A report goes to the LTA and copies are sent to the club. Tony says their findings are always appreciated and helpful. With all the club’s investment and the
sound routines put in, Tony thinks the courts are getting better year by year - always his aim as a groundsman. Official recognition of excellence comes in the form of LTA Tennis mark accreditation as
a place to play the game. The club works with players of all standards and abilities and has been recognised for its work. It is also a Disability Hub. It is an active Surrey club and has been successful in being awarded a Surrey LTA support package. Tony deals with all outdoor matters. His
other responsibilities are three artificial clay courts and six hard courts. The artificial clay surfaces have to be brushed twice a week, plus daily weed and debris removal by hand. Like bunkers at a golf club, users of these courts are supposed to use drag brushes

the floral court surrounds say a lot about the Surbiton club and Tony’s attention to detail.
