Friday, Sept. 12th.
When we sent out the notice for Friday's pickleball gathering, the weather forecast was favorable for the day. But, the next day the forecast was changed to very marginal weather with about a 70% chance of rain most of the day. It was misting when we headed to Cleveland Park, but stopped before we arrived at the courts - all empty. There was some dampness on the courts, and the chalk lines needed some touching up. We took care of that in short order. Unfortunately, no one else showed up - probably due to the ominous forecast. So, we practiced for about an hour and developed a few kill shots that we can't wait to try out during competition!
On the way home, we detoured to Timmons Park and were able to access the tennis (P'ball) courts. We are very happy to announce that new red p'ball sidelines have been painted on both courts. We have emailed Kevin Stein of the City Park Department to see when the lines will be finished. We want to start playing at Timmons soon, but we don't want to arrive to play and see that we can't play because the line-painting is in progress. Will advise.
Here's hoping we have better luck with the weather forecasts.
Ron & Sharon
