Hank Quinn was a player and teaching pro well known on the tennis circuit in the pre-Open era. He was the coach of the victorious US Davis Cup team in 1948. Hank was the first tennis pro at Birchwood starting with the club opening in 1961 and served for two and a half decades through the mid 1980s. For these reasons, the Birchwood Tennis Hut and Club Championship Trophy are named in honor of Hank Quinn.
