    Pickeball growth causes racket among SWFL tennis players

    Tennis has been part of Carl Back’s life since he was a child, starting in elementary school. He remembers visiting his parents on Marco Island in the ’80s and playing recreationally there, along with where he used to live in Connecticut and Massachusetts. Back moved to Marco Island six years ago but has been a member of its club for a decade. Now, he and other tennis players may have to find another home court.
