I doubt it...

I was, for my age, ranked 9th in Texas at one point, but that was decades ago.. I put down the racquet for a guitar - mostly because the new coach at the high school I went to, did not like me whatsoever.. Funny, because he was the brother of the soundman for Pantera - a friend of mine name Aaron Barnes.. In college I took tennis just for the credit and the college coach BEGGED me to try out for the team, but I was a full blown guitarist by then.. After that, I put the racquet down until about 3 years ago..

3 years ago, we were allowed to do 45 minutes PT at work.. The base here has tennis courts and one of them has a backboard.. I grew up hitting on a backboard for hours, so I started hitting on a backboard 3 years ago every day.. I got my strokes back really well.. The backboard was old, and wooden, and it was always a total RUSH to smack a ball and hear the wood split.. LOVED it..

So, government shut down Oct 1 and I had a month of leave that was use or lose that I used in December, so I haven't hit on the backboard since Oct 1.. I REALLY want to do some adult tournaments, but I don't think they offer them here anymore.. Everyone is into "pickleball" which looks, to me, like out-of-shape people's tennis.. I'd rather play badminton that pickleball.. I took badminton in college, as well, and it was the most fun I've probably ever had..
