Bob Shares His Tennis Journey

At Thursday's meeting, Rotarian Bob Butterfield provided a fascinating insight into his vocations as a tennis player and coach as part of our "State of My Vocation" series. Pictured is a group of players who attended one of Bob's many clinics.

 

Bob challenged those present to consider the state of our local tennis courts which have greatly deteriorated from the state in which he played competetive tennis as a young player and which he then considered to be amongst the best courts in the State.  He suggested that while a lack of qualified tennnis coaching may diminish the prospects of younger players joining the game, the greater variety of sports available to young people to play was also responsible for a drift away from the game by potential new players.
