SOLERA DIAMOND VALLEY | DECEMBER 2018 15 By Mabel Durand SDV Pickleball Club Vice President, Resident October was a busy month here on our island with so many awesome fun things to do at the Lodge! The SDV Pickleball Club added to the activities with our Annual Fall Men's and Ladies Tournaments and a Pickleball Club Margaritaville Poolside Party! The men's tournament was held on October 19. There were 12 men who participated. One of the best men's tournaments ever! There was some heated court action games going on; spins this way and that, slams, drop shots and lobs, resulting in a tie of 88 points each between Wang Lim and Phillip Brealey. Wang broke the tie with his straight eight game wins earning 1st place and Phillip earning 2nd had seven game wins and one game loss. Greg Krebs with his accurate lob placements way in the back court gave him a 3rd place finish. More club action came the following Saturday at the community outdoor pool. The pickleballers had a beautiful sunset Margaritaville poolside bbq party. The action came as teams had to put the lime in the coconut and drink it all up; oops that's a song, I mean put the lime between your legs and drop it in the bucket! Tasty food, a cool Margarita and good friends asking the question of the night about that darn "lost? of salt"… So just had to play Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville a few times! The ladies tournament was October 26. There were 10 ladies who participated. It got a little hot out there weather wise… felt like a hot summer day! The ladies kept spectators entertained as they had their spins, drop shots, lobs and slam action going on. Mary Ellen Brogdon took 1st place with her impressive seven game wins and one game loss. Only a few points below Mary Ellen, Kay Grasso came in 2nd and just a few points below Kay, Janet Davis coming in 3rd. I came in a close 4th… SDV Pickleball Club Fall Tournaments & Poolside Partying
