PICKLEBALL BOOMS AT TT CHESAPEAKE BAY

This past summer (2008) a strange thing happened!! Suddenly, lots of people started playing Pickleball. They came out every morning – wanted paddles and balls -- wanted to know how to play. We ordered more Paddles and balls. We gave lots of lessons. The new players, of course, taught their friends to play. And now we have a really good group of Pickleball players at TT Chesapeake Bay!!!







Eddie, Ken, Keith and Mark















Tim, Gilbert, Scott and Julie (Tim’s wife)













Scott, MikeE (hidden), Gilbert and Mike






Players then began asking, “How can I get a Pickle Pin?” “I want a Pickle Pin!” So, Faye conducted Pickle Pinning Ceremonies for the new players who showed enthusiasm and an indication that they loved the game!!



Faye gives a rousing “O”vation before pinning for some of the local players.
