Yesterday we had 4 wonderful visitors from Christchurch join us at Wakatipu High School for some pickleball fun! They stopped by Queenstown on their way to the Gore tournament this weekend. It was such a joy to meet you and play together!

Big thanks to Holly, Moe, Sam, and Erik, you made the court full of laughter, good vibes, and friendship.

After the indoor games, we stepped outside… and wow! The snowy Crown Range was right there as our backdrop. Almost made us forget how tired we were from all those smashes and dinks.

To everyone heading to the Gore tournament: good luck! Play hard, have fun, and treasure every moment with your fellow players. If you want to follow the Gore tournament progress and results, you can check them out, https://pickleballtournaments.com/.../7cfd96d7-f3d5-4fae...

Can’t wait for more games, more laughs, and more new friends on the court!
