Pickleball/Softball Get Together Feb 13,2026
Thank you to all for your participation in the Pickleball/Softball Get-together. It seemed to come off pretty smoothly.
The winning team was from the Farmers Branch Codgers, Randy Trammell and Terry Carlin. The runner-up team was from the Keller Warriors, Kevin Hill and Don Smith. The final match was very close, 15 – 13.
Please let me know what you thought of the tournament. For the facility, I know I hated the lines, they were close to invisible. Also, the two courts closest to the entrance had a huge glare from the glass entry doors.
If we were to do this again at that facility, I would move all the games away from the courts by the entry doors. I would also bring some 2 in. painters tape and mark the kitchen line and the end line. The side lines did not seem to be a big problem.
I hope each of you enjoyed playing against some familiar faces and some new faces. I had fun even though my play penalized my partner Wendel to a great extent. Let me know what you think and if you would do it again say in the next off season like in January.
Good luck in the upcoming softball season.
