In a pickle.
Yesterday, I took my very first pickleball lesson.
i have never played or even seen the game up close and personal.
I was curious as to what all the hoopla was about.
I need to be deprogrammed.
I spent years playing tennis and pickleball is the antithesis.
Do not move, no big swings, push the ball, stay out of the kitchen, no lobs.
The instructor kept telling me to stay still and yet I felt compelled to keep my feet moving.
Until next week, I need to keep repeating my pickleball mantras and double fault on my tennis instincts.

That is awesome, I am learning too
Actually I have created tours to play pickleball in Portugal
Great idea! Stay out of the kitchen?
So—how did ‘it’ get the name???
The origin of Pickleball and how its name came about is shrouded in mystery and urban legend. This game was invented about 60 years ago, and how it came to be called Pickleball is a hotly discussed topic worldwide.
Even the creators of what is deemed the quickest-growing sport in the United States have differing accounts of where the name ‘pickleball’ originated. However, one thing is certain: it has no relation with pickles.
