In the interim, we have been busy playing at the Valley Wide courts on Esplanade. As the Valley Wide Oldlympics were due to be held on Oct. 1 and 2, we needed to get some practice in, and it was well worth the drive. Our players excelled at the Oldlympic matches. We fielded 10 players who paired up for doubles and mixed doubles matches. There were 10 medals were awarded to our players, which were received at the annual Banquet held on Oct. 4. The group picture featured is some, but not all, of our Four Seasons participants at the banquet. Our medal winners are: Ann Lyon, one silver and one gold; Joan Greene, two silver; Trish Moorhouse, one silver; Mason Arnold, one gold; Mike Simon, two silver, and Mitch Lane, one silver and one gold. Pickleball: Pickleball is a sport in which there are more and more players picking up a paddle and ball to play. While the courts are being redone in Four Seasons, we have been fortunate to have been allowed to continue playing at the Golden Village Palms RV Park. We have all made many new friends through this opportunity!
