What happens when you mix acoustic paneling, custom lighting, and crab cakes? You get The PutAway — a pickleball facility built by players, for players, right in the heart of Maryland.
In this episode, we serve it up with Tim, the founder behind this sleek suburban sanctuary. From court-side carpet to BYOB Fridays, The PutAway isn’t just functional — it’s thoughtfully designed to make rec players feel like royalty. And let’s just say, it beats slapping dinks on a converted basketball court.
We talk unforced errors (in life and in pickleball), why cardboard boxes should come with expiration dates, and the rising trend of prison pickleball. We also spotlight the Pickle Breakers — a group who played 36 straight hours of pickleball for a world record and a great cause. Diapers may or may not have been involved.
Whether you’re a mid-level player trying to climb, a first-timer looking for community, or just in it for the cold brew from The Big Bean down the road, this episode is your official invite to check out The PutAway. And remember: if you're standing up straight, you're already losing. Bend your knees, and for the love of pickleball, put the knife in the sink.
