We had a great time at the pickleball tournament. There were 9 in the Hendersonville group and 6 of us. John drove his van and Steve, Bob T., Ken and I rode up with him. We met at Publix and picked up Bob at Walmart in TR. Then Lynne S. rode back with us. Bill took Lynne there and dropped her off.
The Hendersonville group had also invited the Waynesville and Asheville groups but they didn't come, probably because of the gas shortage. Lynne and I (Lynn) played together in the ladies doubles. First we played against 2 ladies and beat them 2 games. They were Susan and Mary. Then we had to play 2 more ladies (they were better players). They were Jennifer and Martha. We beat them the first game, they beat us the second game and we almost beat them the third but....so we came in second place.
In the men's doubles Steve and Bob played together and Ken and John played together.
In the mixed doubles I played with Steve, Lynne played with a man named Pete, Bob played with Martha, John played with Jennifer (the best female player), Ken played with Mary. Bob and Martha won the mixed doubles but John and Jennifer came in second.
The only accident was that Lynne S. fell and when she did she bent her fingers back on her left hand. She says she's ok now but she did put ice on them and took some ibuprofin.
The meal was good....baked potatoes, different salads and lots of deserts. They even gave out prizes and Lynne and I got ribbons for 2nd place. Bob and Martha got medals for 1st place and John and Jennifer got ribbons for 2nd place. It was very nice the way they had everything done. Everyone got a little gift.
Maybe more of the group will go next year.
Hope to C U on D courts....Lynn
