Pickleball players in PebbleCreek celebrated St. Patrick’s Day on the courts. Players wore emerald green shirts, hats, socks, fun necklaces, earrings, bowties, and shoelaces. Heard on the courts:

* We’re always looking for a holiday to celebrate on the pickleball courts.

* Everyone is Irish on St. Patrick’ Day.

* Some players blended into the green fences when they were serving.

* We are looking forward to bringing back our social events and parties to the pickleball courts.

* Even though we have some restrictions, we are absolutely loving that we can be outdoors and active.

* It was a great day for everyone, playing in the sunshine and warm weather.

* Someone sang Danny Boy every time he scored a point.

* After pickleball, we’re going to happy hour. Bailey’s Irish Cream for all!
