Motor Vehicle Auctions today in Brisbane so no Bowls…
Latif and I played very well against Ray Camperton and Mal Aligich for a 34-10 win and 2nd Money today. The Green ran about 13 seconds and held my bowls nicely and wind was minimal in the morning although afternoon it picked up dramatically.
A Weeks Break from Bowls as Off to Sydney Thursday for 50th Wedding anniversary of Wifes Sister. Will take bowls but doubt will get to play anywhere. Bowls Today with a Visitor Jeff Beard from Westport Port Macquarie.
I skipped today and Skipped quite well. Jeff gave me some very good lead Bowls... 1st game against Ken Coite and Terry Fuller. Everyone played well although we went down 8-13 in the end. No Luck at all but some great conversions by Terry cost us in the end. 2nd game against Jack Mcgarvill and Doug Muir. Another Very good game again although we went down on the last end 9-12. Nice to play with Jeff… Good Player enroute around Australia... No Bowls arranged for today as yet but depends on the weather and if I can be bothered playing at Southport this afternoon.
Great to have a day off Bowls today and concentrate on the Selling Part. Sold a lovely set of Dreamline XGs yesterday. Posting This morning to Melbourne…
The Best Colour Grey with Black Speckles. I am playing with Bob Atkinson today. First time as I have often played against him so will be nice. I will lead for him and relax after yesterdays experience with high winds at Mermaid.
*************************************************************************************************************** Was cool and windy but not as bad as yesterday and I played really well. I Led for Bob and we played Bob Blair and Tony Healy. Had a great game and went down on the last end after holding a 4 shot lead after 18 ends. It was another one of those games when we just could not get a really good lead. Great bowls played by all. John Turner and I play together today. Nice to bring one of the Cabarita Boys up to the Gold Coast for one of our tournaments. Look forward to it and skipping again too.
****************************************************************************************************************** Terrible Conditions today, So Windy and Cold.. Really spoilt the Days Bowls.. 1st game against Phil McLaren and Laurie Paatsch (Hamilton). We started well and some great drives by Laurie kept them in the game. We slipped behind but managed a 6 on the last end to win 22-18 and 8 from the 15 ends., Good hard game and we both played fairly well under the conditions., 2nd game against Heather C and Melissa Gill. I have played against these 2 Draw Bowlers before and the certainly played the windy conditions better than us. We went down 6-29 with just 3 from 15 ends, No Matter what we did, They Did better. They ended up winning the Tornament with 95 Points… 3rd Game against Paul Watson and Abdul Latif. A game spoilt by conditions and Latif had 8 drives and missed them all, Thats the conditions we had. Paul Led well and John did to in parts. 25 ends 2 Bowl PAIRS and We managed to get 12 of the 25 ends from them and u until the last 2 ends were right in it but just could not get the lead. Dropped and 3 and 4 on last 2 ends trying to force the results so went down 20-30. Shame weather was so bad. Day started out very well. Paul and Latif ended up with 3rd place overall. Latif and I had a close 25-21 win against Joe M and Dennis Askew today. Very tricky conditions on holding Green and fluctuating cross winds. Managed to get home though although I never played particularly well.
