Robert J. Murray: URI’s tennis courts
01:00 AM EDT on Tuesday, June 30, 2009
The coach’s “fix” for the tennis courts at URI (“Home-court disadvantage,” news, March 28) for $20,000 appears to be inadequate. That the cracking occurs every year should tell the big thinkers that fooling with the asphalt is not going to solve the problem. Part of the problem appears to be water under the courts that freezes and expands every winter, causing the asphalt to rise, but not uniformly. However, given the severity of the problem it seems reasonable for the big thinkers to hire someone with asphalt experience to view the site and offer his or her opinion as to the possible cause and effective remediation.
