Pickleball ruled at Tanglewood for the last two days. Friday was mens and ladies doubles matches. Saturday was mixed doubles matches. We witnessed some great matches and, as a photographer, referee and player (all at different times of course), I managed to get a ringside seat for most of the games. We met many new friends and got reacquainted with some old ones too. I think this event was a definite homerun for Tanglewood and my thanks to Wayne Roswell and the many, many volunteers for helping to bring it all together.
I only played on Friday as my mixed doubles partner was back in Ottawa bringing in the bacon unfortunately. Travis Weaver, a great player and friend, who we met in Peace River last year, carried me as his mens double partner for much of the day. He even had to come down into my age 50-59 age group. What a guy! Anyway, I think we played 10 games on a very long and hot day. We even managed to take the silver medal. Not too shabby.
As the guy who is normally taking the photographs, I don't usually get to be the subject of many of them. My thanks to Roy Boisvert for sending me the one you see here. Nice job Roy! For those of you looking for my tournament photos, they are now available for viewing on my Smugmug page. Just click the title of this blog entry and you should be sent there.
