II am pleased to say it has been a very busy time at Kenwood over these last few months.

The Easter weekend was possibly thebusiest we have ever had; it was wonderfulso many members and guest were using thefacilities and joining in the events. OurMother’s Day was a busy weekend too. Sothank you all for attending these events.

I mention almost monthly to pleasemake reservations, in advance, for most bigevents to avoid disappointment. Leaving ituntil the week of, will usually mean that theseating time you would ideally like will befull. You may make reservations withDebbie or on line. Either way, you will begiven a confirmation number so pleasebring this with you.

The Fitness facility is in full swing andbeing well utilized, but we have alreadyencountered some problems with productsbeing taken, a hair dryer removed andsomeone decorating the men’s locker roomwith talc. Also, please do not leave yourbags on the floor in the locker rooms asyou may be inviting trouble; there are daylockers that will ensure the safety of yourbelongings.

We are one week away from havingKenwood in full swing. We still haveseveral design issues to implement withregards the outdoor dining but, hopefully,they will be complete within the first fewweeks of June. It is this time of year that we

employee many people; our “summerpersonnel” without whose help we couldnot fully function for the summer. I ask youto please be patient with them; they arehere to assist us and it usually takes a weekor so for them to find their stride and tofind there way around the Club. Should youencounter any problems, please seek aManager on Duty to assist you and do nottake up your problem with the employee.

I wish you all a fun, sun-filled, safesummer.

See you around the clubhouse.Bill Worrell, Club Managerbill@kenwoodcc.net ★

HH ave you walked through thetrophy room located in the Clubhouse recently? If you

have not, please do so and take particularnotice of a plaque titled the “KenwoodHonor Roll.” The plaque, donated inrecognition of the many contributions oftime and service made by a well-known andrespected member of the Kenwood Golfand Country Club, Mr. Robert “Bob”McMinn.

The Honor Roll plaque provides ourmembers the opportunity to commemoratethe significant events in their lives and thelives of their family, such as birth’s,graduations, engagements, marriages,achievement awards and memorials.

As a member, you may participate bymaking a donation toward a tree planting.An engraved brass plate, commensuratewith the level of your donation, will then beplaced on the “Honor Roll Plaque.”

We have lost a lotSeveral nature related incidents have

occurred on the Kenwood Club property inthe past years, the devastating storm of June1989, Hurricane Allison in June 2001,numerous windstorms and lightning strikeshave contributed to the continueddecimation of Kenwood’s arboreal splendor.Additionally, anthracnose, a disease thataffects several species of trees, has takenparticular interest in the indigenousdogwood. Over 60 percent of the dogwoodsthat once dominated the property whileforming the Kenwood Club logo have beenlost to natural devastation and anthracnose.PEPCO and its army of tree butchers has

ravaged the once beautiful boundary treesand plantings and turned the Clubsurroundings unsightly.

The continued improvements ofthe Kenwood Club facilities, thebuilding of the new Fitness Center,Spa and changes on the golf coursehas created the need forlandscaping and new trees. Manyof the trees affected byimprovements were transplantedelsewhere on the property. In spiteof this, new plantings are andcontinue to be required throughoutthe property.

A Well-Founded Tree ProgramWith the assistance of the Vice

President of Ruppert Nurseries, ChrisRuppert, and a representative of ArborCare,Kevin Claire, a comprehensive study wasdone to determine which trees we shouldplant to restore the horticultural beauty ofthe Kenwood property.

Help Beautify Our ClubThe various levels of contribution

associated with the “Honor Roll Plaque”should accommodate any budget.

The four levels are; Contributor: $250-$500; Donor: $501-$750; Benefactor, $751-$1,500 and Patron: $1,501 and above.

The inscription of each brass plate onthe “Honor Roll Plaque” will be completedafter consultation with the participatingmember.

Of the signature trees for the KenwoodClub, the Kanza and Yoshino Cherries andthe Kousa Dogwood coincide with thearboreal theme of the Kenwood community.Other trees, which in time will provide

shade and year-round beauty, are theCrimson King and October Glory Maples,Pin and Sawtooth Oaks and the PatmoreAsh.

It is our hope to restore and enhancethe horticultural beauty of the KenwoodGolf and Country Club and providemembers the opportunity to assist in thisendeavor while simultaneously recognizingsignificant events in their lives and in thelives of members of their family.

The Club President, Todd Chamberlin,has endorsed this program with thepurchase of three trees commemorating thebirths of his children.

