BY-SV Challenge match.

TJ hits the courts!

PointeWest WDM, 06-14-05. Aided by SV's daughter, TJ practices her strokes, and in just one session improves to the point where she would likely defeat most ladder participants. TJ demonstrates that with a little practice, the game can become even more rewarding, then the fitness benefits alone.
