Betrayal?
As many of you know, Connie is the Chair of the Victoria Regional Pickleball Association. In that role, I kind of consider her to be an ambassador for pickleball wherever she goes.
However, yesterday, we were shown around parts of Johannesburg we would not normally see as a regular tourist. Part of that tour included a visit to The Wanderer’s Club. Now, one would think this is a club for those who travel far and wide where the members gather for wild travelling stories to the wilder places of the world. But, no….it’s a sports club.
The place covers acres and acres and has fields for lawn bowling, cricket, tennis, soccer and rugby. But, wait, hold on what is Connie doing?
Yes, to all those picklball players that know Connie from the Victoria picklball courts should know she is courting (excuse the pun here) padel ball with the idea it may be more popular than pickleball.
Stay tuned as we have challenged well-known padel ball players, Stephen and Liesel Brachmayer, to a padel ball competition on November 18th.
If you are a paddleball player from Victoria, don’t spread this information around.
Sage on sail 
Oh look…and you don’t need court shoes for this sport…. Must fine me some MaryJanes if I am to try this !
Shocking!!!! 🤣
Love your blog. Not being a pickleball player I had to google the difference between these 2 sports. Connie is delving into very controversial waters. Controversy aside, keep up the adventure seeking on your trip.
