Is it really the boomers?? I think only the youngest boomers would even be interested. I'd bet most of the pickleballers are gen-X.
I guess I don't understand the problem here. How is pickleball any more noisy than a busy tennis court? Ever hear Monica Selles(sp?) or John McEnroe serve the ball? (and there have been many McEnroe wanna-bes in the amateur sector!)

We have several pickleball courts in our neighborhood. The blue-hairs have taken over and do get rowdy some days. LOL!
And I agree on tennis, especially women players. Do they really have to grunt with every hit? Being a teenager back in the Monica Seles prime days, it was hard to watch a match she was playing (pun intended).

When you refer to "blue-hairs", it's hard to know which generation you're talking about!!
Touché

Pickleball has overtaken shuffleboard and bocce at nudist resorts across the country.

That’s some frightening mental imagery right there!

I would have thought that would be cornhole.

After reading the link and the comments that link had, I got a feeling someone with city influence lives on that cul-de-sac.
