Pickleball Friday 5-1-09

We had a very good turnout for Pickleball today, even though the weather looked marginal. Overcast, a little breeze. We even had a few sprinkles to keep us on our toes.
Present: Bob H, Bob T, Dan, Anne, Carol, Johnny, Jan, Sharon and this messenger.
Dan tried to butter us up by bringing home-made Toll House cookies and a little canvas folding table so the cookies could be properly displayed and served. We pounded down the cookies, but kept Dan busy on the court in spite of his generosity.
We utilized both courts and switched players around after each game. When our numbers started to decline, near the end of the session, we played Canada Doubles on one court and doubles on the other. Everyone played hard and many fine shots were made.
Anne, as strong as ever, mangled one of the balls (See picture). It may have been a back-hand shot, or perhaps an overhand kill shot. No one is saying.
Looking forward to more matches next week. Will check the weather and plan accordingly.
We are also hoping Steve, Lynne and some of our other long-lost players start showing up again and we are looking forward to the return of Ken & Lynn.
