FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | MARCH 2017 49
The sport of pickleball is one of the fastest growing sports
nationwide. We, too, are seeing our pickleball family increase here
at Four Seasons. The following photos represent players waiting
to play a game. One side is for players who won a game, the other
side represents players who lost their game. The official pickleball
rule is that a team wins after scoring 11 points. However, when
we have a large number of players waiting to play as seen in these
photos, we reduce the winning score so that players don't have
to wait so long for a game. What's the solution for this problem?
More courts!
If you are fairly new to our sport, please contact us so that you
can be included on our phone tree/roster. We are planning to have
some future training sessions as we have done in the past and we
want to be sure we have current names, emails and phone numbers.
Beginners to this sport are encouraged to attend our Thursday
session at 1 pm. This is the time to start learning about this game
and meet some great people.

Pickleball

Our latest Play Day had a miniscule turnout. A mere half dozen
weather-immune players showed up to attempt to play in gale-force
winds. But, because they were out of bed and dressed for tennis (sort
of ), everybody played at least for a while. The less intrepid folks gave
up trying to figure out where the tennis ball was going to land in a
sideways gust of wind, and retreated to Smitty's for another breakfast
burrito. The rest of the group played on until everyone's comb-over
was blasted to the west by the easterly winds. Ah, Blowmont and the
Breeze.
Having been rained out one month and blown out the next, in the
absence of locusts and other pestilence, we will gather again for open
tennis play on the last Saturday of the month. Please come on out.
It's a blast!
