Reg Germon and I play together today… Not played here in a while owing to the Australian Open.. Back to Normal Now…
We played Peter Garrett and Ron Wilson on Outdoor Top Green which Ran Well dispite the annoying Breeze/Wind. We had a good 41-4 Win… Easy to play Skip when the Lead is never out of the Head, Thanks Reg, Great game Buddy. I played Fairly Well and looking forward to Ted and I in the Club PAIRS Final Saturday at Robina... NOTE FROM PARADISE POINT There are 2 Ways of Reporting This... # 1 - Geoff Mearns and Ralph Hunt today got an 8 OR # 2 - There were amazing scenes today when Ray Trewern and Red Edwards felt Generous and dropped an 8 against Geoff Mearns and Ralph Hunt. Ralph Prefered # 2... Bob Brown and I Played Lyn and Bill Georgeiou and had a good game on a quick Top Green and Very windy conditions. Bob Played Fairly well but I never had the mind switched on today and apart from a few good shots was out drawn by Lyn and Bill. We Lost 11-23 but was good fun and good relaxing game for my warm up for Saturdays Final at Robina..
A Busy Day today Selling Bowls… Not Bowling today though...
John North (South Tweed) and I played here today on the Lovely Running Tweed Greens
Bloody Cold early but soon warmed up to nice conditions.. 3 Games 13 Ends... 1st game against Karen and Dave Cranwell. A hard game which we ended up with a 7 on 3rd last end to get a good 22-14 win. Also picked up 2 x 5's along the way. John struggled early on the quick greens but I played some good bowls and a short end caught them out at the right time. 2nd game against The Hong Kong Girls Ada and Phyliss. We tried to stay with them but they played some good shots when it mattered but the green on the narrow side had a flaw and the bowls would not come in on a certain line and we lost confidence in it. Went down 8-18 but Not much Luck though in this game... 3rd game against Buscuits (Helensvale) and Cory (Jindalee). 2 Good Young Bowlers and were were 10-10 after 11 end but holding 2 shots on the 12th end when Cory played 2 lovely shots and Buscuits added 1 more and we dropped a 3. We Picked up a 1 on the last end after holding 2 shots with 2 to play, Buscuits drove our 3 close bowls into the ditch and 1 toucher gave us 1 shot so we went down 11-13 in a Great game.. Good Fun days Bowls... Big News from Australian Open FOURS at Helensvale.. I had a message that Ralphie had a "Ralphie" At This Stage Not Bowling today. Southport is Full again in the Afternoon PAIRS...

A Bit Cool this Morning although warmed up to 25 Degrees as the forecast said it would. We played on The Best Green at Southport today, The Top Green against Barry and Damien Edmunds (Cliff Edmunds Son from S.A). Great game too was had and was neck and neck and changing the leaders all the time. It got to 21-19 on last end and we were 2 down on the head with Skips 1 shot each to play. Not wanting a Draw and Damien with another bowl after me, Bob had a bowl about 2ft short of the Jack on the backhand. I need to make contact with it for 2nd shot. I made contact ok but had absolutely "NO LUCK" and just hit the bowl hard enough to knock it through so it did not count but in doing that had my bowl I played just fell over against the Bias and out for 4th shot. We went down 21-22 ….. Disappointed albeit played pretty well throughout the game. |
