HPTA Tennis Valentine Mixer By Mike Lawver, Director of Tennis and Pickleball mlawver@hpgcc.com On February 12, HP held our annual HPTA Valentine Tennis Mixer. There were 20 couples participating in five rounds of fun-loving doubles from 8 – 10 a.m. After the tennis play was completed, all players received a sweetheart treat of some candy and fireball whisky. Also, seven prizes of wine and pro shop gift certificates were raffled off to our luckiest members. This year we chose not to report scores, so everyone was a winner! Between The Palms
