| Troubling I was playing the other day and (a cool day thank goodness) and was really annoyed by the contruction noises going on near the paddle courts. Is there something that can be done to fix this? |
| Penelope 10/11/2013 |
| Play after 5 when they stop. Where is there construction going on? |
| working guy 10/11/2013 |
| Really ? |

| I don't know who you're playing paddle with but when I play it sounds like a thundering herd of elephants running into walls |
| Pedro 10/13/2013 |
| You can always help them so they finish faster. Just saying |
| the kid 10/15/2013 |
| We pay a lot of money to be members of these clubs - I don't think that we should have to deal with distractions like construction noise or loud onlookers when we are trying to be serious. I don't really undestand the "herd of elephant" comment. |
| Penelope 10/16/2013 |
| So when should we do construction beautifying your club? 10pm to 8am? Sorry we work while you enjoy your country club lifestyle. Kid, great to see your inflammatory comments back for another season!!! |
| Construction worker 10/16/2013 |
| And you wonder why most people think country clubbers are snobs ???? |
| More things to worry about 10/16/2013 |
| Many of these clubs are NOT what I would call a country club - and many of them do work at night so that their members don't have to see/listen to that work. I'll ignore the snob comment at this time. Let's get back to paddle and stop the insults... |
| Penelope 10/17/2013 |
| Tough to do outside work at night. I could see if it were painting or other trade that is used to working around business schedules. I think most clubs would do what they can to avoid member inconvenience. Perhaps you should talk to your club manager or your Board. Good luck Penelope! |

| Penny my dear, why not just strut over in your designer paddle outfit and ask the workers to saw and hammer more quietly so as not to bother you while you play? |
| Paddle Etiquette Advisor 10/17/2013 |
| "Penny" - these are what go on my son's shoes when he goes to school......not my name. |
| Penelope 10/17/2013 |
| Can't wait for paddle tonight!!!! Been looking forward to it all week. |
| Penelope 10/21/2013 |
| Hope it was quiet for you and you won your match! |
| Shhhhhh 10/21/2013 |
| We lost - it was my partner's fault. |
| Penelope 10/22/2013 |
| Can't believe you threw me under the bus!! |
| Your Partner 10/22/2013 |
| Well - if she would have driven more often and stop lobbing.....we might have won the match. |
| Penelope 10/23/2013 |
| Have you ever played at Midtown? Have you noticed the highway that is constantly loud? The thundering elephant point is that paddle is an inherently loud game because of the court shaking when you run, so I don't see why some construction noises are such a big deal. |
| Pedro 10/23/2013 |
| Did you convey this to your partner??? How does this make you feel? |
| Dr Phil 10/23/2013 |
| I guess I just don't weigh enough to make the court shake when I run..... there is a gym at Midtown...isn't there? |
| Penelope 10/23/2013 |
| "How does it make me feel" - are you calling me fat Dr. Phil? Maybe you didn't get the hint......"there is a GYM at Midtown....right" I workout and I am cute. |
| Penelope 10/23/2013 |
| Where do you get me calling you fat from??? It is a common question from a therapist? How does that make you feel?? Make an appointment and we can address your issues of noise sensitivity and inflated feelings of self worth. |
| Dr Phil 10/23/2013 |
| Don't any of your work???? Dumbest string I've ever seen. |
| El Presidente 10/23/2013 |
| This is all becomming way to personal for me.....making fun of me for not working, talking about my therapy.....I'm me and i'm comforable with that. If no on wants to help with the construction issue, fine. I'll write letters to the clubs myself. |
| Penelope 10/23/2013 |
| Which club are you talking about??? |
| Curious George 10/23/2013 |
| I'm not going to call out specific clubs, they know who they are. |
| Penelope 10/24/2013 |
| Come on, man up or woman up in this case. If you want to talk about specifics, lets hear it! I can tell you that club staff work very hard to make sure that you get the services you use on a daily basis. You are weak if you are going to hide behind this forum to make rediculous comments about Rochester clubs. |
| El Presidente 10/24/2013 |
| I suggest a few swigs of my pal Johnny Walker would dull down the noise. |
| Brother Blackie 10/25/2013 |
| Red, Black or Blue? |
| J Walker 10/25/2013 |
| I think I saw a nice-looking bottle of Johnnie Walker Black sitting on barstool at the Back Nine restaurant last night. |
| John W 10/25/2013 |
| Betcha didn't know that chicks dig JW.... |
| Penelope 10/31/2013 |
| I have a down-to-earth buddy that drinks Red, a little snobbier one that only drinks Black, and a real snooty one that considers anything other than Blue is "swill". My guess is that you're in that category. |
| Regular Joe 10/31/2013 |
| I love a man who knows his JW - we only drink green/blue at the club. |
