PICKELBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS THIS WEEKEND IN GLASGOW

I know this has nothing to do with golf but --- WHY NOT GO ALONG TO THE PICKELBALL OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP WEEKEND 

Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in the world.  It is a central net, rebound game played with a ball and paddle (like a hard racket) and was invented in the USA over 50 years ago by a family who named it after their dog Pickles!

​

Pickleball is played on a court very similar to badminton and uses elements of racket skills from tennis, squash, badminton and table tennis.  However this game is unique - for one reason, no other sport has a 'kitchen' in the middle of the court!  The rules and scoring system also mean that pickleball is much more accessible by the young and not-so-young, making this a fantastic family activity for everyone to enjoy.​

Now in Scotland we have many golfers who have taken up this sport and this holiday week end and yo fancy seeing the game and perhaps many of your fellow golfers why not go along to the National Badminton Academy in Glasgow which has free parking, 10 fantastic courts and competition-standard lighting. 
 There is a cafe next door at Scotstoun Leisure Centre, and the campus is also home to Glasgow Warriors professional rugby club
