Quite A Racquet?

I've been a member of the Four Seasons health club for several years. Those membership dues - around $400 a year - enable me to play basketball in their gyms on an unlimited basis. Dena and I like to play tennis together, so as winter approaches I came across the Evergreen Racquet Club here in town with indoor tennis. Here is a comparison of the costs:

Four Seasons: 4 days a week of basketball, 6 hours/week, $400 per year.

Racuqet Club: 4 days a week of tennis, 4 hours/week, $6,000 per year.

Yes, $6,000 per year.

I had to call them to believe it myself.

For those rates I'd expect a personal line judge, ball boys, trainer, fans and all the tiny orange wedges I could eat.
