Anyway we won the money for a change and I was happy to have bowled pretty well after yesterday not the best of days apart from a few good bowls at times..
Latif and I had a good game today against Warren Flaunty (N.Z) and David Bishop but had an unexpected 38-7 Win. Although we did play well, we certainly had most of the luck and Dave was not his normal drawing self and must say green was not easy with tricky wind and seemed it has been watered night before so not that much of a run on either.

Alan Law and I for the First time in the Enduro PAIRS. Looking forward to it as not bowled much in last 5 weeks so hope I bowl Well. Went ok last Wednesday at Cabarita Beach.
3 Games 15 Ends…. 1st game against Glen Douglas and Kevin Fowler. Alan and I both getting over the Flu but no excuse for todays bowls.. I never Bowled well and Alan struggled at times with the different speed greens. We dropped a 1 and 6 and 1 and were 0-8 down after 3 ends but we came back well and led 14-12 after 12 ends. Dropped and 1 and 2 to be down 14-15 going into last end.. Alan put Jack in Ditch and was about 2 Metres from Jack and Glen and Kevin drew within 2 ft and I was lucky enough to get the shot with a foot draw to ditch. Draw 15-15 and we played extra end 1 Bowl each and we won that so won overall 16-15. 2nd game against Peter Heal and Colin Bray. Again down 0-7 after 2 ends but once again we fought back to 9-10 after 10 ends but slipped away chasing towards the end and we went down 10-19. They played very well. 3rd game against Ian Brighton and Ray Glasser. A game we were in right up until the end and at 12-12 after 13 ends we dropped a 2 and 2 on last 2 ends and went down 12-16. Good Days Bowls. My Legs ached after not playing much for last 5 weeks but will get back to fitness shortly. Playing next 2 Mornings too.. Not Bowling Today.

Here on Business today so though a game would be in order at the same time... *************************************************************************************************************** We played on Superb Greens today..,. 1st game against Craig Dryden and Colin Mullens. Good game but we dropped a couple of numbers which beat us in the end. Took me a while to get my weight after slow Honolulu greens and not bowled for over a month but we went down 12-16. Colin Played 3 Great Shots and removed my Bowls each time which was the difference in the game… Warren played pretty well with his New Dreamline XG 4H WB26. 2nd game on Quicker Green against Mick and Ray Morrissey (Melton Victoria). Was Great to play against Ray and a dropped 5 on 2nd end left us chasing most of the game although we held our own but on the 10th end, chasing, I was holding 4 and tried to take out a bowl for 6 and get back in the game, In the Windy conditions my bowl grabbed the Jack but slid then Jack to their only bowl in the head and we dropped a 2. 5-12 from there and eventually went down 6-15 but played pretty well, we all did.. Lovely weather Conditions dispite the stiff breeze., Was Great to catch up with Mates from Cabarita after 3 Months. I Not Bowling Today. My Cold still not right. Motivation Still Not Right.
