Founding Lawrence Men’s Tennis Club member honored

Posted

To close out another successful tennis season — for the second consecutive year, the Senior League (over 60) team representing men’s tennis at the Lawrence Yacht & Country Club captured first place in the North Shore Senior League — Dr. Allan Simon, of Lawrence, the men’s club president, presented Ira London, a founding member of the Lawrence Men’s Tennis Club, with a commemorative can of 50th anniversary tennis balls.

In 1968, the Lawrence tennis facility consisted of three cement courts. Now there are nine Har Tru courts, three are lighted, and the men’s tennis club, and tennis overall, has enjoyed a renaissance at the Village of Lawrence owned and operated country club.
