BORO PICKLEBALL MEMBER SPOTLIGHT
Meet Tim McChesney!
Get to know Tim, what brought him to Boro, and why the people make this pickleball community so special!
How did you first get started playing pickleball?
My wife, Joyann, and I purchased a “starter pack” at a benefit gala back in 2022. It included a couple of paddles, balls, and an introductory lesson. After that first experience, I knew pickleball would be a great way to stay active, meet people, and keep the competitive juices flowing!
How long have you been part of Boro, and what keeps you coming back?
I joined Boro after moving to Tennessee from Wisconsin about a year ago. Our community courts weren’t ready, and I wanted to get back into it in full force.
The main reason I keep coming back is the incredible people I’ve met, especially my regular group, which includes RK, KP, and JE. Even though our community courts have been ready for some time, I still find myself navigating back to Boro more often than playing at our community courts!
Tell us about your paddle!
I have three paddles, but I mainly use the Selkirk Boomstick and Selkirk LuxxE.
What’s your biggest strength and weakness on the court?
My backhand is my strength, and my forehand is my weakness!
How would you describe pickleball to someone who has never played?
A combination of ping pong, racquetball, tennis, and obsession!
Thanks for being part of the Boro Pickleball community, Tim! We love that the friendships and competition keep bringing you back, even when your neighborhood courts are ready to go. We’re glad you found your way to Boro!
