PICKLEBALL INSTEAD OF GOLF !!

From L to R - Jinty, Morag, Anita, Morag, Jennifer, Gillian, Marion, Sandra and Julie
Some of the RLCGA members have taken up the "extreme" sport of "pickleball"
They play on a Tuesday and Thursday at the Paisley Lagoon Centre.
It takes place on a badminton court with a 3ft net and you use a paddle instead of a racket and a plastic ball.
It gets very competitive but is played in good spirits and is great fun.
I say "extreme" sport as we have at least one injury per session!!!
It was Jinty's turn today to pull a muscle in her calf sprinting for the ball.
It will keep us fit and busy over the winter.

Thanks go to Past Captain Gillian McGinlay for the photograph and the news.
