George (No Bad for an Old Bloke) Horley and I had 2 Good Games on Good Running Greens
1st Game against Neil King and Garry Hanna.. After a slow start George and I played pretty well to get in a winning position on the last end down 7-9 after 9 ends. With the Bell about to go I had to make the decision to drive a Bare Jack to get into ditch and get a draw and win on ends. Missed by a fraction and dropped a 4 and went down 7-13. 2nd game against Lez and Ron. Another Tight game at 10-10 and 5 ends each, Last end we were holding before Les drew on toucher. Had 2 Drives and narrowly missed and dropped a 2 to go down 10-12. 2 Good Fun games on lovely Day., Its a Pleasure to Play at Helensvale as Guys are so friendly and Greens always run well Thanks to Luke and Onions and Nathan of course, Fred Barnes and I Played Steve and Ralph, (Hang on While I get Numerous Shots with Wicks) Hunt. We were down 6-13 early on thanks to my wonderful Concentration and Ralphs early Rubs, I regrouped and played fairly well in middle stages and Fred played some Great Bowls and we ended up with a Good 26-16 win dispite Ralphs last Incredible Shot. We were holding about 5 and a Lovely weighted Ralph shot took a beautiful (Bobby Brown) Wick for Shot.. Amazing... Great Game and Good Fun...
Cold day Today... Busy Day Ahead Picking up and Dropping off Bowls
Early Morning 8.15am til 9.00am Visit to Southport Bowls Club 9.30am Musgrave Hill 12 Noon at Cabarita Beach ******************************************************************************************** NEWSFLASH TODAY 2 MAJORS SPORTING PIECES OF HISTORY MADE Sam Kerr scored 4 Goals as Australia won 4-1 against Jamacia in the Soccer World Cup. The Fourth Goal for Australian was reported in the Spoonerism Column of the News paper.. "The Jamacian Goal keeper "Kissed her Mick" and Sam Kerr Scored the Fourth Goal. Now The Best News We have Ever Heard At Southport Bowls Club Today There were amazing Scenes as Red Edwards and Ray Trewern (Paradise Point) Came to Southport Bowls Club for a Game of Good Solid PAIRS and Came up against 2 of the Lady Bowlers. Went down by 11 Shots. I Think This Shows that Lady Bowlers should certainly be allowed to Bowl in Mens Only Days as their Quality of Bowls will surely rub off on the Men Bowlers who struggle to come to Grips with the Superior Skill of the Lady Bowlers. Red and Ray Refused to be Interviewed after the game but Bobby Brown, Reporter for the "Bernie Daily News" managed to hear a few choice words muttered by the Boys as they walked away Duck and Ship, whatever that means. Another Day of No Competitive Bowls althoough had a roll up at Southport with a Set of Nice SRV to see the Line... Taylor SRV Size 4H WB22... Nice Set of Bowls
Quiet Day, Not Bowling Today.
PARADISE POINT UPDATE ON MIXED BOWLS Evidently, Mens Days Are Staying Mens Days (Tuesday and Thursdays) at Paradise Point after More Discussions This is Good as I am sure that Ladies would not want Those Horrible Men invading their Ladies Days... However at Any Time I am Sure that Ladies are Welcome to Challenge the Men to a PAIRS game.as Rinks are always available to play on.... Not Bowling Today but heaps of Bowls listed.
PARADISE POINT BOWLS CLUB - MIXED BOWLS FORMAT
After the Wonderful Success of Friday afternoon Mixed Triples, it has been Decided by Paradise Point Mens Bowls Clubs to Invite the Ladies to Bowl on Tuesday afternoons and Thursday Morning in the Mens Day PAIRS events. This I am sure will bring a New and Exciting Edge to the Game and make it a More Social event, especially for the Men. For the Men, It will bring Scones and Cream and Sandwiches to the game and a Break in between games of about 30 minutes to chat and discuss important items about Bunyons, Language used on the Greens by the Men and Bowl Abuse by the Men Bowlers using their Size 4 and 5 Bowls to Destroy the Size 1's the ladies use. Another Exciting Event will be the Knitting of those little Bowls Covers in Football Colours that will be readily available at the Raffles desk for $4.95 a Set. These will come with an annoying little strings that get a knott in them making it impossible to remove the Bowl. This will be an added incentive for the Male Bowler to Fire up his emotions before the game and ensure plenty of Bowl Aggression throughout the game and make it a totally enjoyable experience for the Lady Bowlers. It will also bring a New Range of Cocktails and Frappees to the fore and might change the Mens Appetite for that Horrid beer. It will be good for Wives to tell their Husbands that they have had enough to drink also to remind them that they have to leave early to get that Painting Job done they told you about 6 months ago. One Problem I can see is that Women Do not Understand that a Man does not have to be reminded every 6 months to do the Job he was asked to do. He knows about it and will definately get to it, after Bowls, If he gets time of course. For the Women, It will harden them for Ladies Competitions, If there are any left. It will test the Quality of their Small Bowls when they are constantly driven into the Ditch by the Male Bowlers. It is going to be Great for the Men, It will teach them how to draw a shot instead of Brute Force or Driving with the "If in Doubt, Drive it out" Attitude. So All You Ladies who are Disenchanted with the Ladies Day, We wish you All the Very Best in your New Venture to play exciting, No Hold Barred Bowls. To Those Men who still want to Persist with Mens Only PAIRS, Helensvale Bowls Club FRIDAY MORNINGS MENS PAIRS. Fred Barnes and I played Rick and Colin Bray and went down 20-25 in a good game. Dropped a 7 early on but always in it til last 2 ends.. Colin Borrowing a New Set of 3H SRV Played exceptionally well as did Rick who put a few good ones in.
