Local players went to Paducah (Heath Courts) to participate in the Baird Wealth West Kentucky Pickleball Tournament on March 28-30. Over 150 players participated on 10 dedicated Courts. Saturday’s rain prohibited the 3.0 Men’s Doubles and all the Women’s Doubles from being completed. Sunday’s games didn’t start till after 12:00 pm due to rain and drying out of the courts.
