AUM PRO-AM AND CLINIC WAS AWESOME!!
It was a special weekend for all of us here at Franco's! The AUM Men's and Ladies Team's were awesome and so were all of our members who played in the weekend event. We started off Friday afternoon and evening as the men played against William Carey College and then Xavier University winning both matches decisively. During this we also got to watch a great mixed doubles match on the clay with our own Therina Steenkamp and Bruce Smith VS John Ballard and Maru Brito, who is the assistant coach for AUM and a former Clemson All American. Then John played a grinding match with one of the AUM players and it was spectacular tennis!
Saturday morning started with a pro-am with each member getting their own AUM player as their partner for the whole morning. There were some serious battles followed by even more serious trash talking! When this was over, the AUM coaches did station drilling for all of the adults and each group had 2 or 3 AUM players assigned to their group.
We finished with a 1-point tournament won by AUM Head Coach, Scott Kidd! We ate together in the grill afterward to finish off a great morning!
Then the kids came out for a clinic with the coaches and players in the afternoon. I must say that this was the best and most fun clinic I have ever done with college coaches and players. They did a magnificent job and our kids were amazing!
Special thank you's go out to all of those who participated and made it such a great event! See pictures from the event at the "photo gallery" on the left side menu!
