The tennis fun was spirited and competitive last Friday afternoon at the Bird Key Yacht Club as
members were treated to an exhibition match between club pro Ivan Yatsuk, above, and Jake Van Emburgh. Yatsuk narrowly won with a serve that regularly reaches 130 mph. The fun was put together by Club Tennis Director Jackie Bohannon who has been busy keeping all of the tennis activities and events and competition going as the yacht club undertakes a complete reconstruction of the facility.
