David's Best Tips:

• Planning permission may not be required for building a grass court in your back yard.
• Allthough the stipulated area for a tennis court is 120 feet by 60 feet, 110 by 55 is adequate for most people and can shave thousands off the cost.
• Putting fencing only around the backs of the court saves money and is visually less intrusive.
• Cutting the corners off at 45 degrees doesn't effect play but instead is visually more pleasing and it also trickles the balls to the centre of the court behind the baseline.

It's nostalgic believe you me. (For) most people that play the game - it's their dream. And my dream came true, and even though I had to stop prematurely using it because I didn't like being offensive to people, I still loved it and I'm better for the experience for having my own court. So all you people out there with a little bit of land turn it into a tennis court 'cause you don't know what you're missing until you have your own court. Absolutely lovely, so best of luck if you do get your own court what you think of it because I'm always interested in how people think and feel about this wonder game of tennis. The most beautiful game in the world. And I mean the pronounced a certain way. The LTA. The All England Tennis Club. And your court should be the best tennis court in the world.

Bye for now.
