Bitsy Grant Tennis Center is the Actual Center of the Universe

Everyone Can Play! When Bitsy Grant created the first public tennis center (hey, anyone got a dispute on that? Blog me!) he was looking to create the first non-fancy pants, non-elitist, not a private club place where "anyone" could play. His vision has, over time, become reality. Probably turned out better than he imagined, cause while this may come as a surprise to some, most real lovers of clay tennis are well aware that, today, Bitsy Grant Tennis Center, nestled in the verdant bosom of Buckhead/Atlanta, Georgia is the undisputed heart and soul of tennis--period.

So if you haven't yet played at Bitsy Grant: COME ON DOWN AND BRING YOUR GAME, or your tall tales, or your violin and washboard (to join the BITSYLAND STRING BAND Blue Grass Band), or your favorite libation to be enjoyed under the shade of the TREE BAR (the grand old girl was recently lost and replanted--be on the look out for that post) after three or six sets of pick up doubles, and start earning your stripes to become an official RAILBIRD and to receive an official nickname--so that you enjoy the distinct pleasure of "porch courtesy" graciously extended to all NEWCOMERS, the occasional "dinner on the grounds" where you might be taught to Shag by an 83 year old Shag Champion and master of the crowd pleasin "triple rump bump", or Bitsy Homecoming where you might enjoy a Varsity chili dog and encounter the likes of Armisted Neely, Hugh Thomson, Bailey Brown, William King--hey, if you have to ask, you'd better come on down and meet them. Life isn't gettin any longer. And there shore is a bunch of fun to be had. Come join us!
