To: The Board of Old Westbury Golf and Country Club
We, the undersigned members and supporters of the Old Westbury Golf and Country Club, respectfully urge the Board not to move forward with proposed closures or restrictions affecting the club’s tennis and fitness programs—specifically:
• The potential elimination of Monday practices for the Ladies Tennis Teams,
• The proposed closure of the fitness center on Mondays, and
• Restricted use of the adjacent indoor tennis court on Mondays.
These changes would significantly reduce access to essential facilities on the one day many members rely on for practice, training, and exercise. Monday practices are the only consistent time available for Ladies Tennis Teams to train without conflicts. Closing the fitness center and indoor court on the same day would further limit opportunities for year-round wellness, tennis development, and active participation for all members—both women and men.
To date, no clear justification has been provided for these proposed changes. Their implementation would feel punitive to the very members who actively use and support these facilities and programs.
We strongly encourage the Board to reconsider these restrictions and instead reaffirm its commitment to maintaining a vibrant, inclusive, and well-supported tennis community at Old Westbury.
Sincerely,
Members and supporters of the Old Westbury Tennis and Fitness Community

I am a golf member and I use the gym more than I use anything else at the club. I am there most Monday mornings. Would be very disappointed if it’s closed mondays.
I have consistently used the gym year round every Monday for many years. It would be very disappointing to me if it was closed (on Monday’s) as I value the gym and it’s accessibility as an important part of my club membership experience.
The indoor tennis court is wonderful and special. As a working person, I have been using the indoor court on Mondays for many years. I would be extremely upset if the Monday day is closed.
The Monday ladies tennis practices are well attended and make use of the empty courts! I know the fitness center being open is a convenience that many members use and enjoy. I urge the board not to restrict this usage. Thank you!
I workout in the gym with the trainer Monday and Wed essay morning and I look forward to it. I have been doing this for need to workout 2x a week. The rest of the week I am busy morning.
I have been going to the gym on Mondays for over 20 years. There is absolutely no need to close the gym or the tennis court on Mondays.
I also use the gym most Mondays. Also play tennis on Mondays. Would be very disappointing to lose the gym and tennis courts on Mondays. Ned Dorman

I have used the fitness center almost every Monday since 2018. I would be very disappointed to lose Mondays. Pls keep the fitness center open.
