Cat's Eye: Odlum Brown VanOpen
The Odlum Brown Vancouver Open tennis tournament was held last week at West Vancouver’s Hollyburn Country Club. Often billed as a showcase of the “stars of tomorrow”, this competition is anything but amateur. And while the talent on display here may be young, they all brought their A-games to the court in a series of impressive outings that any tennis fan would love. Needless to say, tournaments like this are nothing without the dedicated group of people who come into play behind the scenes. Last Tuesday, the VIP reception gave everyone a chance to mix and mingle as matches got underway on the picturesque sun filled court decks. Congrats to all involved.
