No Bowls Today - Just as well as it was raining hard most of the day. Disappointing Day for Cabarita Beach Mens Greenkeepers PAIRS Day, also cancelled Broadbeach Club Championship Events.
Taking Son and Family to the Airport in Brisbane for their 6 week holiday in England and Europe. Barry Jones Kindly asked me to Lead for him as his Partner who got him to the Final had a Holiday planned in N.Z so I was delighted and will try my best for him today. I am not allowed to Skip as a Sub but played against Barry and He goes ok. Will see how we go. Nice weather Forcast for 10am Start (NSW).
******************************************************************************************************************** Windy as hell but we played Bob Gormly and Peter Schofield. Got a 4 and 3 on 1st 2 ends and we never looked back. Never let them settle and Peter was not well and ended up pulling the pin after 12 ends and down 6-19. We had a good win and was Glad for Barry Jones. Shame Les Rootsey was not here see it through to the end. I Twice Subbed in Finals this year and 2 wins.. Grant Osbrone and I played against Ray Trewern and Red Edwards for the 2nd week running but this week on the Indoor. We got up last week in a good game outside but today was a little different story. Same old thing, We had not much luck BUY its true. Dispite that, Ray Played terrific Bowls with his Bowls Arm and Red Played pretty well too especially early when he saved a couple of important ends. Was a see-saw game but they got away in the end when I failed with a drive and a draw on a couple of ends which I needed when the game was tight. Apart from that Played fairly well. Grant played some good bowls especially the 2nd half but he's still finding his way to last years form but that will come very shortly I am sure. We went down 20-25. Well Done Guys.
I said I would not mention it BUT STUFF IT. RAY HAD A WRONG BIAS Ray Disappointed the Crowd today with No Arm Tosses. He goes to New Zealand for 7 weeks next Tuesday. (Wish he'd gone last Tuesday). Have a Great Trip Ray and See you in New year. No Bowls Today. Getting Sons car fixed after small prang.
Bernadette Groves and I had a very tricky game on a Very Tricky Green and Conditions against Barry Gilbert and John Greening. End to End stuff and we all seemed to struggle with the weight on the slow green. Ended up 18-22 down on last end and down 3 and my 2nd last bowl trailed for 6 only for John to draw 4th shot. A trail with my last bowl for 6 or take him out or sit him back for 6 was on. Played the shot lovely weight but wind held me out so only got a 3 so lost 21-22. Bernadette played good all morning, steady and good shots to keep us in it early. John also played some good bowls as he had nice drawing bowls. Good game and good fun.
Latif back from Holidays and we play together again today. 1st game against Jim Rennie and Ron McCaulley. We had a good game and a 12-8 win. 2nd game against John Madden and Woody we had a fine 25-4 win. Won the Money Today and played really well against the weather and the opposition.
Brian Lamb and I played here today in wonderful weather. 1st game against Yowie Wilson and Luke Wilson from Helensvale. We Had a Great win 24-7. We both played really well. Got to a 7-1 lead before they pulled us back to 7-7 before we took over from there. 2nd game against Kevin Hall and Brian Kent. Sailed into a good lead and led by 8 with 2 ends to go. Dropped a 3 and were 6 down on last end before Brian Drew absolute to win 15-9. Could quite easily have dropped this game. 3rd game and running 4th before we came up against Ray Chandler and Alister Arnott. A bad start and dropped a 4 and never recovered. Whereas we had a bit of luck 1st 2 games, it all went against us here and we went down 8-15. They played Through Bowls and played them well on the tricky slowish holding greens. A good Day Bowls and a Good Field and we won a High game so that was good.
