Ive been playing Pickleball for 9 years and teaching for 6. I used to play a ton of golf and comment on this site. Recently helped teach a pickleball clinic at Milwaukee CC. I caddied there when i was like 12 so that was a hoot. We played over the tennis nets right next to the 5th fairway. Never thought id see that day ... game is loud, not just the ball hitting the paddle, its the laughter as well ha

I know 2 guys my age, mid 40s, who’ve torn their Achilles in the last month playing pickle ball


Played in the member-guest at a prominent Midwest club about 10 years ago.  First I'd heard of pickleball, and it was described as an activity very popular with retirees.  We got paired with two active (at the time) NHLers in the second round, one at the tail end of his career, but without a contract.  We got paired with them again in the third round, but only one of them answered the bell.  The free agent blew out his knee playing pickleball the night before.  I got the sense they played with a bit more intensity than most retirees.

Along with replacing our 50+ yr old pool and pool house, and renovating our bunkers with capillary concrete, my club will be adding 4 pickleball courts as part of an upcoming capital project. I’m sure that in time, I will get used to the sound.

   So, we’re telling pickleball stories.  OK. I consider myself a competent racquet person, having played 4 years of intercollegiate squash back when the hard ball was in use. (That should date me to those who understand.)
   I played pickleball during winters 2-3 years ago. It was a good workout in the Dominican heat, and I was competent, not good. One day I retreated for a lob, wasn’t as fast as I thought, and my feet went out from under me.  I hit the back of my head on the court, am told I made quite a noise and was out for a few seconds, and remained wobbly for a few hours. Never again.
