Bobby Taylor, Greene Ridge Racquet Club’s owner and operator, played tennis for one year at Western Carolina University before dropping out. He worked mowing lawns for 20 years, and in 2000, he used his savings to build the club, which he designed. He explains how he began developing tennis in the area in the 1980s. He started the first local tournament in 1982, and in 1990 orchestrated an NTRP tournament through a tennis nonprofit he created with Donald Clark, the tennis coach at Greene County’s high school. Tennis took off . Now Greene County hosts league state championships and has 32 USTA league teams.
