I played in the PB Seniors in Zephyr Hills in December and they had Padel. I had no idea what the courts were. It's like a cross between platform tennis and jai'lai. Check it out on YouTube...crazy...
Rick Reilly is a funny guy. I'm deeply offended. He mentioned the torn achilles. I tore mine the very first time I ever played PB...yet, like an idiot, I returned. Now I have "pickleball elbow", yet, like an idiot, I continue to play around it. What else am I going to do?
Reilly is really in his wheelhouse when he writes about golf. I'm sure he offended a few when he wrote "Commander in Cheat".
