Not Bowling today but will be at Southport from 12 til 1pm if anyone wants me regarding bowls of stuff...
George Horley and I played here today and it was very gusty winds… Greens not as quick after overnight shower but ok.
1st game against Roy and Ron (Helensvale). Started Poorly although should I say, They started well with Good bowls in the head and we were down 0-9 after 3 ends. Came back with 2 x 4's and were down 8-11. Though we could win it from there but they bowled some great bowls and eventually I needed a 5 on last end to draw and chased and went down overall 9-17. Good Game Though. 2nd game against Theo and Richard and had a good 21-6 win. Won Winners of the Losers. George played good in the wind too but it was a struggled with the big gusts... Thats it for 2 weeks from me. Holidays in hawaii. Should be fun and will get a bowl there with any luck. John McLean and I again while Bob is still away and back again Next Week..
*************************************************************************************************************** John and I had a Frustrating Game against Jim Anderson and Ern Smith. Holding shots most ends and Ern driving almost all the time. We managed a win 21-18 but had to time our run right to get the result. Played well and so did John. Good game Indoors... Daily Diary - Mermaid Beach All Day Any Combination 3 Bowls PAIRS - Wednesday 25th May 20165/26/2016 Peter Thompson and I play again after a long time.. Will be some good teams here today and good practice for the Australian Open..
***************************************************************************************************************** Was a Brilliant Day for Bowls although the Greens were a bit bare in places and tricky early until they got some speed. Peter had SPS Syndrome today and Changed his name to Gladstone Small Revisited… He was in pain all day and effected his bowls but he soldiered on and we had 4 Good Games. 4 game 3 Bowl Pairs 15 ends…. 1st game against Jonanne Cunningham and Bruce (Jaffa) Tatmill (N.Z). Normally we would have probably beaten them but they played some good bowls a we never settled on the slower track.. Lost 8-15 in the 15 ends 2nd game against Mal Alagich and John Rafton, Peter played some good Bowls and I played well to beat these two 19-14. Was a good game… 3rd Game against David Dodge and Paul Watson. Played pretty well again for a 11-8 win although Paul was a little unlucky not to win it with his last bowl when he attempted to take out my shot bowls and we hung on for a well deserved win. Beating them kept them out of the money with their only loss. 4th Game against the Unbeaten team of Peter Elder and Jeff Watkins. we started well but a drive by Jeff to get a 5 swung the game from 4-3 to 4-8 and they never looked back. We went down 7-17 although played some good Bowls, They won 6 ends in a row to pull away. Good days Bowls and if Peter had been 100% sure we would have challenged Latif (Who won again, This time with Roger Goodridge) and Jeff and Peter… Next time… Great Days Bowls and Once again disappointed as only 20 teams and not much support from Mermaid Members at all. Skipped Bowls today for an All You Can Eat Seminar at the Pines.. It was actually a Stock and Shares day and was very informative and a great days food…
Charlie Laws and I playing our First 1 Dayer together…
*************************************************************************************************************** Not a really Good Day for the results. Was very hard to adapt for some reason with the greens and although they ran well, we played fairly ordinary but could have won all 3 games. 1st game against Brian Moore and Ian Crabb we played fairly well and had it won but for Ians Great Drawing towards the end and Brian on his short ends. Lost on last end 9-15. 2nd game against Darryl White and Peter Selby we went down 14-20.. 3rd game against Jon Bosisto and Leigh. Had it won after being down 5-12 and back leading at 13-12 until their last bowl when a wick from a wayward drive found the jack and back for 4 down and 11-16 down. Fun day but easily forgotten. Only numbers on a scoreboard.. My Birthday Today. No Bowls, Just a nice quiet day...
I am having today off as have people to see re car selling and Bowls selling and shopping for our holiday next weekend. Will be nice to have 2 days off as Big Weeks Bowls next week.
Matt Cowan and I had a Great Days Bowls
1st Game started off a little rough as could not get pace of damp green and went down a few early to Ray Williams (Kawana) and Peter Johnson. Down 3-13 and then we fought back playing Brilliant Bowls. Matt struggled with line and length but gave me a few when needed. We ended up shocking them with a 27-19 win... 2nd game against John Fern and Gary John. Greens were lovely speed now and we dropped 2 x 4's in 1st 3 ends and once again came back strongly but just not enough and fell short by 6 (11-17 in the end). John Fern was deadly as Lead and Gary played some Great Conversions to win the game.. 3rd game and we still have a chance to win our section depending on the other game next to us. We had to win by about 11 shots to have a chance, Played John Howarth and Alan Thorp (Bribie Island) and been in last 4 few times in this tournament. We were 7-8 after 8 ends and had to take a chance to get numbers but in chasing dropped a few and a 7 towards the end which was unfortunate. Although the Green ran well, was hard to get turn on the drive and I missed an important one. Anyway down 12-26 which the result did not tell the game.. Matts Super 10s did not perform well on these Greens. I reckon he would be far better off with a Srs of Taylor Redline SR's. At least they will turn when required although Matts Super 10s seem tight, just won't perform yet on the Indoor they are Terrific… Great Days Bowls and Great to play that Standard of Bowls on Good Greens... Winner of the Section were the team we beat convincingly in 1st game.. |
