“Myself and three friends attended the Wine and Tennis Weekend at the Ritz Carlton, Bacara in Santa Barbara. What a great weekend…. She brings so much energy to the camp and makes it a fun and educational experience. No standing around waiting for the next drill. She keeps things moving to get the most out of the instruction. Excellent communicator. Highly Recommend!” – TF
