I am paula murphy. I lived in San Francisco for the past 25 years. For the past 10 i have been playing tennis in San Francisco mostly on public courts. Jumping off what peg said i want to focus my comments on what a huge benefit having lights at golden Gates Tennis Center will be. Imagine you work for a living, which i think most of us do, that you cant afford to be a member of the private club, and you play doubles. Mosmost of us of a certain age y doubles. You know, what are your options for playing tennis other than weekends . You get into your cars or on your bike or whatever, Public Transportation and go across the city and all four of you meet there and you just cross your fingers and hope that nobody is playing. Often times there is someone playing, there is people waiting. Then you decide, okay, are we going to wait two hours and stand here or try to go somewhere else . Then you all get in cars or on your bike and go somewhere else and hope the same situation doesnt await you.
