My Rotary club held our first pickleball fundraising tournament a couple of weeks ago at Terradyne Country Club and it was a huge success. We had a goal of 64 players (32 teams) and we actually had 70 players sign up. <\/p>\n

We had eight courts for the tournament so we had two brackets going in the morning and also two brackets in the afternoon. In the morning, we had a competitive bracket and also an all women’s bracket. <\/p>\n

I loved how some of the ladies wore matching outfits like Michelle Pease and Lesli Toubassi (aka Tou Pease in a Pod).<\/p>\n

Karen Fox and Jody Vinson (aka Drop It Like It’s Hot) won the women’s bracket.<\/p>\n

As you can tell, we love our Electrum paddles. <\/p>\n

After a long championship battle against Kim Knotts and Chris Heck (aka FSU) that ran all the way past lunch, Lori and Dave Belew (aka Notorious D.I.N.K.) won the competitive bracket in the morning.<\/p>\n

My friend Erica and I won our bracket in the afternoon, which felt a little silly to me. I think I won’t play in the future. Mostly I signed up because I wasn’t sure if we could get enough players. <\/p>\n

Erica and I wore our matching BIA shoes for Steve. LOL. <\/p>\n

Mike Ellison and Adam Korfhage (aka Mike and Adam) won the all men’s doubles bracket in the afternoon. <\/p>\n

I am so grateful to everyone who played, volunteered, and came out to support our event. I’m look forward to making this an annual fundraising event for our club. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
