THIS COURT IS APPEALING

It took more than 3 weeks of patience and a lot of hard work by Luke Bussey and his dad Barry to get the whole court rejuvenated. The weather was a big factor when doing this work and it played havoc throughout with 34C+ temperatures one week and then 1", pea size hail stones on another week.  


Luke owns Canadian Shield Surfacing and his specialty is redoing court surfaces. He knows his trade well, he works harder than anyone we've seen, he's honest and he takes tremendous pride in what he does. Does it sound like we're happy?
It took 3 coats of leveler, an amazing amount of patching and sanding to the fill holes, two coats of colour and then the lines painted on. Our guests will be tremendously happy with what they find this summer. The transformation from a rough, tired old court to what we have now is fantastic.
Luke and his dad were each given the honorary first serve to open the new surface.
