Spike Razem
For the past three years whether it be summer heat or winter cold, the same group gets to the North courts early (i.e., 5:50 a.m.) to start the day whacking that yellow plastic ball.
The PC Pickleball AM Group includes 48 people and is organized using the Spond App by Bob Funkhouser, Mark Hohnbaum, and Randy Hurwitz. Normally eight to 16 players occupy two to four courts, seven days per week. After seven games, the group departs at approximately 7:45 a.m. having enjoyed a good workout and socializing with good friends.
Thanks much to Bob, Mark, and Randy for a job well done in assembling an excellent group of early morning pickleballers!
