> Ortho surgeons love pickleball. <

I actually considered joining a senior league near me. Then I had a talk with one of the workers. He mentioned all the injuries he witnessed. I think I’ll stick with bocce.

Folks who live near pickleball courts complain about the noise produced when the paddle makes contact with the ball.

We had a Bacci Club in our neighborhood. On occasion bacci was part of the day. Most the function was to have a great slow paced drinking and cooking club among men of Italian heritage. The club was always supporting charity groups. The rule was "No Recognition" in the support. The club enjoyed its obscurity.

There was always a few thousand gallons of wine in various stages of production in the basement. Sausages and cheeses hung from the ceilings.

Because “bocce players are never people of violence” said Santos Trafficante, once an elderly man of peace from Tampa Florida.
