We met at the Port Royal Racquet Club for the Welcome Reception and a chance to meet other guests, potential partners and new friends... 
Mike O'Reagan took charge of our group early on... Only the best for our guests! 
Jeff and Barb took the courts
and dominated... at least their first match! 
Great form Eva... 
High Five (or in this case "low five") for Colin... he finally got a backhand in the court!... Just kidding!! 
Aubrey lines up for the next volley ... while the girls can't help but wonder..... "Where I have I seen him before.... Oh ya... He was the guy in Happy Gilmore!" 
Bob admires his beautiful forehand... Classic stroke! 
Even some future up and coming stars got into it.... Keep this picture, it may be worth something some day! 
Then the Prize Patrol started Mini won the Giant Penn Ball... 
Kathleen won the HEAD Backpack ... way to go! 
Patricia won the Official Doubles Towel... full of great saying for your partner! 
Some better than others... mind you... Aren't they cute together!! 
And of course "Bee Man"! 
Ahhhh..... so sweet... but just try to take an extra long warm-up and... watch out! 
Some took in strolls amongst the beautiful scenery... 
Some cuddled.... 
Now onto the Tourneys... This is where the rubber hit the road... or clay... so to speak! 
Jeff maintained his "Calm as a Cucumber" demeanor.... Never let them see you sweat! 
While Henry scoped out the competition.... 
Alicia and Bob had their own strategy... "Proceed slowly to your next position"! 
Look at that backhand... 
Bruno and Patricia held their own.... 
Jo and Greg played out of their minds... giving Sandy and Kelly a good run for their money! 
Including the now "International" HEAD Clinic.... with a chance to win some GREAT prizes! 
Great follow-through Mike... 
And we have a winner... Pure unadulterated joy from Anita!! 
Scott and Ron took the Men's 'A' Doubles title defeating Aubrey and Graham in a great match! 
While Sandy and Kelly were pushed to the limit to win the Women's 'A' Doubles title over Pat and Jo! 
While Aubrey and Heather played very well to steal the win over Sandy and Kelly (guess who was the guy!) for the 'A' title. 
A very special Thank-you to Tanda and Denny from the Port Royal Racquet Club who made the trip so extra special for our guests... As well as Ryan and Jill from the beautiful Westin Resort who took great care of our group and all of their needs! | 
The trip began with 47 guests arriving on Saturday, March 11th... to beautiful warm weather and a beautiful resort... 
Some people even got some early matches in! 
The Round Robins and the Clinics were FANTASTIC... Thanks to Mike, Dana and all the other great pros! 
Diane is giving Sandra some tips...
"Try facing the net... Not the fence"! 
The clinics humbled us all... except for Barbara... look at that backhand! 
Only Dana can get away with this hat! 
Talk about keeping your eye on the ball... it can't get much bigger than that! 
Great clinics.... the pros worked us over...
big time....and everyone had a blast! 
After the clinics and round robins many took advantage of the super Pro Shop discounts at the Port Royal Racquet Club. 
Jeffery took home lots of goodies from HEAD and US Land.... 
Bill Janzen had his priorities straight... leave the beer in your hand... get the prize later! 
Beyond all of the prizes and even the tennis... One the best things about these trips is the new friends and great memories you make... 
Then there was Charlie's Angels... 
Lots of fun was had by all....Where are you going Alicia? 
Family and friends patiently watched... in between the "Beach Volleyball"... great playing Roman! 
Looking for new pets! 
And some kissed! 
Kelly and I had our priorities straight... "It's not how you play... it's how you look!" 
Lee and Benoit came out of the gates pumped and ready to play... 
Greg and Stew were a force to be reckoned with.... 
Kelly and Mike cheered on... watching, with pride, as some of the week's earlier tennis clinics and private lessons were clearly paying off! 
Scotty could only look hope to hit his backhand that well! 
Pat and Henry sailed through to the semis.... 
Along with great matches the Tourney featured a great Silent Auction and Sponsor Contests.... 
Scotty took the place of Bryan Li and kept the players in motion.... 
Kathy can't wait for Henry to get out of the way so she can have her turn. 
And here are your 2006 Hilton Head Tournament Winners..... The Goose and Colin took out Gord and Bruno for the Men's 'B' Doubles title. 
Linda and Eva sneaked out the win over Barb and Judith to take the Women's 'B' Doubles title. 
And last but not least the Mixed Doubles Linda was double winner this year, partnering with Stew to take the 'B' title away from Colin and Ann (aka Pam!) 
Thanks to everyone who sent in their pictures... Dan, Alicia and Kelly to name a few. Look at the size of that lens!
