We'll defer to you and your club before we do any celebrating here. We wouldn't want to have any fun or excitement of which your boys at the "Country Club of Really Large Greens" would not approve.

Reminds me of the other day, on #8, Mallory-Virginia. The tee box is close to the pickleball courts. From the courts you could hear whooping, laughing, and human sounds I would associate with happiness, and fun. I commented to my playing partners , "hear that? Hear that laughing, and joking, and general happiness? That's pickleball. Thank goodness we don't go for that nonsense on this side of the fence, where we recognize that our recreation is an exercise in futility, anger, and frustration."

It's good that we honor places like "The Country Club With Really Big Greens" and members thereof to remind us of our plight.
Hopefully, Pickleball is giving out "Participation Medals".
