A retirement party for Riviera Country Club’s former Director of Tennis Pam Austin will be held from 5 to 9 p.m. Friday, July 1, at Riviera‘s upper courts.
No reservations required to attend and cocktails and desserts will be served. There will be Riv Ball and music by D.J. Oskar.
Austin, 66, is the older sister of two-time U.S. Open champion Tracy Austin. She served as the tennis director for 12 years at Riviera where one of her primary roles was organizing and promoting the Women’s All-American Tennis Championships, an NCAA singles and doubles event held every October at Riviera.
Austin played her collegiate tennis at UCLA. She won the U.S. Hardcourt doubles championship with Tam O’Shaughnessy in 1970, won the National Amateur doubles championship with Margie Cooper in 1971, played for the U.S. Jr. Wightman Cup team and was a member of the 1974 World Team Tennis champion Denver Racquets along with her brother Jeff.
She was named the USPTA Southern California Pro of the Year in 2001.
