Bob Barry and I played Bob Davis and Brad Carbiss. Won 9 ends straight to lead 13-1 but ended up winning 25-15 after dropped a 3 and 4 towards the end when they picked up their game. Good game on nice running green. Good to play with Bob Again. He played well. Pretty happy with my on shots again today.

George Horley and I were supposed to be playing Open Pairs here today but when we got here, they were called off as lack of teams. George and I had a 2 hour roll up and a good game of singles and I only just got up 21-17 in a hard fought game. George and His Last Bowl. He was almost walking funny towards the end if he had drawn another shot with his last bowl.
Barry Shephard and I played our 1st game against Jack Mc Gargill and Rob Watkins. We only won 4 ends from the 11 but won 8-7 in a hard game where I played crap in the windy conditions. Barry played well with his new Dynamic Aeros. 2nd game we played against Brian and Troy (Ferny Grove). Had a great win 21-5 and played really well. Won the Money. Nice way to end the year 2012.
No Bowls today. Went to Broadbeach to get names in for Tuesday and say Hi to Broadbeach mates, Peter, Steve, Lez, Keith, Bob and Barry. Greens Look Good. Renovated and Green
Bob Brown and I played Orm Geiger and Gary Matham on Rink 10. Slow Green but True but very trickey with our tight Bowls. We played a little better although not brilliant for our 31-14 win. Won the Money Geeee.... Only 5 Rinks there today. Was good to play Pairs with Bob again.
Grant and I today in 3 games against some good opposition at Ballina.
Weather not the best although we escaped with a few showers and 1 lightning Bolt that Made Scotty Jump to a height never seen before and Turned Vince Beckley into an Albino Our 1st game in a hard section was against Scott DeJohng (Broadbeach) and Des Cann (Helensvale). We played fairly well but it was Scotty with his new Fusion bowls that done the damage on numerous occasion with Draw shots and Trails that took away any chances we had of winning this one. Chasing towards the end to try and get a score we ended up losing 6-15. 2nd game against Michael Turner (Kingscliff) and Steve Halmai (Condong) Winner of Bribie Island Fours and Singles before Christmas. This was 1 game I really wanted to play well and Grant and I did just that. We had a great win 15-6. the luck that deserted us in the 1st game was with us this game. Grants long ends seemed to unsettle the opposition. 3rd game against Ron McCabe and Delio Santarosse (A Previous WInner of this event) We started badly although they had pressure on us from the start. 0-7 down after 4 ends before the rain delay. We tried hard but just never matched them on the wet surface and we went down 5-16. A good day anyway and nice to get home in the dry and think about the poor devils who won their sections and had to play post qualifying at 6pm. Grant and I played Jim Suttie and Kim Harlow. We were down 0-16 after 8 ends, 9-16 after 11 ends, 10-24 after 16 ends. Almost pulled off a great victory and were within reach but I was not good enough with my last bowl or the game to trail for 3 to win or draw for 2 for a draw. Jim Played well but Kim saved and converted time and time again. Ended up losing 23-24. Grant hates Rink 4 indoor but it was my weight control for the early part of the game especially that let us down today. Done a few good shots later but let too many get away. Enjoyable game and good warm up for Ballina tomorrow where I will be focused against Top Competition. Not that today was weak. Jim and Kim give anyone a good hard game anytime and deserved their win again today.
Taking Daughter and Wife to Sales then off home to relax for the day.
Merry Christmas to All. Great Day on the Gold Coast with the Family.
Was asked to play in the Pairs today in the afternoon with Brett James. Looking forward to it and saying Merry Xmas to all mates there.
***************************************************************************************************************** Was a good afternoon. Nice weather and slowish true green. Brett is a part time bowler and filled it for me today. Was good to play with him and he played very well with his old Classic 11's as they suited the slow green. 1st game against David and Barry Shephard. Dropped a 4 on the 1st end and were down 2-8 after 5 end but won the last 6 ends to win overall 10-8. I played some good conversion shots and Barry Shephard was 1st time with his New Aero Dynamics. He will be ok once adjusted to the 3 1/2 size. Good win 1st game. 2nd game against David and Bill and again we played well for out 14-7 win and 8 ends. Won the Money which was good.. |
