Playing Tennis

Forget the French Open check out the Glassford OPEN. Here is only one of many fantastic plays that took place on the hard courts in Orem Utah. Not a lot of net play took place but this is one for the memory books.
Here Heather Glassford is posing for the media. She started out slow but soon found her game with smashing results.
Rachel was all over the court with intensity and stealth. Here competitive nature made her a formidable opponent.
Richie's speed and agility proved to be a handful for those on the opposite side of the net. Here you can see him pointing out the inadequacies of the lines judge. It is obvious that Richie is correct.... Ha! I think he said something like hey use those glasses four eyes. I do not recall the exact statement.
Richie's unorthodox style was successful because of his concentration. Notice how he keeps his eyes focused on the ball and not the hot chicks walking on the sidewalk to his left.
No one could match the power and accuracy of Angie-lu-boo-da-ga-binga. Not only were her ground strokes a smashing hit ( ha) but her keen sense space and time allowed her to out wit opponents.
One of Rachel's greatest tricks was to hit of her back foot. Not advisable for most athletes but because of her massive muscles she pulled it off with pin point accuracy. Children please do not try this technique at home. This could cause painful muscle tears and short term memory loss due to over focusing. Congratulation Rachel on defeating the laws of physics.
At the net Richie was all over, catlike reflexes and agility. He looked really good, he just had a problem hitting the ball.
Angie's serve was on. Most (except for me) had a problem with the speed and movement of the ball. Notice the concentration and ecellent ball toss. Angie you rock !
Heather had an unusual but effective swing. The two handed front hand swing can only be performed by Heather. I think it is the month long training camp she attended in Kazakhstan. There she studied with the towns most renown ventriloquist in the war tattered town of binkervest. Congratulations Heather for receiving the most unique and effective new tennis strategy award.

  2. Your blog is hilarious. Mostly because your kids are so funny. Congrats to Rachel on graduation-wish I could have gone to the party at gma's.

    I love the welcoming party for Angie. What are you going to do with Angie and Rachel gone?

    Take care- we'll see you soon (or in a few months....)

    Love,
