Brian Lamb and I together again for another day or Fun. 1st game against Mako and Dennis McDonald. Dennis played brilliant Bowls the 1st half of the game with not much Support but had us on the Rack. We were down 3-9 when we managed a 6 and squared it up. From then on things went our way and we ended up winning 22-12 (7 ends). Good hard game. 2nd game against James Mcquire and Leo Rhuben, We won 29-4 (11 ends). 3rd game against Joanne Cunningham and Stan. We were down 4-17 after 7 ends but fought back very well. We were up 21-20 with 2 ends to go but lost 2 x 1's to go down 21-22 (12 Ends) Cost us 2nd place. We won High game 2nd game for got $25 each. Played pretty well all day. Brian using a new set of Whitelines Took a while to get use to them and he went ok in the end. Good days bowls and weather. Mermaid always put a good day here.
I was On Standby for Wayne Krohn incase he cant make it to Bowls in the afternoon. Very Busy Morning and will be at Paradise Point Early afternoon anyway
****************************************************************************************************************** Ralph Organized me with a game today as Wayne arrived on time so Bob had a partner. Red was away.. We had 2 great games. Ralph was Brilliant !!!!!! He played very well both games. 1st game against Graeme Rainey and John Bennett. We had a great 16-4 win. 2nd game against Ash and Barry. Another good win 15-9. Windy and Cold and 2 good games and we both played very well. No Money Though. Only 1 wrong Bias from Ralph and that was on the Kitty out of Bounds. Latif and I played here today. Nice traffic down to Cabarita caused Latif to be 20 minutes late. I played 1 end against 2 players with just 4 bowls and went down 1 shot before Latif arrived for the 2nd end. We all played terrific today although we were down 4-12 after 9 ends. We got a brilliant 6 on 10th end and held drawn game until Mario got 2nd shot on the last end with his last bowl and we went down 11-12. Great game though. 2nd game we played Dave Day and Bill and had a great 11 end win 26-3 and still did not get any money. Was very happy with my gake today Played some brilliant shots and drew very well.
No Bowls Today.
We went for a lovely long walk around the Beaches and the shops at Surfers Paradise to see the wonderful improvements the light rail has caused. So many closed shops. Total Kayos.. There are some brilliant people that think this was obviuosly a great idea. A WHITE ELEPHANT. If they had have put Free Buses on for everyone for eternity it would have cost 10% of the cost and no upheaval. Trams went out years ago. Might work in Melbourne. Just a theme park ride for the gold coast in my opinion. Carnival Time at Condong and I was asked to play Skip by Ian Turnbull and John Ritchie from Kingscliff. Will look forward to it. Weather should be ok after heavy Rain Friday (Yesterday).
**************************************************************************************************************** Great afternoon weather and greens ran well considering the rains of yesterday. 2 games15 ends 2 Bowl Triples. Ian picked the card and I could have strangled him for getting us the Hardest Team to play against. Brendan Hoey, Lorry (Punter) Pointing and Charlie Neave (South Tweed). We matched them in every department for our 14-12 win although had some luck, we still had to play well to win. Brendan trying his new Taylor SRV's. Anyway a great win. 2nd game we played Bill, Dash and Wayne Earer (South Tweed). We were down 0-7 after 4 ends and fought back well Thanks to some briilliant Lead Bowls from John Ritchie to get within 2 shots on the 2nd last end when we lost a close measure to be down 8-11 on last end. We had a chance with my last bowl trying to knock up one of the 3 shorts bowls for a draw but I trailled the Jack and went down 1 in the chase. No money for either of us anyway just the honour of winning. Great day with John and Ian. Had a Free Day today and was going to Bowl at Condong Afternoon PAIRS in their Carnival but heavy rain forcast so will give it a miss. Have to Call RACQ Shortly and get my Sons car started and get it to Mechanics as Battery Drained again. Must get it sorted.
