Destination Pickleball

New Zealand Anyone?
It’s a magical land and the “Kiwis” have discovered pickleball. Julie and I recently returned from a three-week tour of the South Island of New Zealand.  Quite by coincidence I have been contacted by Chris Kinman who is offering pickleball and sightseeing tours to NZ, and specifically in the region of Rotorua, on the North Island, the mecca of NZ pickleball.  This is an inquiry to see if you might be interested in a once-in-a-lifetime trip to combine your passion for pickleball with travel to this beautiful country.  Click HERE for more information!  Growing Your Pickleball Game.
