Grant Osborne and I today Played Toby Ellison and Malcolm Furguson on the Indoor. Very ot Day outside and indoors alike. Grant Played Brilliant and I went pretty well too and we had a Great in 35-8. Won the Money…
Its Been a long time coming but I am sure that Grant will be Happy to be playing on a Good Green today at Paradise Point. The Top Green has come back Great and was a little slow 2 weeks ago when I played on it but very true and will be terrific in a few weeks. Unfortunately Grant was on the Top Green at Southport Yesterday and it left a lot to be desired and only 1 hand playable on Rink 21. Why they don't play North/South I never know. It seems to run better than East/West

Joe Cacace and I will practice again as we are in the Club PAIRS hoping to defend our title but there are some Good Teams this year so we will have to bowl really well. 20 so far and doesn't close until the 11th February so might get a few more.
We played Charlie Laws and Noel Ridgewell and had a good game on the Good #1 Green Joe was on fire for first half of the game and we were up 18-3 at one stage but they came back at us when we dropped our guard but we won 23-17 in a good fun game. NO LUCK as I got a few wicks but all in all Joe outplayed Noel today. Charlie outdrew me but I out wicked him… Nice and Hot again to Bowl. Top Green Reports by some Bowlers that it was not in good condition and very difficult to play on. It Obviously Needs Work and Would be good if they could play North/South instead of East/West as it runs better that way until it is renovated. Latif won the Broadbeach Club Fours Sunday and a Great Effort with his team, beating the Big Guns along the way….
See how we go today…. We play against Michael Hoey and Noel Parmenter and had a very good game. We held shots for the 1st 9 ends but either Mike or Noel cut us back and was pretty even at 10-7 after 11 ends. We managed to get a roll and a few shots and leading 23-9 on last end, Latif trailed for a 6 to give us a 29-9 win and 3rd place on a count back. Greens ran well although still a little slow….. Originally was going for a Game to Cabarita Beach Open PAIRS this afternoon but could not be bothered and just as well as Washing Machine Repair Man coming to fix machine AGAIN after same fault happened so its a Freebie This time but have to wait in all Morning.
Daily Dairy - Premier 7's Div 1 Rd 3 V Burleigh Heads @ Burleigh Heads - Saturday 28th January 20181/28/2017 Alan Elliott and i played PAIRS and played against Steve MvGavason and Mick Myer and had a good 20-13 Win on slowish but good Green. Caine Burns Won 31-14 in the Singles and the Fours who were 16-16 after 13 ends went down 18-32.
Team Effort and another WIN for Southport 3 Wins from 3 Carry On Bowling
Starring Grant Osborne and Bernie Lamberton V Kenneth Connor and Bill Rae Grant Osborne and I played Indoor today against Ken Conner and Bill Rae. A Comedy of a Game really. Grant and I were 8-0 up after 2 ends and then we only scored 1 more shot in the next 9 ends and were down 9-19. I thought I had better try and get a few close and did and we then came home strongly with 21 of the next 22 points in the last few ends to win 30-20. Played Rink 4 Indoors which is always a bit touchy. Good Fun Game anyway and Malcolm Furguson had a "Ralphie". "Ralphie" The New Birthday Superstar was Bowling next to us with his Bowling arm and I heard Mark Vogler stating that a good Photo could be on the way in the future with the Bowling Stick protruding from his Bum Not Down to Bowl today…. Some Sad News I got Yesterday... R.I.P Bob Barry.
A Solid Member of Broadbeach Bowls Club for Many years and My Coach when I Started and a Good Friend passed away on Thursday 19th January 2017. Bob was a Top Melbourne Division 1 Skip fro many years and was Coach at Broabdeach up until 2015 when he retired. He still bowled from time to time at Broadbeach and Southport but recently had a few ailments which kept him from bowling. I stole some of Bobs sayings like "No Luck" That was Bobs... One of the Funniest incidents on the Bowling Green when he was bowling next to me a year or so ago against a lady in her 50's when he said to her "Don't you go kicking Bowls, you are far to old to Kick Bowls" He was 87 years old and she was in her 50's Great Guy and Very Sad to see him pass. Latif and I Played against the State Champion Pair of Annie McClure and Christina Pavlov again and had a ripper of a game again.
We were up 14-0 after 6 ends on a slowish but good running green. As expected they came back at us hard and almost stole the show but for Latifs 4 or 5 great conversions towards the end of the game. The Girls played Good Bowls especially Chris with some of her last bowls.. Always a Great game against them and a lucky start for us helped us over the line otherwise we were gone for all money.. |
