elcome to the US Open issue of Pickleball Magazine!
We always look forward to spending time in the fun,
energetic atmosphere in East Naples Community
Park during the weeklong party—the Minto US
Open Pickleball Championships. Don’t get me
wrong, there’s some serious pickleball happening at this tournament—the
best players in the world compete and the matches can be intense, but
everybody wants to keep it fun. And that’s pretty easy to accomplish with all
the colorful, friendly personalities in pickleball.
Our coverage of the US Open begins with tournament highlights on page 30,
followed by Alice Tym's feature “What Makes the US Open so Special?” on
page 38. When you read it, you’ll want to make plans to attend next year. So
save the date—it’s April 18-25, 2020!
My wife Lisa and I enjoyed time with friends and some great competition
on the courts. There are so many good places to eat in Naples and the
sunshine and beautiful beaches never get old. The week flew by!
Looking ahead, we’ll be highlighting first responders in the next issue, so
be sure to reach out to us about any first responder pickleballers you think
we should highlight. We want them to know how much they’re appreciated.
Until next time…
