If that's true, then a few cobwebs should be on their way out at the Park Meadows Racquet Club. Meet Bob McBroom, the new head tennis professional at Park City's only indoor tennis club. He succeeds Al Johnson, who resigned earlier this summer. For the sake of accuracy, McBroom isn't really new at all. He was the first head pro at the local facility in the mid '70s, when it was known as the Park City Racquet Club. Since leaving town in 1978, McBroom has been teaching tennis in places such as Island Park, Idaho, Salt """l Lake City, Phoenix, and Hawaii. "It's a super opportunity for me," McBroom said when asked about his return to Park City. "I'm glad to be back in the area." For those who are interested in-terested in meeting the club's new old pro, an open house will be held Saturday from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Both members and nonmembers are invited. McBroom said he plans to introduce a number of weekly week-ly clinics and special activities activi-ties to make the best possible use of the club. "I think we'll have something some-thing for everyone at the Park Meadows Racquet Club, through the winter and through the summer. The thing is to get people excited. We've got this facility; let's use it." Among the activities planned are Monday night tennis matches for football widows. McBroom also hopes to have regular doubles leagues for players of different levels. And a strong junior development program is high on his list of priorities. "I'm going to try to cover all the needs for all the different kinds of tennis players," he said. McBroom said he feels the new owners of the club have a strong commitment to strengthen the programs at the club. |
