities - “Court Tennis Clinics Introduce Rare Sport to New Generation” read the headline.

In April, we had our first challenge match pitting GCU Schuyler Wickes Photo by Michael Do against RCOP down at the Racquet Club, where the Lions captured the Jock Whitney Intercollegiate Trophy in fine style.

Two tournaments were held at Lakewood this season. In September, for the third year in a row, seventeen players from Boston and Washington met halfway at Lakewood. The event, now called the Lakewood Invitational, has grown to include players from RCOP and Newport and is now providing a great launch to the tennis season. The popular Jay Gould tournament came off in May, with teams from Philadelphia, Newport, Boston and Tuxedo playing under the watchful eye of Gabe Kinzler.

Tuxedo Park (1900) Tuxedo Club By Dan Laukitis

Court tennis is thriving in Tuxedo. Head Professional Tim Chisholm has been a boon to all five racquet sports at Tuxedo and has done a remarkable job of recruiting new players and keeping them on court regularly. He and Assistant Professional Tony Hollins tirelessly ply the slate with Tuxedoans at all levels. And as always Reverend Greevy’s devotees are always eager for a lesson, wise word, or amusing historical anecdote. The 2011-2012 season included a number of USCTA events including the Hadden Tomes and Gold Racquets, the U.S. 60s, and the inaugural Jonathan Larken - Gold Racquets Champion Photo by Michael Do AB Martin Cup, as well as the club championships and a variety of less formal competitions.

But, having just won the Racquets Singles Championship, Larken turned his sights to tennis and trojaned past Sonne and Meringoff to put himself in position to play for his second cup of the tournament. But he’d have to outduel the top ranked U.S. player Pat Winthrop who had warmed up in victories over Pell, Gould, and previous champion Devereux. Gold Racquets has seen some epic Finals in recent years and this year’s proved to be one for the books.

Aiken, SC (1903) Aiken Tennis Club By Dacre Stoker

In September, Dacre Stoker, tennis chair, took on the role of teaching professional.

Members rotate responsibilities to cook, or to bring prepared foods, to serve anywhere from eight to over twenty regulars who have come to really enjoy this event. A nice selection of wines is always served and socializing continues well into the night and sometimes spills over to nearby bars.

The Honeck Bisque Doubles, our annual inter-club team doubles event, held in January, is played in memory of Hank Honeck. To honor Hank’s love of the “bisque”, we utilize a bisque or a half bisque in addition to handicapping the matches. As usual, a wide variety of players participated in this spirited event. The winning team included: Robert Cook, Charlie Bostwick, Duncan Rutherfurd Jr, Ginny Goodyear, and Zach Harrington. Northrup Knox - Jeremy Wintersteen, Lex Miron, Rick Preston, Clayton Vaughters & Jason Mengel Photo by Aiken In April, the Knox Doubles attracted a large field of 16 teams. Each team played a round robin schedule of three matches in four pools. The top two teams in each pool advanced

Page 40 2011-2012 Annual Report to the quarterfinal round, winners then advanced to the semifinals and then to the finals on Sunday afternoon. As usual, the social committee, headed by Michael Sullivan, put on wonderful social and dinner events throughout the weekend. Spectators enjoyed many close matches. The first semi final was an all Aiken event, Clayton Vaughters and Jason Mengel ended Rakesh Jasani and Ben Cook’s quest for three consecutive Knox titles with a 6-1, 6-3 victory. The second semifinal was another entertaining three set match. Lex Miron and Jeremy Wintersteen defeated Morgan Purvis and Gary Swantner 6-5, 4-6, 6-3, setting up a rematch from pool play earlier in the week.

In the finals Vaughters and Mengel jumped out to an early 5-0 lead before taking the first set 6-2. Miron and Wintersteen then changed the strategy that they used up to this point in the tournament. At the beginning of the second set, Lex moved back and Jeremy began to defend the galleries. The move paid off and they won the second set 6-4. The third set was a battle with Miron and Wintersteen jumping out to a 4-2 lead. Vaughters and Mengel dug in and came back to win three games in a row to go ahead 5-4. Experience then took over and Lex and Jeremy repeatedly found the dedans and won the next two games in spectacular fashion to claim the title 6-5 in the third set. It was a successful first trip to Aiken for Miron, and Wintersteen adds the 2012 championship to go with his victory in 2009. The galleries were constantly full and the social events were well attended. Camden Riviere and Wayne Davies were generous with their time, offering great coaching and advice in between marking matches and serving as tournament officials.