Franklin “Lin” Steinko is thecoordinator of this program and if you wishto participate in the program or havequestions please contact “Lin” at 301-469-5493 or Divotinc@Comcast.net. ★

A TREE GROWS AT KENWOOD

KGA

By Bob Ott

LL ast month I had the honor of reporting about our A Team’s victory in the first round of the

interclub tournament. Well, all good thingscome to an end. The A Team put up avaliant effort in its second match againstBethesda on April 15. Unfortunately, theteam came out on the short end of a 10-8score. In the matches played at Kenwood,Bernie Nunez continued his outstandingplay recording a 71. He and teammate,Steve Smith, won all three of their points.Dick Schmidt, the A Team Captain, shot a66 (the same score he shot in the firstround) and together with his partner, ournew assistant pro Kyle Trent, won two outof three possible points. The third teamplaying at Kenwood, Jack Read and Larry

Martone, also won two points. Things didnot go as well in the matches played atBethesda. Bill Todd and Nick Park wereable to win one point in their match. Theother two away teams, John Nunez andJamie Poist and G.P Penati and ChrisHuebner, did not fare as well.

Rain caused the cancellation of ourOpening Day Tournament. I was verydisappointed that the weather did notcooperate. I was the event manager for thistournament and worked very hard toorganize a premier opening day. When itbecame obvious that the rain was not goingto stop, I was forced to call the Club andcancel the Chateaubriand and caviar that Ihad ordered for lunch. Also Taylor Madegraciously agreed to take back the R-7drivers I had ordered as the tournamentparticipants’ gifts. Oh, well, better luck nextyear.

The KGA Tournament for June is theBoard of Governors Championship

(previously known as the MiniatureChampionship), which will be held onSaturday and Sunday, June 17-18. MikeO’Flahavan is the event manager for thistournament. Players will be divided intoflights of sixteen and will play up to fournine-hole matches, two on each day. Thewinners of the first match will move on tothe second round, while the losers willmove into a consolation round. Playcontinues on Sunday for the winners of thesecond nine-hole matches on Saturday. Atthe end of the second nine-hole match onSunday, each flight will crown a winner anda consolation winner. I personally havefound memories of this tournament. Myfirst golf victory at Kenwood was winningthe consolation round of the fifth (or was itthe sixth?) flight in this event. My familywas very proud. Sign up begins on May 20and ends on June 14. ★

Championship on June 23-24. In our tennissurvey, some of you said you’re simply notgood enough for club tournaments. Not so!Last year Martha Donnelly proved thatanyone can ace Kenwood’s own FredDrilling.

Please let Chris Furnas know if you areshort a partner, and we will do our best toconnect you with a fellow tennis aficionado(or aficionada). Dr. Phil says this is the kindof event where cheating on (but not against!)your significant other is permitted. ☺

In the Tennis NewsIt’s our favorite event of the Kenwood

tennis season, and this year Opening Daywas more smashing than ever before! Helenand Paul Schmitz, our hosts for the day, didnot overlook a single detail in their planning.Contrary to the rumor that Chris Furnas hadperformed yet another tennis miracle, Helenand Paul were responsible for the gorgeousweather, nutritious breakfast (fruit) with thenecessary sugar rush (donuts), and deliciouslunch on the clubhouse patio, in addition toan unprecedented collection of fabulousprizes! Nearly 50 Kenwood players took partin the fun, enjoying exciting play, lots oflaughs and complimentary courtsidemassages, courtesy of Paul from the newKenwood Spa.

With our apologies to anyone whomwe’ve inadvertently omitted from thewinners’ list: the Opening Day champs wereJean Barquin, Nellie Liang, Paul Schmitzand Hadi Tharian, with, in second place,Melissa Phillips, Jim Blair and Alice Tinker.The Fitness Center donated a series offantastic prizes for tennis skill. Mike Tangourwon an exfoliation treatment for the mostaces – which he wisely gave to his wife, whobabysat their three small children while heplayed – and four prizes including massage,fitness class and swim lesson were awardedto the tennis players with no double faults.

The ladies of Kenwood have made theirfirst foray into the GWTA league with greatsuccess. Co-captained by Poli Noyes andJulie Oxley, this Yellow team is in first placewith victories over Mt. Vernon, River Fallsand Reston.

In the Inter-Club League, Kenwoodladies have also gotten off to a great start.Three of our teams are undefeated: Red A,Red C and Blue C. The A Team is new to the

Red division, and after three matches is #1and undefeated. “Between new teammembers joining and old membersreturning, our team is stronger than ever,”said team captain Mary Kay Kadow, after thethird 4-1 victory of the season.

After losing their first match, Red Bwon their next two and is #2 in the overallstandings. Red C remains in first place withthe highest number of individual matchvictories – 13 out of 15. Also undefeated isBlue C, who is tied for second place. Totrack all the teams’ progress, go tohttp://sportsdigest.net/published/ladies_interclub_tennis/index.html and select theteam whose results you wish to view.

In the POWTEL league, Kenwood’sladies of the night are fielding four teams,two in the 4.0 division and two in the 3.5division. As of this writing, each team hadplayed only one match, with Kenwood II(4.0) victorious in their first contest. Otherresults were not available, but we’ll give youa full update in our next issue!

