Pickleball Career Highlights | My Pickleball highlight so far is winning the 2021 Tournament of Champions Senior Pro Mixed in Brigham City , UT . Dayne Gingrich and I met that morning and went through the draw without losing a game. We also found out we had the same birthday! I was also able to finish 3rd in womens doubles with Natalie Bagby which earned me the title of top womens performer and money winner. |
