Funny how it goes. Probably won't sell another set for weeks ... It is with Great Sadness that I have to announce the Passing of another Good Bowling Mate.
Eric Judd, who has been a Member of Broadbeach Bowls Club for a long time. I have known Eric for the 11 years I have been bowling and we played together a few times over the years and you could not have met a nicer Person. He was always there at 8am when I arrived, reading the paper and would have a chat about my bowls site and bowls in general. He tried a few bowls over the years and I often sold bowls for him that he had updated from time to time. He was a constant follower of my blog and kept up with all my news. He will be sadly missed by his Good friends. I certainly will miss him R.I.P Eric……. Grant Osborne and I played on Rink Number 9 for 3rd week in a row but this week North South.
Played against Ron Scamadine and Greg Hughes who were brilliant early and shot to a 4-18 lead after 10 ends. We fought back strongly to get to 13-18 when Greg made a match winning trail for 3 and put a strangle hold on the game. 8 down with 2 ends to play we picked up 2 x 1's and ended 16-22. Good game but their consistency early cost us when we could not find the correct draw. No Bowls here until 11th December for Grant and I as he has a Swinging Cruise and with Green Renovations and me at bribe on 3rd and 4th December. Wrong Bias today. Indoors. Jim Heron and there were rumours that Ray Trewern had one but strongly denied…. Explanation Please Ray !!!!!!! No Bowls Today. No Motor Auctions in Brisbane either. Quiet Day...
Latif and I on a Drizzly Day By looks….
Weather stayed fine and we played Alan Crook and Michael Hoey. Got away to a great 14-0 lead after 6 ends and heading for a great game but as normally happens they started playing some decent bowls. We won 30-13 and got 2nd Money. Greens ran well as usual. I played fairly well but could have been better. Latif was Dynamic the first 6 ends and played well throughout. Good Mornings Bowls and very hot. Grant and I will attempt another effort to win the Enduro today. Grant and I had 3 splendid games today and both played really well all day.
1st game against Russell and Ian Brighton Won 18-8. 2nd game against Aldo Cunial and Bobby Lee Won 21-6 and 3rd game against Mike Wagner and Tony Rhodes Won 19-6. Not quite enough Margin to win the day but Won 2nd Money. Just missed out but about 3 shots. Good days Bowls. Springwood Mens 2 days PAIRS currently under way and at 12.30pm temperature was 40.6 degrees. A few years ago I played under similar conditions and the heat from the carpet burns your feet. So Glad I never committed to play there this year.
Bit Cooler at Brunswick but Never went in the Fours either. Southport had a Prawn day this morning but gave that a miss too. Spent the Day Cooking and with Grandkids in the pool at our Apartments. Great day and busy Bowls week coming up. Brunswick Heads Tony Carsburg FOURS 2 dayer today. I was asked by quite a few people to play but not interested in fours. I am so glad i declined anyway as apart from being pretty hot, its as windy as buggery today and would not be too pleasant bowling.
Springwood 2 day PAIRS also I was going to enter and left it late to do so in the end but once again, playing on the carpet there with this wind would have been a nightmare. Would have played if asked but never looked too far for partner, Not everyone likes the carpet here especially in the wind. Great decision to have the weekend off. went shopping, Cooking and relaxing. |
