Pickleball Friday 4-24-09

Hot today. In the high 80's, but wind was not an issue for a change. Present: Ralph, Mike, Bob H. Sharon & this reporter. We had several good games and some laughs, because Mike was in his best form.
Five women were playing tennis on the other court. A few took an interest in our match and the game in particular. We let them hit the ball around a little with our extra paddles. Two of the quintet wanted to learn more about the game. Mike secured an Email address from one of the interested parties. My guess is that he'll forward it to the P'ball Group or send her the Web page address.
Mike's wife Ann and a friend stopped by to watch us play. Mike easily convinced Ann to join us for a game. Ann has played tennis in the past and has played pickleball one time with Mike. She did well and, as a matter of fact, she & Mike beat Sharon and me in a "squeaker", 11-1. Just kidding of course, the final score was 11-9.
It looks like were are in for a string of nice but warm weather. We decided that we will start scheduling AM sessions, starting next week.
Ron & Sharon