John Harte, John Haddon and Duncan Rutherfurd have reinvigorated our members by conducting teaching clinics in the little known sport of bottle pool. As a result of the increased interest many new players have become regular players, while the more seasoned players have found good reason to dust off their cues. Club Championships are being played retroactively, Duncan Rutherfurd narrowly edged out Morgan Milner to win the 2010 Championship, 2011 and 2012 Championships will be contested later this year.

Over the past year, the Club has added six new members: Bobby Hottensen, Martin Whitmer, Tom Francoline, Tom Matthews, Morgan Purvis, and Robert Glance. At the same time we have lost a few members, which has kept our total membership at 90.

As ever, the year went better at Prince’s Court than it did just about anywhere else inside the Beltway! We enjoyed strong leadership from club president Christopher Hughey, unflagging support from stalwart founders and former presidents, continued excellence from pros Ivan Ronaldson and Phil Shannon, and loads of enthusiasm from all our members. We hosted seven competitions this year, beginning with the National Open in November. With our newly refinished floor shining brightly, top local players did their best to compete with the eight visiting pros. Against them, Rich Moroscak won a match and then a set, Danny McBride won a set, and Phil Shannon played one of the best sets of his life! Steve Virgona climbed to the top of the hill, defeating Mike Gooding in the final.

We raised a glass to Ryan Carey for his amazing web streaming and creative tennis accomplishments throughout the year. We welcomed Temple Grassi’s new knees, grateful for the miracle of modern medicine and Tylenol. We celebrated Fred and Diana Prince with a luncheon exhibition match, and recognized their foundational contribution to the club. We even welcomed former squash World Champion, Jon Power, to the game for his first time on court! (He was a very quick study). In addition, our Whitney Cup players welcomed Marty Hublitz to the team’s senior division, where he demonstrated a pace of play usual for a much younger man. Continuing the tradition of enthusiastic and personable assistants, Sergio Lopez and Adrian Camacho filled in on several occasions when Ivan was called elsewhere. We also welcomed Lewis Williams, recruited by Ivan to fill some of the many pairs of shoes left behind by Phil Shannon. Lewis quickly fit in, and is already adding much to the Prince’s Court community. With more changes on the way, and hope for a great future, we look forward to Prince’s Court’s fifteenth birthday in October!

Page 82 2011-2012 Annual Report USCTA Membership Report 2011-2012

Membership totals in the past five years are as follows: 2008- 706, 2009-720, 2010-732, 2011- 711. We lost a total of 99 members from last year, but we gained 62 new players, and 16 returned to active status after being previous members. The USCTA and the USCTPF have been investigating a more streamlined approach to utilize the RTO system to assist with signing up and renewing USCTA memberships. At present we are beholden to every club to solicit memberships and to capture annual dues. Each club has a slightly different billing cycle therefore dues are collected and sent to the USCTA treasurer between September and February. Since our tournaments start in early fall we usually do not have a complete USCTA membership roster until half way thru the season. This makes it difficult to verify which players are paid up members of the USCTA when they play in USCTA national events. Dacre Stoker (Membership Secretary) It would be very helpful if all clubs agreed to bill for USCTA membership in late summer and get the completed list to the USCTA by November 1st. In the mean time we have instituted on-line membership purchases, so if a player wants to sign up independently of their clubs billing cycle they can do so. In addition, a club rep or tournament organizer can ask if a player who enters a USCTA tournament is paid up or not, he/she can request that the player sign up on the spot using a credit card for payment if necessary. New and continuing Initiatives for the 2012-13 Season 1. Continued growth of USCTA membership 2. Continue to attempt to reconcile differences in numbers between any “active” US-based RTO members and those billed by the eight clubs – while efforts have been made to reconcile these lists at the individual club levels, it still appears there are RTO users who get the benefit of this system without paying USCTA dues, so this gap should be closed. 3. Continued outreach to the USCTA membership – demonstrate what they get for their annual dues 4. Continue efforts at the club level to introduce new players to the game (using the “Short History of Real Tennis” brochures and other effort – such as clinics), and integrate these new players into the USCTA membership 5. Continue to impress upon all of the clubs to complete their billing cycles, and to forward to the USCTA the lists of current members by November 1st of each year. 6. All tournament organizers need to be more diligent to check to see if all competitors in National events are paid up members of the USCTA. 7. Explore the possibility of billing our members directly thru the RTO system. This could have some merit if we have accurate email addresses, and would help close the gap between membership information held by the USCTA and the RTO systems.

Respectfully submitted, Dacre S. Stoker Membership Chairman

When you want to get away, think of Starrsville Plantation. It’s far enough to be “away”, but only an hour from Atlanta so you won’t spend too much of your freetime getting there.
