2009 PICKLEBALL TOURNAMENT, CHESAPEAKE BAY

What a great Pickleball tournament we had on Sunday, September 6, at TT Chesapeake Bay!! We had 25 participants this year, compared with 14 players in 2008. There were so many players that we, at the request of some of the women, divided the competition into a Women’s Tournament and a Men’s Tournament. I think it was FUN FOR ALL!!! We want to say “Thank You” to all of the participants. “Keep up the good game.”
