It was a grrrreat day for outdoor pickleball with the Welland Pickleball Club in Welland, Ontario today, December 11th!! 10C and sunshine all around! Everyone had to shed a layer ...or two! We had two full courts going a still a few people waiting to play. Would be nice to have this weather until... April! :D

Some say the paddle has been repurposed as a Verizon satellite dish. Don't be like this guy. Read the Dink. Improve your game.

2017... Good times!

Congratulations to Barrie, Ontario (my previous home town for 25 years) on getting even MORE PICKEBALL courts!!!

Twas the night before Christmas and out on the court Us picklers were pickling, a rambunctious sort. Our bags were all hung on a fence, by a hook But if you bro...ught an X40, they'd give you a look! The pros were all gathered on courts 1 and 2. Wearing paddle company shirts, so we knew who was who. The rest of us spread out and did what we could To get praise from strangers, telling us we were good. The first person I noticed, was giving instruction. She was a dominant, sideways-hat-wearing Russian. Her mixed partner was patient, but could put it away. He was a Head of the rest, a Canadian, eh! The team they were playing had done this before. Mixed partners? Maybe, could it be something more? The lefty had quick hands, not afraid to assert. And his partner was blonder, with a UPA shirt. Other players showed up, some early, some late. Two athletic young ladies from Michigan State. With cheeseburger clothes, one guy was a bright dresser. And another young lady, they all called, The Professor. There was a German with muscles, at least on one arm. And the Paddletek Prince led the way with his charm. A mother and daughter that wore matching clothes. And a new guy that knows all the Legacy Pros. Now back to our court, where we lack all the skill. Cuz we'd rather do rec play, than get out and drill. But we take it real serious, and wear pickleball clothes. With the name of our sponsor, so everyone knows. Four hours later and my phone had rang. Of course it's my wife, please...just one more game? Which really meant two, or two out of three. Pickleball addiction is as real as can be! The drop shots were solid, no need for a drive. And the dinking was good, long rallies we'd strive. The weather was chilly, and wind filled the air I wanted to lob, like I hadn't a care The other team's ready, with shirts matching red And visions of Ben Johns must be in their head. They take two steps back, with eyes open wide And my beautiful lob , well the wind had just died. When all of a sudden, there arose such a clatter First thought was Scott Golden, with his chitter-chatter No, it wasn't talking, but an engine of sort. Couldn't quite see the driver, he must've been short. The truck had been painted with logos and signs And had a faint smell, of Corona and limes. The driver stepped out, with a Florida tan. Claiming he could play Pickleball, with a drink in his hand. So he played a few games, got a loss and some wins "Now on to the next town," he said with a grin. He got to his truck and he jumped on the hood. "Merry Christmas to y'all, "It's Fun To Feel Good."

The secret behind her.... :)
