Adopt-a-Hole Jack looks back over 20 years as Director of Tennis It has been an amazing journey over the past 20 years as the Director of Tennis. I have been so fortunate to have worked with so many incredible members through the years. I ve had the opportunity to see kids grow up and become adults. I have developed relationships that I will always cherish, and I look forward to developing many more in the years to come. The club has grown from four tennis courts and a landscape trailer to ten tennis courts and a pro shop, as well as from two pools to three pools and a fitness center. During my time at Dunes West, I have been President of the USPTA South Carolina for several years, USPTA Pro of the Year, invited to be a Southern 10 s and 12 s coach for many years, invited to coach at the Dennis Van der Meer All-Star Camp for several years, served on the South Carolina USTA Pro Committee for numerous years, and various committees throughout the years. I ve had the privilege to have and work with an amazing staff that are passionate about our members and tennis. They have always been willing to go the extra mile to improve the tennis program here at Dunes West. In closing, I want to thank my wife, Melanie and daughter, Danielle for being supportive in allowing me to pursue the passion that I have for my job. I truly love being able to be the Director of Tennis here at Dunes West and am proud to represent Dunes West in this capacity. I look forward to many more years, Jack Miller Director of Tennis Summer Tennis Camp June 15-August 3 Monday-Friday 9 a.m.-12 p.m. It s hard to believe, but it s time to start thinking about summer tennis camps.
