25th Annual "BilyBOB"
Century Cup!
The
25th Annual "BillyBOB" Century Cup was a tremendous success!
Over 170 players participated in 15 different combined age draws of
Men's, Women's, and Mixed doubles. Players came from over a dozen
states across the nation and the BillyBOB has even gone international
with players arriving from the Bahamas, Switzerland and Canada to get in
on the action.
Several former tour players including Jolene Watanabe-Giltz and Sarah
Riske-McGlamery entered the event as well as outstanding Collegiate
players including Tammi Zawacki and Justin Chapman. In all, the level
of play at this year’s BillyBOB was nothing short of “incredible” and
the energetic crowd was entertained from the first round to the finals.
This
year’s players party was one of the biggest ever hosted by South Beach.
Over 200 people enjoyed dinner provided by our presenting sponsor, The
Salty Dog Café. Dancing followed on court 1 to the sounds of one of
Savannah's best bands, The Blue-sonics.
South
Beach would like to thank our sponsors, The Salty Dog Cafe, Coastal
States Bank, and Harris Teeter for their generosity during this year’s
event. And of course, we want to thank those of you who attended,
making this the best BillyBOB ever…
Mark your calendar early for the 2011 BillyBOB: April 22,23,& 24

SBRC Doubles Championship!
Played this past weekend, the Doubles Championship matches were sunny,
cool, and thrilling to watch! Men's and Women's Doubles Teams competed
in four levels.
Ladies 3.0 Finals
saw a well-played match between upstarts Lisa Groff and Carole Ann
O'Connell against former Club Champions Jan England and Marilyn Watson.
Jan and Marilyn prevailed. In fact, they're still celebrating!
3.5
Ladies featured
former Club Champs Barb Becker and Carol Tucker against Barb Pfeiffer
and Betsy Davison. Barb and Betsy jumped to an early lead and never
looked back - winning in straight sets!
Men's
3.5
was a round robin format. The winning team would have to overcome two
strong opponents to win the hardware. Bryce Elkins and Mark Boyle were
up to the challenge as they won both matches - the latter being a 3-set
nail-biter!
4.0
Men's
also played a round robin. Avenging their 2009 Finals defeat, Keith
Hutcheson and Don Sigmon won their two matches on their way to the 2010
title!
We
realize this is a very busy USTA season and thank each of you for
participating. By all accounts, we'll be seeing more of you vying for
the 2011 title and taking your place on the Pro Shop's "Wall of Fame!"
Rally For The Cure!
BRRrrr! The
threat of snow and very cold weather kept over half our registered
players from this event. However, we successfully raised $520: $300
from the attendees and a matching $220 from Don and Rachel for all those
who wore Pink, Red, or White! |
