Wondering what's new in the world of pickleball? On Oct. 4,
Terry Mata and Scott Ross were awarded silver medals in their
respective age groups after competing in the Oldlympics that
were held in Hemet on Sept. 18. Eighty players competed in
the pickleball event, and we are all very proud of our medalists!
Following our tournament on Oct. 1, we crowned Karen
Nichols as winner of the women's division and Bruce Dalfonso
and Scott Daniels as co-winners of the men's division.
Congratulations to all who competed! Then on Oct. 13, eight
Colony pickleballers took to the road and competed against The
Four Seasons players in a morning of excellent competition,
sportsmanship and FUN! The next event will be held at The
Colony, and we hope you will join us.
Also in October, the USA Pickleball organization published the
proposed rule changes for 2023. The changes cover everything
from spinning serves to the color of clothing worn. If you
would like to view the complete official pickleball rulebook and
proposed changes, please visit https://usapickleball.org. If you
would like to see competitive, jaw-dropping hours of pickleball,
please meet us at the courts each morning. Pickleball is a great
sport, easy to learn and a wonderful way to meet new friends.
Please give me a call if you would like free lessons to join this
ever-growing sport. See you on the courts!
