This is the first time we've played pickleball on a Saturday. We played this morning at 9:00 and had 11 players. Ken and I got to the courts just past 8:30 and Bob T. arrived a few minutes after us. Bob just got back home yesterday from 4 months in Florida. It is good to have him back. The 3 of us had to catch up on things and Bob told us that he has ordered the new Apike paddle. That will be interesting to see how it plays when he gets it. We started hitting some balls and Steve arrived so we started the first game. The players today were Bob T., Steve, Ralph, Jan, John, Carol, Johnny, Mike, Joanie, Ken and I. Jan came for about an hour and helped out till the other players could get there. She had to leave early to go on a family camping trip. It was beautiful weather today. Once the sun got up we warmed up and there was really no wind. Most of us played in shorts and t-shirts. It was nice to get such a good turnout for our first ever Saturday pickleball session. We missed Ron and Sharon. They opted for a hike with our hiking club instead of pickleball. Hope the weather next week will let us have a couple of good days for pickleball and we'll all get together again. Lynn
P.S. I guess I got so excited about everyone coming that I forgot to take some pictures, so shown above are the new Apike paddles that are being made in China.