With the snow birds still gone, themen’s Gold Team got off to a rough start.They were down 4-5 for their first threematches, but then swept YMCA 3-0, with allthree courts decided in super tie-breaks.

WHAT’S THE RACKET?(continued from page 11)

Ask the ProWe invite you to send questions about

tennis rules or techniques. You can dropthem off at the front desk in the TennisCommittee box, or e-mail tochristine@bragale.com.

I was playing in a doubles match andour opponent kept foot faulting. We askedhim to stop as it is not fair, but he said ‘It’sno big deal, this isn’t Wimbledon and I didn’trush the net, so what does it matter?’ Notonly did the foot faulting frustrate us, but theresponse did as well. What could we havedone to remedy the situation?

According to Rule of Tennis #18, a footfault occurs if either foot touches the court,lines, or ‘imaginary’ extensions of the linesafter the player’s feet are at rest but beforethe player strikes the ball. In a non-officiatedmatch, a player may warn his opponent thathe has committed a flagrant foot fault. If thefoot faulting continues, the player may

attempt to locate an official, or call flagrantfoot faults if no official is available. The pleathat he should not be penalized because heonly just touched the line and did not rushthe net is not acceptable. Habitual footfaulting, whether intentional or careless, ischeating, as is making a deliberate bad linecall.

From the Tennis CommitteeWe owe many thank yous for the

JJ realize I have been derelict by not researching the history of tennis as I have for the other

activities available at Kenwood. Here is asmall part of the history of tennis.

Tennis evolved from ball games thatcan be traced back to ancient times.Carvings which illustrated these gameswere found in the temples of Egypt datingback to 1500BC. In early times theEuropean Moors, whose Empire reachedinto Southern France, actually played ballgames as part of their religious ceremonies.

Christian Monks became interested inthe religious rites of the Moors and werethe first Europeans to play the ball games.The earliest version of the game was called'La Soule' where players would hit a ball toeach other using either their hands or astick. The game became very popular inMonasteries all over Europe, so much sothat the Church of the day even consideredprohibiting the game! The meeting of thiseastern culture and Christianity, strangelyenough, gave rise to tennis!

This very early version of tennis,where the ball was often hit againstcourtyard walls, soon made it out of themonasteries and during the 12th and 13thcenturies it was to develop further. Playersfound that they had better control over theball when using a leather glove on theirhands. It was only a matter of time beforethe glove was supplemented with a woodenhandle - creating the very first tennisracket! The balls were refined too, movingfrom solid wood to much softer designsmade of leather stuffed with bran. Thegame soon became very popular,particularly in France where it was adoptedby Royalty.

A variation of the game that we knowtoday really came into being in France inthe 16th century when it became the highlyfashionable sport of kings and noblemen. Itwas called Jeu de paumme, the game of thepalm. Later the French players startedshouting tenez, i.e Play and soon the gamewas known as Royal, or Real Tennis.

Real tennis was actually very differentfrom the game that we know today. It wasplayed indoors, in large galleries withjutting roofs and points were won accordingto how the ball was played off of the gallerywalls. This is very different from today'sLawn Tennis, where the rectangular court islaid out on a grass or clay type surface andthe play is within marked boundaries, notoff of the walls. Another key difference isthat Real Tennis used a system of chases. Intoday's game if a ball bounces twice it isdead. In Real Tennis however, a markerwould mark the point of the second bounce.This was known as the chase. In addition toplaying for points, opponents wouldcompete by trying to put their chase asclose as possible to their opponents backwall. A player who had lagged behind in thepoints could come from behind to win thematch by being more skillful at the chase.

Soon tennis spread throughout Europe,particularly in England. King Henry VIIIwas a very keen player and built a court athis palace in Hampton Court, still usedtoday by Real Tennis enthusiasts. The gamealso spread to Spain, Italy, Holland,Switzerland and Germany. In the 18thcentury the French revolution and theNapoleonic wars caused a decline in thegame, virtually eliminating it across mostof Europe.

In the 19th century the prosperitytaking place in England prompted asignificant revival. Courts were built inmany famous country houses and the first

tennis clubs providing facilities formembers began to appear. In was duringthis period that the game of Lawn Tennisbegan to emerge. Enthusiasts had beentrying for some time to adapt the game intoan open-air sport. This was largely broughtabout by the development of vulcanizedrubber. This enabled the production of ballsthat were soft enough so as not to damagethe grass, but which still retained theelasticity and liveliness of rubber.

The most significant development inthe history of tennis was Wimbledon. Thegame captured the imagination of thepublic and it didn't take long before the firstchampions emerged. Over the next fewyears, the sport gained tremendouspopularity, not just in England but all overthe world. The growth of tennis continued.

Today, tennis is a world-classcompetitive sport captivating millions ofplayers and fans all round the world.Something that was once the pastime ofKings has become a sport for all.
