Karen Hird, Jim Wharton, and Charlotte Cornwallis. photo by Michael Do The opportunity for the United States ladies to compete in events such as these helps to elevate the standard of play for of the US based players. It is only by competing against these overseas players that the USCTA will be able to raise the level of play of our domestic pool. MEMBERSHIP Through the hard work of our Membership Secretary, Dacre Stoker, the USCTA was able to not only sustain our membership, during these difficult economic times, but also increase our numbers. This has not been easy and the Membership Committee is to be commended for their efforts. The Association continues to work on improving communications so that it can provide more timely information regarding upcoming tournaments and results. As the USCTA transitions towards the new electronic medium there will be more opportunities for you to receive information. FINANCES Arnold Spangler took over as Treasurer this past season and he has done a magnificent job keeping the Associations’ finances in order. We are in a sound position and continue to support the game in conjunction with the United States Court Tennis Preservation Foundation. I am also delighted to report that we were able to increase the professional prize money by 25% across the board. HANDICAP & RANKING The Handicap & Ranking Committee continues to monitor and adjust the system. The most problematic area is doubles handicapping. The committee while recognizing some anom- 2008-2009 Annual Report alies in the system is encouraging players to enter results so that a fair assessment of the system is possible. Unfortunately each club has a somewhat different policy regarding entering scores. Ideally all scores, both singles and doubles should be entered and ultimately the results will sort themselves out. In closing I would like to thank all of you as members of the USCTA who make this game and the Association such a success. Without your participation in club tournaments and national events the game would not grow. The volunteerism at the club and national level is extraordinary. Week in and week out club members set aside their time to provide competitive experience for all of us. If you have not had a chance to help in your respective clubs, please take the opportunity to do so, it is a rewarding experience and a chance to give back to this wonderful game. Lastly I would like to thank our professionals who work long hours to not only teach the game and assist in running our clubs, but also train to maintain the highest level of competition. These are the people who make the game flow from day to day. Respectfully submitted, James D.
