Woody Classic
2011 Registration is Closed
We are proud to announce that BTC will play host to the 2nd annual Dan Bonfigli Woody Classic on Thursay August 11th through Sunday August 14th, 2011. Dealer.com is underwriting this event and is offering a $1000 top prizes and $500 runner up prize for both men and women singles. Top men and women doubles prizes are $750.
Dan was a great tennis player and passionate supporter of the sport but left us entirely too early in life. One of Dan's unrealized dreams was to create a huge competitive tennis tournament that would draw the areas best players and everyone would play with wooden racquets.
For the love of the game, this tournament brings players and fans back to heyday of 1970s and 1980s tennis - Jimmy Connors, John McEnroe, Björn Borg, Chris Evert, and Martina Navratilova. Along with the top prizes, $250 door prizes will be awarded to the best "Classic White" tennis outfits in the men's & women's draws!
This tournament is open to members and non-members, but entrants must be competitive players - no beginners please. Entry fees are $75 for singles and $100 per doubles team ($50 per person). Entries close out midnight August 8th so get your application in early!
If you need one, we do have loaner wooden racquets available for the tournament. See the official website for rules and what constitutes a "wooden racquet":
Just want to watch? Come and cheer on your favorite player - cow bells and noise makers provided. Dealer.com will provide Sunday brunch for the finals - strawberries & cream and champagne.
