Pickleball Tribulations - Hacked Off in the extreme : July 20 2026
End of the school holidays - back to the pickleball routine been working on. Catch train and Metro down to Crows Nest and North Sydney Indoor Centre. Played 5 times here - lasted one game this time
Played the first game - did not take long - my partner was yelling Out all the time. Crapped on me for hitting a ball I thought was going in. Sentence after that really pissed me off. 3rd person in the club telling me what to do. I may be new to pickleball but I have been playing racket sports for 60 years. Was coached in tennis by a Springbok ladies coach. Was coached in squash by a Springbok men's coach. Good chance I know what to do
The photo captured my mood - pissed off - thanks for the meme https://pin.it/vXbpePnHf
I headed home after one game. Will not go back. The club is not doing enough to rein in bullies. The whole philosophy of pickleball is to be embracing to all players. It is built into the simple rules about starting a game
I was hopping mad. Not helped by a seriously bad markets week last week - down 4% in a week the market dropped only 1%. At 70 years old I do not need to be told how to play by a jumped up dick 20 years younger.
Somehow managed to get 10k steps - walk to and from station, one game and walk to shops. No photos
Did find this article on the BBC - not only are there Lone Star ticks causing red meat allergy in Texas. Got our own version in Australia - different tick
Did get one photo for the day - cheat fish and chips - chips in airfryer and fish from the freezer
