The Little Green Book of Tennis


Book Description

Golf is a disease, not a game. Especially when you take the game up in your fifties, as I did. After a series of injuries stopped my recreational tennis play, and my retirement from a lifetime of coaching and teaching tennis, I tried golf. It didn't take long to realize it was not an easy endeavor. Someone said, "You can't learn anything from a golf book, but you have to read a lot of golf books to find that out!" I found the gurus of golf instruction: Ledbetter, Pelz, and Hogan, who was said to have written the book with the secret! I did find one that really attracted me but in a somewhat different way.

I Dink, Therefore I Am


Book Description

Much to his own surprise, longtime newspaper humor writer Frank Cerabino has fallen under the spell of pickleball, the fastest growing sport in America. In this funny compilation of essays on the sport, Cerabino writes a personal story about his journey into becoming a pickleball evangelist. He lays out the charms and allure of this funny-sounding game that looks like ping-pong played on a small tennis court. And he invites the reader to pick up a paddle and discover, as he did, the joys of saying, "Zero, zero, two," every day. This book, Cerabino writes, is not a "how to" book on pickleball, but a "why to" book on the game. It serves as a perfect intro for a pickleball-curious reader and anyone looking to understand why pickleball is surging in its popularity.
