They didn't have much choice back then. Have you ever heard of something called "the draft".

OH yeah
My number was coming up just as they suspended drafting people.
I would have gone if I had to.

I fell in the gap between draft ending and the requirement to register started again.

He used the Red Head
that was the beginning of the new days
When wood racquets ruled, mine was up there.

I could serve with the old metal racquets but I had a hard, flat forehand which tended to put dents in the fence with a metal racquet (on the fly).

My uncle played on tennis team in college in Georgia but a bit before your time.

Did the ball hit inside the lines? That's the question.

Just tell them it's modern art.. it's a representation of over-compensation for a tiny ego.

About 80% of the time.
When I was in a fast-serve contest, I would take it easy and get a 90 mph in and then go for a harder one.
I never got much over 100 mph.
At 90, I could nail the line or kick it wide (maybe 75 mph).
At 100 mph, it was usually right at the opponent which mean it came back at my feet at 60 mph.
My right shoulder is shot, and I just kick it in these days.

I used to tell my oldest daughter that she couldn't hit a watermelon with a guitar.
Academically talented. Sports challenged.

The aluminum rackets of the 70s weren't as good as the wood ones imo but definitely lighter.

I didn't know there was a difference between the rainbow flag and the confederate flag. I think they are both gay.

haha... but my understanding of the confederate flag thru popular media is that its racist. kind of like the racist description of a ghetto being called brown town

Wilson was all we had.
Tennis is a great sport.

Just don't smoke a doctor in three if your dad is a pharmacist. It's bad for business.
