Happy 50th birthday pickleball! Just think 50 years ago pickleball was created by families having fun one summer day on Bainbridge Island, WA. To celebrate this milestone Alex Hamner and I made the trek to visit our buddy Barney McCallum – the last surviving founder of pickleball. We spent several days visiting, exploring, playing, laughing and of course – cherishing the pickleball stories of the last 50 years that Barney shared. Priceless!
Barney McCallum, I love that guy! Enjoy this video of us singing Happy Birthday to pickleball – together – on the original court – on a warm summer day – WOW!

Barney looks like a really cool dude. My hope is to be just as sharp when I am his age, knock on wood.
What fun! Thanks for sharing and I love pickleball. Happy birthday pickleball, so glad I found you!
