Good News: Grandma is a Champion! Bad News: At Naked Pickle Ball

How do you envision your retirement?  I can see me and the wife moving into a condo of sorts.  You know, a place where you don't have to worry about shoveling snow or mowing the lawn.

We'd have the grandkids over for holidays and birthdays.  I'd like to do some traveling.

We'd join a country club where I could ride around in the golf cart, have an Old Fashioned at the bar, or strip naked and play sports.

It's true! According to ThePickler.com, "Nude Pickleball is … er, um … busting out all over."

Sounds great, right?  Not exactly a "spectator sport" when you realize "52% of the core players are 55 or older."  But let's not get ahead of ourselves.

What is Pickleball

Believe it or not, despite the name, Pickleball was not invented initially as a nude sport. They play on a court smaller than the one they play tennis on and use wooden paddles to hit this plastic ball with holes in it and hit it over the net.  I guess it's tennis with different equipment?

Nude Pickleball has even more "different equipment".
