PickleBall Fix: June 25, 2021
What a week! The PARC courts opened on Tuesday, June 22. Starting at 7am approximately 45 members were signed up for Open Play. At 6pm Next Paddle Up kept the courts busy until heavy thunderstorms brought play to a halt. That did not end the fun, however, as refreshments and champagne enabled members to toast the long awaited court opening.
Donny’s Wed Night ABCD had approximately 40 members playing on the new courts followed by more snacks, desserts and margaritas to celebrate.
There have been so many positive comments from players and visitors about the courts and complex since it opened on Tuesday. Here are just a few:
--Another great asset to our beautiful community.
--Absolutely beautiful and very functional. Awesome. Impressive.
--Good to see cars, carts and people there at 7am today!!!
--So happy it is finished.
--Thanks to everyone who was involved in this project.
Snowbirds also sent their comments:
Looks amazing!! It’s beautiful,--can’t wait to play on them when we get back to our happy place. Fantastic! Looking forward to our return to play on these amazing courts.
One relatively new TPPC Club member/player wrote as follows:
I have just started playing (30) days now and I find it to be truly enjoyable for all skill levels. But most of all are the welcoming members who go out of their way to help and make you feel like a part of the pickleball community.
So snowbirds and vacationers, hurry back—the courts are waiting for you!
