It was super windy when Josh and I hit the pickleball court this afternoon, but it was also sunny and 60 degrees, so we figured we'd give it a go. Josh won the first game, even though he'd never played before, but he had the wind and 33 years at his back, so we switched sides and played again.
"The wind really does make a difference!" he said in surprise after I easily won the first 4 points, and I felt a little better after skulking him to tie up the match.
"Let's try the other court," I suggested. "The person with the wind will also have the short baseline area to contend with. Maybe it will be more even?"
I lost that game by 4, and it would have been the match if we had not agreed to one more switch. The fourth and final showdown of the day was a little closer than the others, but the old lady pulled it out, and we agreed to end the competition in a draw.
Until tomorrow!
I'm glad more reliable pickleball weather is almost upon us!
