A friend of mine here plays 3 hours a day, every day. They’ve converted the tennis courts to eight pickle ball courts which is probably often the case. I noticed a more up-scale resort west of here (The Springs at Boregga) advertises tennis but in their gallery it’s clear they’ve converted to pickle ball. I’m hoping to get my knee fixed soon so I can add it to rowing and biking. Having three sports to travel on would be nice, and golf just doesn't seem to be working for me.

I read the rules today. Looked at paddles ($6 - $250), found that there is pickle ball attire (just dink it), special shoes of course, indoor and outdoor balls…..so much to learn.

Boy, talk about irony...
This just popped up in my feed.

I guess there's more than just the sport "taking off"! Heaven help us!!
