TORREY OAKS AND PEACE RIVER PICKLEBALL TOURNAMENT (SUPPLEMENT)

SUPPLEMENT TO ORIGINAL POSTING

The two collages at the beginning of the original article may not have printed properly. Hopefully they will be OK in this reprint of the first section of the article. For the rest of the article, please refer to the original posting. SORRY!

March 13 – Stan organized a fun tournament for players from both Torrey Oaks and Peace River. There were about 23 players – 11 women and 12 men; and there seemed to be about an equal number of players from each park.

With so many players, we decided we would use Rally Scoring where a point is scored by one team or the other on every serve. (Normally, in Pickleball, you only score when your team is serving.) Rally Scoring makes the games go much more quickly.

We all had a great time, even if we were not one of the winners shown below!!

Here are some of the participants and spectators.

RV FIRE AT TT PEACE RIVER

March 11 – Some excitement today at Peace River. We were surprised to see a fire engine pass by our site heading right down our road. Soon it was followed by another and another and a fourth!! They all stopped down at the other end of our road where our friends, Tom and Marge, were camped. We decided to walk down to be certain they were OK.

The reason for all the commotion was a refrigerator fire in a recent model Monaco Diplomat. It appeared the owners were not at home and the front door window had to be broken to allow access by the firemen.

Ken, Tom and Marge joined the crowd of spectators. We wish the owners good luck. Thank goodness no one was injured.

TACOS AT EL TACORIENDO

March 10 – One of our favorite places for quick, easy Mexican is El Tacoriendo – a small authentic Mexican joint in Zolfo Springs, about 2 miles from TT Peace River. The Tacos are really good and the price is right!! Today we invited a group of Pickleball friends to join us for Tacos.

Owners of El Tacoriendo. They have been at this locations (from San Antionio) for many years. They serve breakfast and lunch only, closing at 2 PM so we have to get there before that!!

Our group today: Diane, Carol, Sam, Renate, Heinz, Tom, Marge, Ken, Faye and Cal.

Here's the group from the other end of the table.
