![]() ![]() Section 5: OPA Board Subject: Pecuniary Pickleballers Protest Msg# 1200022

I think we agree that the early picklers were men and women with a mission. It seemed to be the beginning of a national trend. I'm afraid the movement morphed from the motivated to the entitled. I'm not just singling out the players here. There are controversies all over the country with pickle ball court locations/noise/players' expectations.
Tennis on the other hand is a well established sport and has few missionaries. Its popularity is slowly waning as the country's population is slowly aging. (First person experience!). BUT their sense of entitlement is still strong. That's why I suspect that a one sport/plays all sport membership will spill a number of newbies onto the tennis courts that may cause a new controversy. Tennis players have been quiet during this controversy. Some may argue that they have nothing to gripe about and may be looking at a reduction is some rates. That could change. All of these factors should have been fully considered by the Racquet Committee AND the Board before this major change was approved. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Yes there was I recall, then we hired a Pickle Ball Company to come and build others as I recall. I can say one thing for SURE, The Pickle Ball guys and gals I dealt with were not whiners! They were doers! I cannot remember a bad experience at the Pickle Ball courts. I will tell you Tennis is MUCH harder to take care of or it WAS in good old days. LOL |
