Wh<strong>at</strong> is the C<strong>at</strong>tail <strong>Creek</strong> Tennis Classic? Why host a public tennis tournament?<br />
The C<strong>at</strong>tail <strong>Creek</strong> Tennis Classic is one-of-a-kind tennis tournament scheduled for September 22-25,<br />
2011. It is open to all tennis players who have a USTA, NTRP or approved club r<strong>at</strong>ing. The tournament<br />
will fe<strong>at</strong>ure singles and doubles events for men and women based on r<strong>at</strong>ing and age, mixed doubles<br />
and combos events, and even husband-wife and parent-child events. Unique to most tennis tournaments,<br />
the C<strong>at</strong>tail <strong>Creek</strong> Tennis Classic will also have a heavy focus on social events, incorpor<strong>at</strong>ing an<br />
unparalleled Luau Cocktail Party on S<strong>at</strong>urday evening, and a Bloody Mary party on Sunday morning.<br />
Sponsors and vendors are currently being signed for the tournament.<br />
There are a number of reasons why <strong>Club</strong> leadership has decided to host a public tennis tournament,<br />
with the top consider<strong>at</strong>ions being:<br />
1. To raise awareness and to showcase C<strong>at</strong>tail as the premier tennis and golf country club in the<br />
area. Wh<strong>at</strong> better way then to have them play on our courts, appreci<strong>at</strong>e the views of our golf course,<br />
and enjoy our culinary fare. All <strong>Club</strong> departments are tasked with cre<strong>at</strong>ing innov<strong>at</strong>ive ways to <strong>at</strong>tract<br />
new Members and the new C<strong>at</strong>tail <strong>Creek</strong> Tennis Classic is part of the gre<strong>at</strong>er Tennis marketing plan.<br />
2. In addition to providing funding for a tennis scholarship for a Howard County teenager, we are also<br />
trying to begin to raise money to purchase things such as a new ball machine, build a new tennis pro<br />
shop, and eventually quick start courts for the junior tennis program. The <strong>Club</strong> would r<strong>at</strong>her raise<br />
money through events like Tennis Classic than by asking the membership.<br />
3. The Tennis Classic is being viewed as a regional tournament. The <strong>Club</strong>’s future objective is to put in<br />
a bid to host a st<strong>at</strong>e or sectionals tournament <strong>at</strong> C<strong>at</strong>tail <strong>Creek</strong> which also gener<strong>at</strong>es revenue for our<br />
tennis program. In 2012, the <strong>Club</strong> plans to have the Tennis Classic sanctioned by USTA to help once<br />
again with our visibility within the tennis community.<br />
