Hard-fought matches under perfect skies resulted in medals for some of the 30 Whitsunday picklers who competed in the Qld Pickleball Tour series of events in Townsville last weekend.
This relatively new sport in Australia, which is a combination of tennis, badminton and table tennis, has grown so quickly in the past few years.
It now has 4,000 registered players in Queensland alone and many more social players.
Bowen, Cannonvale and Mackay all contributed strong teams that didn’t exist a few years ago.
Kudos go out to the PAQ for developing the QPT series of competitive events played in the regional Qld towns of Townsville, Yeppoon, Hervey Bay and Redcliffe.
With over 100 competitors it was a great way of catching up with picklers from around the state and challenging one’s pickleball skills.
