Aside from every court being taken, the first thing apparent to me was that pickle atmosphere...camping chairs, portable speakers blasting, laughter and trash talk intermingled with the sharp smacking sounds. Pretty evenly split between men and women, age ranges from 20's to 70's. The tennis courts nearby...had two people on it and was dead silent, tumbleweeds and all. That part made me sad that I had become part of the problem. So I used my Hugh Clarke approved forehand to spin another whiffle ball into the corner for a winner to make myself feel better.
