No Bowls again today. Weather not that crash hot anyway so not missing it….
Pouring Rain All Day…. Bingo today at Jupiters. See what its like. Going to get FREE Lunch there also… Should be a good day away from Bowls… Wife off work today.
********************************************************************************************************************* Wife won $50 on Bingo. Also… Had Lovely T Bone Steak and Wife had Butter Chicken, Carrot Cake and Cocktails. All on the House at Jupiters Casino. Thanks Jupiters…... No Bowls Today for me. Nice quiet day.
Just found out that Sunday at Pennant, Bobby Brown had a wrong Bias. It did not matter though as the weight was terrific (Not his weight) The Bowl weight. Evidently he also drew shot to win the game and win overall for Helensvale. Get with the Strength, Join Helensvale Bowls Club. Latif and I played here today on the Slower greens after weekends rains. I played complete crap today. No idea of Line or weight. Hate slow greens. Was shifty strong winds too. Played against Shirley Fleming and Ron Davies and fought to a 17-7 lead before falling apart. Got Beaten 20-27 although needing a 7 to win on the last end, we actually held 6 within 300mm before Rons Very Last Bowl drew shot and we went down. Almost another unbelievable escape but not to be. Latifs New Bowls not as tight as he'd like but he's happy they have a slight draw and he played pretty well with them and the drives only narrowly missed but basically on target. Having a few days off now as next week 3 dayer at South Tweed will be fun and tiring.
Latif and I Indoor Today. See how Latif goes with his New Super 10's. Matt Cowan and I played together when Matt used his Super 10's and the line is very similar to my Greenmaster Premier WB16's. Will be an interesting day.
***************************************************************************************************************** As usual 3 hard games. 1st game against Ron Lewis and Ted Reid. We Started ok and first 6 ends was 3 ends each although we got 1's and they got 3,2 and 2. Latif had a few drives to see how the new bowls went and we were on rink 3 and very windy today and greens seemed to run faster than normal. Anyway., Down 3-15 after 8 ends but we came home very well and ended up winning 17-16 on the last end when we picked up a 3. Ron Lewis was trying out a super tight set of Edge Factors and although a lovely tight line, Uf you were not on line you were handing or ducking. Anyway Good comeback from the dead. 2nd game against Ian Brighton and Merv Austin. Once again we found ourselves down 1-9 after 5 ends before fighting back once again and we won 15-10 on Rink 2. 3rd game and only 2, 2 game winners and were were playing each other. Alan Brough and Bobby Lee. We Were on the hard to play Rink 1. We started very well and up 5-1. Luck went against us when Bobby lee got a wick and took our 2 bowls out and we dropped a 6. Things went against us from there. Later in the game I had a great drive but Jack went wrong side and we dropped a 5 after Latifs draw on the narrow hand just missed the target and dropped into the ditch. Lost 8-20 so Joint Leaders to about 7th place. Oh well we tried and just fell short again. Won Lucky Rink Thoygh so that was good. Still a Good Days Bowls and Latif Super 10's are not as Tight as he wanted but will see how they go tomorrow at Broadbeach on the slower wet green. Heavy Overnight rains cleared overnight but I am glad i have no Bowls today.
Hate Slow Greens. Ok Tomorrow Indoor All day at Paradise Point Enduro with Latif. He will use his New Bowls. A Real Test on the different surface on the Indoor where all Rinks play a little different. No Bowls Today and Glad to be indoors anyway as heavy rain forecast and I hate slow greens anyway. Plenty of work to do selling Cars and Bowls.
Bought a Nice new Wok today and cooking up a storm at present. 92.5FM give aways while I was a Bundall Harvey Norman. Got a Free Newspaper and a Caramel Milk. Very nice too. Will certainly be buying some of that... Phil Capon on 5 weeks holiday so I am filling in with Tony Edwards today. Should be good as we always play well together.
******************************************************************************************************************* Played against Ken and Graeme Lewis (Sapphire Gardens) on slow to good green with cross breeze Suited Graemes bowls today. He was devastating. We bowled really well but almost every en Graeme would get shot one way or another. We lost 12-23 dispute playing good bowls. Thats the way it goes. Beat the rain anyway…. |
