Ree Drummond Takes on Pickleball: Ree Drummond, known as the Pioneer Woman, played pickleball for the first time with her daughter Alex Drummond Scott and son-in-law Mauricio Scott on March 18. The match took place at sunset and was filled with family fun, including their dogs and three-month-old granddaughter Sofia watching from the sidelines.
A Fun-Filled First Pickleball Experience
Drummond shared a video of the game on Instagram, showing herself and Alex playing against Mauricio. As they ran across the court, they also had to dodge their dogs, which added an extra challenge. “It’s like goat yoga but it’s dog pickleball!” she joked as the dogs roamed the court.
Ree Reflects on the Match
In her Instagram caption, Drummond wrote about her first experience playing pickleball.
“This edit is misleading. Mauricio creamed us in the first game, then we were able to eke out small victory in a 3-point game at the end.” – (Drummond)
“Also, I chose to include all my decent shots and all the times Alex and Mauricio told me I was good. (I wonder what Mauricio’s edit would look like? )” – (Drummond)
She ended the post with an invitation: “Who wants to come play with me? It’s not Ladd’s cup of tea.” Alex responded, encouraging their father to join, writing, “ next step: get Laddy out on the court!”
