Who doesn’t love May?

Here in our lovely Sacramento Mountains, wild winds calm down, temperatures tippy-toe up, daylight brightens longer and tennis players blossom in their favorite colorful outfits.

Yay, summer tennis!
May promises summer warmth and fun. Your Alto Lakes Tennis Association (ALTA) fulfills that promise with a full calendar of summer fun activities, starting with the ever-popular ALTA Grand Slammers.  These themed events include mixed doubles play as well as themed refreshments. And they’re fun!

First up, the French Open, where the world’s best of the best meet at Stade Roland Garros near Paris, France on May 28 - July 11, 2023.  To celebrate this Grand Slam event, ALTA says “Bienvenue!” (Welcome!) at our very own French Open fête (party) Saturday, June 3 at our Outlaw Courts, sans l'argile rouge! (without the red clay!) Fun matches and we toast bonhomie (conviviality) with chilled Champagne, buttery croissants, flaky French pastries, and more.

Naturellement (naturally), ALTA assures that you’ll enjoy this tennis classic’s joie de vivre (joy of living). Mark your calendars now; you will be très triste (very sad) if you miss it! Oo-la-la! (no translation needed!)

ALTA membership includes all social events and club play.  Members may bring guests for the standard $5 guest fee.  All levels of play are welcome.

For further information, check out the ALTA page on the ALGCC website (under “Associations”) or contact ALTA Commissioner Elaine Wedgeworth at [email protected]/(512)635-6730.  Let’s get out and PLAY!
