05/29/24 • 20 min

Welcome to another episode of the Sweet Lobs podcast, your go-to source for "married" pickleball topics and beyond! Today, we're excited to bring you the first installment of our two-part series on "Running a Tournament." Whether you're an aspiring tournament director or just curious about the behind-the-scenes action, this episode is packed with insights, tips, and real-life experiences that will help you understand the intricacies of organizing a successful pickleball tournament.

A quick heads-up: We recorded this episode away from our usual studio, so the audio quality isn't quite up to our usual standard. Also, Kevin was super tired and you can hear it in his lazy voice... :D

So grab your notepads (you wanna take notes, right!! LOL), get comfortable, and join us as we dive into the world of tournament planning and execution. Get AHEAD OF THE GAME!!

Sweet Lobs - We've Been to Hell ... and Back!
play

04/24/24 • 32 min

In our debut episode, we share our story of how we stumbled upon pickleball in an unexpected setting—the sunlit deck of a gorgeous Princess cruise ship, how we avoided a second trip to Hell (Hell, Grand Cayman)... and how this quirky twist of fate ignited our passion for the fun sport with a funny name: Pickleball.
We'll start with Kevin's initial "mastery" of the game, our quest to find local playing spots, and our ongoing efforts to expand pickleball's local reach. Join us for laughs, learning curves, and the beginning of our love affair with pickleball, all while exploring the importance of community.
