Mad Dogs and Englishmen
Singles Tournament
From AAACTA President, Patrick Lee

The week's event brought to mind a catchphrase applied liberally during summers at my father's stodgy old clay-court club in the Chicago area: Mad Dogs and Englishmen. The phrase originates in 1931. Noel Coward wrote a song of that title on a trip from Hanoi to Saigon. He was noting the tropical climate resident's tendency to avoid the midday heat. 
 
Mad Dogs and Englishmen, go out in the midday sun.
The smallest Malay rabbit deplores this stupid habit...
