You’d think at a championship caliber club, like our own, that there’d be activity 365 days a year. Apparently, make that 335 days since there wasn’t a lick of paddle being played by any A’s or B’s, to the best of my knowledge. Unless, of course, someone wants to add some commentary to this post proving otherwise. Perhaps a recounting of some great summertime paddle or poker play, something heard around the fire pit on a cool June night, or just something made up to make our blog archives feel complete?
Now’s your chance for your 15 minutes of fame.
Drake, Deam and I play most Sundays all summer. We work in different guys for our 4rth.
I recently introduced two new guys to paddle. Each guy, (Cairo & Jose) have more tennis skill than any current member. They are catching on fast this summer. Watch out for them this fall.
There are many of us who are ranked between 10 and 25 that might enjoy being your 4th. Alas… we don’t catch on as quickly.
The Sunday crew may be the Dream team of paddle, but be ready this Fall for Back 40 champ Chad Bolliger. Everyone remembers Rocky running through a Philly winter at 4 AM in a hoody. Our own CB (aka Rocky Paddleboa) is at the courts, every day, working out in a hoody and gloves, 90 degrees or otherwise, gearing up for a championship match. His mantra is “we need a fourth”. If anyone wants to be on his text list, he will get you into a match this summer
Although Chad’s enthusiasm for paddle is laudable, Chad’s game is kind of like Jim Carrey doing a Rocky impression, with Finnish subtitles.
