Pickleball Tournament A Hit At Spring Lake Heritage Festival, Honors Area Ambassadors (Jun 19, 2013 Spring Lake, MI, www.mlive.com)
The first DeHoog Open Pickleball Tournament was a family affair on Sunday, June 16, as it was named for a husband and wife, first place winners were a brother and sister, and the runner-up team was a father and son.
Looks Like A Perfect Day For... Pickleball? (Jun 17, 2013 Scottsdale, AZ, hub.aa.com)
"I am proof that the game is easy to learn and play...This time, it’s clearly my shot. Without much thought, I swing at the ball high in its arc and drive it down the line. It zips past pickleball enthusiast Ruth Rosenquist, one of the few times I’m able to get one past her.
That’s when it happens — just like Rosenquist, Wong and others promised it would: I get hooked on the game."
