Default Thank you to everyone supporting Pickleball.

In what I understand the local jargon to be, I am a snowflake. We come and go on a very irregular basis. In June, my son and I were introduced to pickleball. Everyone who taught us was a volunteer. Everyone we were able to play with was helpful and gracious. This is just one part of why we love TV. Thanks to all of you who have taught us, played with or against us, given us advice, etc.

Thank you in advance, golfers, for staying off the pickle ball courts!

English, you are soon to be hooked. We're still playing with the same group we learned with three years ago. And still going to free clinics, one of which is filled up every time, even in the summer. The instructors are so committed to furthering the sport.

Our friends in Mt. Olive Shores are jealous because they only have two courts. And they had to fight to get those converted from tennis courts. People thought it would be too dangerous and injuries would occur. Like you don't get injured playing tennis...
