He gave limited pointers in a gracious manner. He is heading back north, otherwise I would have scheduled with him again. An absolute joy to play with, even though he is light years ahead of me skill-wise.
Pickleball? Seems some folks quickly revert to the 8th grade and forget that at one time, they were beginners too.

Golf isn't PB. If you get paired with a weaker player, it doesn't ruin
your game aside from maybe slowing down the pace a bit. In PB, a weak partner completely spoils the game for an advanced player. For that matter, so does a weak opponent. I just don't understand why beginner and adv beginner players don't prefer to play with people at their own level. It's more fun for everyone if you stay in your lane.
