Number of courts continues to grow despite losses to disrepair and Hurricane Carol

In the early days, courts often fell into disrepair as the original construction techniques and choice of materials were poor.

Often these courts were torn down, but the court at Riverside Yacht Club in Riverside, CT, was the first to be lost to an “Act of God.”

Despite the fact that courts were being lost, many more were being built and the number of operational courts was expanding rapidly.
