New Year, New Sport

In 2022, we’re tossing aside fad diets and quick fixes, but it’s still a great idea to resolve to be healthy and active.

For many, that could just mean more time spent getting outside and playing a little pickleball.

As pickleball has exploded as a low-impact competitive sport, the Landings has embraced the hype. Pickleball has a huge following on Skidaway Island, apparent by the ever-growing league through the Landings Golf & Athletic Club.

Recently, Franklin Creek Sports Complex hosted the first ever Pickle-Palooza — and it’s sure to become an annual Landings event.

Pickle-Palooza was three hours of fun, games, and dink. Festivities included a dink tournament, an open-play Paddletek demo day, and pickleball-style beer pong. There was a great mix of newbies trying out the game and more experienced players competing and handing out tips.
