FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | DECEMBER 2025 57
Here we are, basking in the glow of a fantastic
fall pickleball season as we look forward to winter!
And honestly, if the winter season is even half as
beautiful as this fall, we are in for some absolutely gorgeous days on
the courts. Can you believe it? As I'm writing this, I think we were
only sidelined by wind or rain maybe three days total. Otherwise, it
has been one perfect play-day after another!
Speaking of perfect days, our club hosted the most fun and fabulous
event: the Fall Four Seasons Tournament! This year, we celebrated
by inviting guests 55 and older from outside our community to join
us, and wow, did it turn out to be an amazing day. It was filled with
awesome competition, incredible play, wonderful camaraderie, and
so, so many laughs. It was truly a day to remember.
A huge congratulations to all our incredible competitors. Here are
the results from our tournament:
Women:
3.0-3.5
Gold: Carol Ward and Nancy Barnaby
Silver: Maria Ohms and Nancy Hessin
Bronze: Laura Burton and Dyann Miller

A massive THANK YOU goes out to the incredible David Martin
and the entire pickleball steering committee, along with our
wonderful volunteers. It truly takes a village to pull off such a
tournament, and they made it all look easy. Their hard work behind
the scenes ensured that everything ran seamlessly, making the
entire tournament an absolute joy for everyone to play in. We are
so grateful for everything you do. Above are a few fun photos from
our amazing day.
Can't wait to see you all on the courts! ~ Shelley Allard,
