golf: $4m. (2.7%)
pool maintenance: $3.5m (2.4%)
recreation supplies: $0.4m (0.27%)

pickleballs are probably part of the recreation supplies which might also include bocce balls, corn hole bags, table shuffleboard sand, pool noodles, water weights, etc. At $142k the pickleballs account for 1/3 the recreation supplies or 0.097% of the overall amenities budget.
thank you for that prescient information. Proves how off the mark the original point was.
