Pickleball Players Club
Due to the rain, the Pickleball Club tournament in March was divided into two sections and suffered a rainout but was completed on March 25.
The advanced players in the 3.5 and 4.0 skill levels played on March 4. In the 4.0 group first place winner was JB Burnett; second place Chinh Ngo; and third place Bob Magie.
In the 3.5 group first place winner was Jesus Sosa; second place Sue Burkschab; and third place was a tie between Andy Probert and Sandy Mitchell.
The 3.0 skill level players played on March 25. The first place winner was John Burns; second place was a tie between Connie Terry and Mike Hayes; and third place Vitaly Telishevsky.
Also last month, club members Sam Chua and Mark Riddle entered the Asia Pickleball Open in Phuket, Thailand, among players from 19 other countries. They played in the Intermediate 60 plus division, and beat all six teams playing against them in the round robin and won the final 11-2, 10-11, 11-6. Club President Linda Evenson congratulated the team.
The Pickleball Players Club offers free beginner lessons on the second Tuesday of each month. The next lesson is on April 11, at 10:30 a.m. on the pickleball courts at Mission Park behind Clubhouse 2. The club will loan paddles and balls for the lesson that will be given by Jim Thomason.
