A Rare Pickleball Outing

This is rare for me to say but today was not a good pickleball day. It wasn’t fun and for whatever reason most of the games I played I was lucky if my team scored 3 points. Three points is like my biggest enemy. I can’t stand it.

I was jabber jawing when we first started so I didn’t get to play the first game. Then when I did get a game it seemed like the guy I played with did not want to play with me, not saying a word and not trying like he normally does. I’m either not good enough to play with him, he had something going on outside of pickleball, or I did something to upset him. It was pretty much downhill after that game.

I got hit in the face and there was a new guy there who was playing tennis. He was really nice and had some wild shots. I got beat in the middle a lot today but I had a couple of shots that surprised me how well they turned out. I was able to work on my serve and got a couple of 2-hand backhand attempts.

One of our guys left abruptly, leaving us with 8. I had to leave on time and felt bad that I left 3 people without the last game.

My Tuesday group has already rescheduled but I took some court time to practice. Tomorrow should be a better day.
