We’re now in St George UT, for the Huntsman World Senior Games. When I picked up my registration packet yesterday I was informed that there were 10,400 “senior athletes” age 50+ participating in this years “games”… and 500 were here for Pickleball and there even was another Nancy Harvey (but I don't know for which sport). So my partner Dee (for Women’s Age Group and Women’s Skill Level) are busy practicing at least 3 hours per day. I’m also playing Mixed Doubles with Hank Winawer - a resident of Sun River, a Del Webb community here in St. George. He and his Men’s Doubles partner are meeting up with Dee and myself at 8:00 each day to practice. Of course a whole lot of other people are doing the same thing on the 20 pickleball courts. I’ve added a few photos of our 4-day fun, frolic and oh yes, practice before the games begin on Monday Oct 13th.
