My Ocean Springs: 2007 in Pictures

Few small towns have a country club exclusively devoted to the sport of tennis, but Treasure Oak Country Club has been serving the tennis community of Ocean Springs since 1964. Legend has it that pirates once buried gold under a special oak tree on the premises, and though no gold has ever been found, the legend of the “treasure oak” carries on in its country club namesake. In addition to tennis, Treasure Oak provides both swimming and boating facilities for its members. Steve Pennington, once named Southern Tennis Professional of the Year, is the tennis pro and club manager, a job that keeps him busy in a variety of ways, including hosting three USTA sanctioned regional tennis tournaments every year.
