54 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | NOVEMBER 2020 As we enter into fall and things continue to open up, we had several players from our active Pickleball group enter the San Bernardino Senior Games held Oct. 3 and 4 at the Perris Hills Park. As our group continues to practice and play and become more and more competitive, we have become a force to be reckoned with in the southern California Pickleball world. Silver and Gold medals were obtained in two separate competitions: Silver medals went to Lorenzo Amaya and David Burchartz for Men's Doubles 3.0. Gold medals were awarded to Vicki Gonzales and Karen Rose for Women's Doubles 3.0. On Sunday, competition continued fiercely and again Four Seasons Beaumont produced gold medal winners in the area of Mixed Doubles 3.0: Yundell Montalbo-Linton and Keith Linton. Congratulations to all of our Four Seasons competitors! Continuing to focus on pickleball players new to the sport, we have a first-time gold medalist to introduce: Vicki Gonzales. Vicki moved to Four Seasons just over a year ago. When she and her spouse agreed to help friends move to Four Seasons, they had NO idea that their lives were about to change. While helping to move couches and boxes they fell in love with Four Seasons, as so many of us have, and moved here in February 2019. Vicki was still working full-time for the Los Angeles Unified School District. After commuting for almost a year, Vicki retired in January 2020, and began to play pickleball in earnest. Her life began to change again. The pandemic began, pickleball stopped, and Vicki lost her spouse in May. Pickleball has become a passion for her and she credits our Four Seasons players for helping her achieve her goals of becoming a better player, and to understand and incorporate strategy into her game. Vicki loves everything about Four Seasons, especially pickleball and the people who play. And we are grateful, Vicki, that you chose Four Seasons to call your home. Throughout the months of September and October there has been friendly competition occurring on changing nights of the week… look for MORE information on THAT next month! Until then, keep on pickling! ~ Julie Stayner, (307) 413-1237 Pickleball Check with your club contact to confirm meeting place, date, and time.
