Pickle Ball..what the hell is Pickel Ball? I was first introduced to Pickle Ball when I moved down here a couple years ago. I had a neighbor come up and introduce herself and at the end of the conversation she invited us to the Thursday night Pickle Ball competition at the neighborhood Club House. I must have looked at her like she has three heads. Trying to keep my composure and figuring out what the hell she was talking about, I politely told her we were busy this Thursday maybe next week we would join everyone.
Well, I immediately rushed home and ask my family, does anyone have a clue what “Pickle Ball” is? They didn’t have a clue of course, and shrug it off like I had lost my mind. So I did the next best thing….”Google what is Pickle Ball?”
To my surprise it is an organized game combining badminton, tennis and table tennis. At that point all I could think about is a bunch of drunk people standing around with nothing to do, picking up odd things in the garage and boom, they are rich…Pickle Ball is invented. But no, it’s been around since the 60’s and it was actually named after the dog of the family who invented the game. Seriously? Who knew?
It’s one of the fasted growing games in the United Sates. So next time you think you are on to something, give it a try, you might be the next Elon Musk!
