Pickleball Monday 1-5-09

The day started out rainy and foggy this morning but by 1:00 pickleball time the sun came out and we had a beautiful afternoon for pickleball. It was in the upper 60's and a little breezy.

There were 11 present for pickleball today......Ron, Sharon, Bing, Steve, Ralph, Jan, Elaine, Anne, Joanie, Ken and I. It was really nice to have a good turnout after the holidays.

Looks like more rain this week but hopefully by Friday we can all get together again for more pickleball.

Hope to C U on D Courts....Lynn

Pickleball Tuesday 12-30-08

Five showed up for Pickleball on this 65 degree, breezy day. And, the last Pickleball event for 2008! Present: Jan, Bob H., Elaine, Sharon & Ron. We played games of seven so the 'odd man or woman out' could rotate in without sitting too long. Elaine left early, so we - the remaining four - played games to eleven and changed partners and sides at the end of each game. The team facing west had to contend with the sun - now low in the sky and a challenge when receiving high serves or lobs from those with the sun at their backs. Of course, no one would do such a thing on purpose?

Pickleball Friday 12-12-08

Some of our missing pickleball players showed back up today. We were pleasantly surprised. Claude has moved back into the area and Lynne S. came back today. We hadn't seen Claude since last spring. It was great to have both of them back.

There was a good group for pickleball today. There were 11 all total. The most we've had in a while. The players were Ron, Sharon, Elaine, Jan, Ralph, Mike, Claude, Lynne S., Bob H., Ken and I. Ron and Sharon were already working on the courts when we got there. We've had a lot of rain over the past 3 days so there were lots of puddles on the courts. So Ken and I hurried on down to the courts with our squeegee and broom and started helping them to spread the water out. It didn't take too long to have the courts playable. The sun was out for the first time in 3 days and it really wasn't too cold. Some of us were in shorts. The wind wasn't too bad at first but seemed to pick up as the afternoon went along.

Ron and Sharon are going to organize the pickleball sessions for a couple of weeks now so I hope they get some good turnouts for play. We really appreciate their willingness to keep things going.

Remember to always be on the alert for potential picklers.

Hope to C U on D courts!!!......Lynn

Pickleball Friday 11-28-08

We had 9 regular players and 2 guest players today. Jan's two sisters, Joanne and Elaine, came to check out pickleball and played a couple of games with us. They seemed to like it. The regular players were Bob T., Steve, Ralph, Anne, Mike, Bob H., Jan, Lynn and Ken. It was perfect weather for pickleball, shorts and t-shirts and no wind. Today was Bob T.'s last day as he is headed to Florida for 4 months but he should be coming back up here once a month so hopefully he'll get to play with us once a month at least. We sure will miss him. The competition between Mike and Ralph and Steve and Lynn continued today and we are even.
Hope to see everyone next week. Ron and Sharon should be back and also John and maybe Lynne. It was nice to have Anne back today.
