Tennis courts are empty in the afternoons as well. The reason is the heat. Any court player will not play at 2 pm or on in July. Changing the time you play is not a viable option in the afternoon heat. People play pickleball and tennis in the morning and golf after that, as golf is not as enervating as running around a court under hot sun.

Rohan's head is in the clouds if he thinks there are enough pickleball courts in TV. Hopefully after Brady & friends build their PB center on 466 (at $1K+ dues per year), many people will opt for that, opening up some space for others, especially in the 7-9 am spot.

They could go to a reservation system the way they do in golf. But they don't seem interested in providing that service, even if people paid a monthly fee like they do for golf. What a money-maker: install software and sit back.
