TWIN CITY TENNIS TOURS
Dear Friends,
Twin City Tennis Tours has been a business idea in the making for several years now. Trips all over the world to professional tennis events in the winter, weekends to the Davis cup and Wightman cup matches, vacation getaways for friends, families and couples to enjoy and lots and lots of tennis at every stop on the way. These are the ideas that I have carried with me for the last five winters and wondered how I could make it a reality for myself and the many friends I have made through coaching and playing tennis in the twin cities community.
Each year many people have asked me why I don’t plan a trip for them to getaway for a tennis vacation in the winter time or to a professional tennis event like the U.S. Open.
Well, I think I finally have an idea to get this tennis travel vacation business started off with bang.
We have created a great tennis vacation experience with the help of the Rancho Bernardo Inn and Resort in San Diego.
Please help in emailing this letter and marketing proposal for a winter tennis package to everyone who might be interested in going down to San Diego this winter for some fun and tennis too. This is a new business idea and any support you can offer in connecting people with Twin City Tennis Tours would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for all your help….. and I will see you on the courts,
Daniel

TCTC presents a whole new experience for tennis players everywhere in the winter tennis season of 2005.
The Twin City Tennis Tours Custom Tennis Package
Hosted by USPTA Professional Daniel Nabedrick
Imagine a winter getaway to a warm beautiful destination for some fun, sunshine and a whole lot of tennis together. Haven’t we all been looking to plan a great winter tennis trip for quite some time. Well, this winter we are planning several winter getaway options in beautiful San Diego, California. Weekend reservations have been made at the Rancho Bernardo Inn and Resort in the northeastern part of San Diego County. The resort is about twenty five minutes from the downtown San Diego airport. More importantly, the resort is only twenty five minutes to the beaches of the pacific ocean in La Jolla, Del Mar, and North County San Diego. The Inn's location in San Diego’s northeast boasts nearly perfect weather year-round with several hundred days of sunshine annually.
Here’s a brief description of the resort taken from their website at www.ranchobernardoinn.com:
“The Rancho Bernardo Inn promises a unique resort experience where warm, attentive service focuses on meeting your individual needs. Where surroundings are lush and tranquil, yet filled with possibilities. Where world-class recreation and fine dining await. And, most importantly, where each and every guest is treated as a lifetime friend. Whether it's the golf course beckoning from beyond your balcony, the spa whispering tales of relaxation or the tennis courts enticing you for a game of play, Rancho Bernardo Inn has a world of activities awaiting you. The difficult part is deciding which activity to do first.
Dining is a distinct pleasure at Rancho Bernardo Inn, with exquisite care given
to every presentation. Whether you enjoy a casual lunch on the
Veranda Terrace or dine in the award-winning El Bizcocho dining room, every meal
becomes a memory
A peaceful valley backdrop complete with tree-lined fairways is home to the AAA Four Diamond Rancho Bernardo Inn and the 18-hole championship Resort Course. The traditional layout originally opened in 1962 and recently underwent renovation to ensure that it will continue to present a modern challenge for today's golfer.
As the only golf course in San
Diego to have hosted both PGA and LPGA events, the Resort Course is now sought
out by golfers in search of a memorable and enjoyable round with the gracious,
genuine service offered by the renowned resort.”
