The weather at Waikiki in Hawaii, is the best in the world. It is warm and dry throughout the year (70~90F). No hurricanes, no heavy rains, no earthquakes. Money can not buy weather. So here is the best place to play tennis and to realize the successful aging. 常夏のハワイといわれるように気候は世界一。一年を通じて気温は20~30℃、湿度が低いのでカラットしてます。台風、大雨、地震もないです。いくら金持ちでも気候はお金では買えません。青空の下でテニスができたら、心と体の健康に良いでしょう。ハワイで素晴らしい健康的な人生を楽しみましょう。

Opposition wins landslide in Japan election
TOKYO – Japan's ruling party conceded a crushing defeat Sunday after 54 years of nearly unbroken rule as voters were poised to hand the opposition a landslide victory in nationwide elections, driven by economic anxiety and a powerful desire for change.
The left-of-center Democratic Party of Japan was set to win 300 or more of the 480 seats in the lower house of parliament, ousting the Liberal Democrats, who have governed Japan for all but 11 months since 1955, according to exit polls by all major Japanese TV networks.

Kapiolani Park Gets Cleaned Up
Volunteers were out bright and early, picking up trash and repainting fences and parking lots. The mayor's cabinet cleanup is held every August. Joining the lineup this year, was the UH Wahine basketball team and its new coach Dana Takahara-Dias, who used to head the City Parks Department.

ハワイ・テニスルール 復習
・4人とも最初のサーブは、入るまでサーブが打てます。「ファーストグッド」とか「FBI(ファーストボールイン)」と声をかけて行います。(10本位ファーストサーブを打たれたことがあります)
・コートチェンジは、3ゲーム毎に行います。ボールは、必ず3個で行い1個は、サーブを行わないプレーヤーが持ちます。(中には、3個持ちたい人もいるので臨機応変に)
・ゲームは、1セットマッチですが4年くらい前から5-5でタイブレークするようになり5ポイント先取になりました。タイブレークは、2本づつ打ちます。4ポイントでコートチェンジします。4-4になるとレシーブ側がサイドを選びプレーを開始します。
・ボールは、その年の全米オープンで使用されたメーカーのボールが好まれます。最近は、ウイルソンが多く利用されています。ペンも長年の歴史があり利用されています。日本で利用の多いダンロップは、打球感が柔かいと言われ好まれません。
・一人でラケットとボールを持って行きコートサイドのベンチで待てば直ぐゲームメンバーに入れてもらえます。(自分の名前を言って他の3人の名前を確認しましょう)
・自分のペアがミスをして「ソーリー」と言われたとき「グッドトライ」や「グッドアイデア」と声をかけましょう。良いショットを打つた時は、「グッドショット」と声をかけタッチをしましょう。
