City squash vs. suburban squash

At the spouse's behest, I went to Bay Club San Francisco to practice last night. Just about every weeknight, there's a challenge court with about half dozen participants. So last night I got to play 4 different people. I encountered players at different levels not very far off from mine. The flavor was distinctly international. I played someone from the UK and someone middle eastern or muslim. There was an out of towner and several Americans in the lot. While the competition didn't seem any stronger, there was an intensity I don't feel at the PAC. Overall, I enjoyed playing a variety of personalities and styles.

Just as a postscript, I have to make a note of not playing like my opponent. One woman I played ended up pulling me into playing her style, a slow but short.
