The Sea Dogs

On April 24th and 25th over a dozen hearty Bay Staters traveled to South Portland to participate in a pickleball tournament. It began with a dinner at Joe's Boathouse Restaurant in South Portland followed by a sleepover in a Best Western complete with massage chairs. Then on Saturday we did battle.

Two trophies were awarded. As I understand it, Jill got a trophy for getting a trophy a month ago, and Jim received a golden pickleball trophy for having the best pompadour. Donald Trump wants to know his secret.

A Very fun group

Outside Play

Now that the weather is warming and the snow in nearly gone, it's time to think about outdoor play. While it is still a month away for most venues, Malden will be playing outdoors on the last Thursday of April at Amerige Park on the Fellsway.
