Deane Chickering is on top of the pickleball player. Since 2013, the ninety-year-old Village of Bonnybrook resident has wanted to play on every pickleball court in The Villages.
Thursday he completed his mission again by playing at the 6 new courts at Saluki Recreation.
“I’ve played on 296 pickleball courts,” Chickering said. “I started this quest because I saw people swimming at every pool and playing golf at every course. I said to myself, I’m going to try and play on every pickleball court.”
Chickering has been the most enthusiastic pickleball player in The Villages for 21 years.
