Though it seems like Americas have just gotten really lazy. So tennis is too much work, so let's play pickleball and you have to run half as much. But it is exercise, and I reluctantly have to admit that it is kind of fun. So it was actually created in Washington State in nineteen sixty five. I'm pretty sure it's a result of alcohol. Three buddies came back from playing golf and their families had been waiting for him and they were really bored.
