Upper Ridgewood Tennis Club

I learned to play tennis starting at the age of 8 at the URTC. We dressed in tennis whites and had to play to the letter of the rules. This included on weekends being kicked off the courts by adult members. We didn't ask why but if they saw us playing and there were no other courts then we were done.

I stopped playing for good when I started watching people like McEnroe on TV ruin the game with child outbursts at referees. I know he thought it helped him receive better calls but it also completely shattered the aura of civility which had been a watchword for the game. Now McEnroe makes jokes in American Express commercials making light of his petulant behavior, where he goes and apologizes to the retired referees he badmouthed. This is too little and too late for him.
