Thanks to all 23 Playmakers for playing the fun and easy Table Tennis Skills Challenge! Each participant demonstrated their skills in knocking over 15 cups using 10 serves and 10 returns (maximum score 30).
Honorable Mentions to:
• Dr. Steve who only hit two Solo cups with his 10 serves but scored the highest knockdown with 14 out of 15 in the return skill!
• Ping who went “all in,” smashing every shot on the returns. Not certain if he was trying to hurt Marty (the referee) or simply trying to knock the cups into the pickleball courts! In either case, it was an exhilarating display of a forehand smash!
On Friday, the last day of the challenge, the Playmakers came hard and fast, with high scores of 20 by Don Pooley, 21 by Peter Von Smash, and 23 by the champion, Gary Wolf!
