Friday Fun-Pickleball at PebbleCreek!

PebbleCreek is hosting a tournament this week and today's event will feature men's doubles. It has been really fun watching friends compete in women's doubles and mixed doubles, but today my partner, Erik and I get to play at high noon at the O.K. Corral. Well, it will not be that intense, but we do have our first match at noon. We have been hard at work getting ready and it will be tough. I am moving up to the 3.5 division. Win, loose or draw, it will be a blast. The PebbleCreek tournament committee has done a great job putting this tournament together. We are just hoping the wind will not kick up too much for today's events. Wish us luck! 😎

Haha, I have been to the tournaments Dorie Dillard Austin TX and the only fun part about it for me was watching Ray Henson play! I didn't feel like it would be fun to play myself though.

Hi Ray this sounds like a lot of fun! High Noon at the OK Coral - cue the music! I sure hope the wind dies down before you start. It's really windy in our end of town.

Brian England think how much fun you could be having, you could insist they hang the union jack as well in this international competition. Good luck Ray Henson hope it went well.

I would have more fun after play has commenced and the indulging in adult libations and food commences, haha.

It was quite a shoot out, Lawrence "Larry" & Sheila Agranoff. Cell: 631-805-4400. Actually, it was several! 😃 Thank you, it was a very good day.

I could have used some of Brian England's coaching, Dorie Dillard Austin TX. Since he is such a great tennis player, many of the strategies cross over to tennis. He has a way of calming my nerves out there too. He is a good guy for showing his support and thank you very much for your support too, Dorie!

Thank you, Will Hamm. We did make it to the finals. It was a tough one and we had to play four games, but we finally were able to win. The competition was really good.

It was really windy here, Anna Banana Kruchten Phoenix Broker. It made for some very interesting play, but it was still very fun. It would be fun if they had some introduction music. I would probably pick Metallica's, Enter Sandman! Thank you for your support!

Thank you! It was a very fun day, Michael Jacobs. My good friend (since about 8th grade) and his wife flew out from Idaho to join me on the courts. It is a very good time whenever you are lucky to spend a few days with good friends. Pickleball just made it all even better!

A Union Jack would look very nice with the two other flags, Nick Vandekar, 610-203-4543. I think we would have to get Brian England to move to PebbleCreek for that to happen, though. I can't even get him on the court to play pickleball. I doubt I could get him to move here. 😉 #NoPebbleCreekForBrian

BTW-I have been viewing some of your videos. They look great!

You are correct Ray Henson I am an East Valley guy so I doubt that Pebble Creek is ever in my future but it is an amazing community to live within!

The good thing is that Val Vista is a lot closer to PebbleCreek than Elk Grove. We should be able to visit much more often now!

Sheri Sperry - MCNE®, it is looking more and more like, #NoPickleballForBrian is going to be the most accurate hashtag. Brian England is a good fan and knows that any time he shows up that the adult libations are on me! One of the guys we played lived in Sedona, so now I have a second reason to visit your area.

Good morning, Kathy Streib. It is looking more and more that the only court that I will get to see Brian play on is a tennis court. We need to get him to sign up for some tennis tournaments. I would love to video tape his best shots and put the videos on ActiveRain. Have you seen his serve? Wow!

That is quite an incentive to go and watch you play Ray Henson and I am sure that it has piqued the interest of my drinking buddy, Wayne Martin, and might motivate him to come out for a visit sooner, rather than later, haha.

The more, the merrier, Brian England! 😃
