Pickleball Friday 7-10-09

Ron, Carol, Lynne S. & Ken

It was cloudy this morning and it made a nice time for pickleball. The sun hardly came out the whole time we played. There were 13 pickleball players today......Bob T., Steve, Pete P., Ralph, Lynne S., Ron, Sharon, Joanie, Johnny, Carol, Anne, Ken & I. It was great to have Ron and Sharon back from CT. The firemen were in the park doing an orienteering event and watching us play. I think they would have rather been playing our game instead of theirs. Steve played hooky from work and joined us. Nice to see him back out on the court. He might be wiseing up. Hopefully we can get in 2 days of pickleball next week. Tuesday looks ok for now so hope we can all get together again then. C U on D Courts!!! Lynn

A brief History of the Upstate Pickleball Group

Ken and Lynn Corbett discovered Pickleball at Highland Lakes Community in Leesburg, Fl. in the spring of 2007. With the help of their friends, Ron and Sharon Blake, they started a pickleball group in Greenville in the fall of 2007. Many UPGers have worked hard to keep the group operational, to increase our membership and to improve the skill level of all players. If you read the posts about "The Passing Of The Pickle", you will learn about some of those folks.

The UPG currently has about 50 active players, although many more than that have played with us over the years. The UPG now plays almost exclusively at Gower Park in Greenville where we have access to 5 tennis courts that have Pickleball lines.
