"An avid golfer for 40 years, I started pickleball casually about a year ago thinking that it would give me something to do in the evenings (we have lighted courts). It quickly became an obsession. Coach Kevin taught me the basics, then the not-so-basics, then finally the strategies and IQ of the game. I am in love. I would rank pickleball now at the same level of passion as golf for me!
