USA in the Autumn 2012 #9


Greg enjoying LA
After the disappointment of not qualifying for the Tiburon Challenger Greg travelled back to Los Angeles to hook up with his mate and sometimes hitting partner David Bidmeade. 
David and lots of food

David had been to a wedding in  Las Vegas and was spending a week with his friend Guy in L.A. and it was a good opportunity for Greg to get some good hitting, along with some relaxed company and see the sights of L.A.
LA's beaches

Guy was keen to show them around and Greg and David enjoyed some of the better things which L.A. had to offer other than Universal Studios and the glitz of Hollywood Boulevarde.

Tasty Cuisine
Guy showed them different places off the beaten tourist track as well as taking them to some good beachside resraurants in Newport and Laguna. Greg said it was very great. They would practise early then hit the town for lunch, stuff their faces and then come back for some hittings, before going somewhere else for a sundowner, then dinner.
Personality Pug
Guy, who is also Australian, is engaged to a local girl Adine and Greg, who is not normally fond of animals, said they had the cutest little pug dog with the best personality.

After a hectic few days, Greg then headed back to Ponte Vedra in Florida, for a calmer environment and more coaching with Todd Martin. He said it was good to get some quiet time after LA and to re-charge the batteries. Greg plans to train with Todd for 10 ten days before heading to Charlottesville, Virginia for the first of three indoor Challenger tournaments, where he will have to go through qualifying to play in the main draw.
