Nice Drive Home, All the way. 4am start, Back on the Gold Coast 2pm Gold Coast time. Tired and slept on return for 2 hours.
Visit Mother In-Law and visit some family for Christmas as we head back to Gold Coast tomorrow for Xmas there.
Nice drive from Port MacQuarie to Sydney. Cooler Day and nice for the Drive.
Driving to Port MacQuarie today. Sydney Thursday, Visit Relatives Friday and pick up daughter Saturday and come back home to Gold Coast.
Looking for a game Sunday 23rd or Monday 24th if anyone knows anywhere also 26th. Surely something on somewhere????? Had nice drive down and Had dinner at the All You Can Eat at Port City Bowls Club. Lovely food and very hot day for nice walk along the Prom. Saw Dolphins in the Bay. 2 games today 13 and 15 ends, more fair for the weaker sides.
Wayne Krohns, Bob Avery and I had 2 fairly good games. 1st game indoors on Rink 8. Played against Karl G, Mark and Tony Lynch (Skip from Mt Tamborine). Gave us a good hard game and early on we were down 4-9 before I switched Wayne to Short ends where we gave them a better game and we won 17-9 winning the last 6 ends, 2nd game outside on the new green against Mick McGrath, Mike Wagner and Barry Alderdice. Another good hard game and we were pretty close all game but on the 13th end went to a 14-9 lead. 14th end we held shot and I put in an almost perfect blocker to protect it but Barry got his drive through and got a 4. 14-13 going into the last end. 1 down on the head and I had last bowl and failed to draw within the 1ft required and we had a very good draw, Hot day and last game before Christmas and trip to Sydney tomorrow. Grant Osborne and I tried extra hard today to win the last tornament of the year here.
**************************************************************************************************************** 1st game against John Bennett and Aldo Cunial. For most parts of the game they out bowled us although we never played that Badly, Especially John with those Tight Powers, was deadly. We were down 6-14 before Grant switched to Tactical short ends and we had to fight so hard to get back into the game but a 7 on the 12th end got us in front and we managed to stay there for a 18-15 hard win. 2nd game against Clifford Naughton and Ron Lewis. We started slowly again and Ron drew very well as usual. Down 0-7 after 4 ends but a 1 and a 7 got us in front. We were going ok and holding 2 shots when I was slightly heavy with my last bowl and gave away shot and went 2 down (5 Shot turn around). 2 other turn overs by me presented them to a 12-16 win. A game Lost. 3rd game against Bob Avery and Wayne Krohns. We played in patches and all went wrong in mid stages when we were well in the game, I drove and dropped a 6. Never recovered although Bob and Wayne deserved their win as they played well especially Wayne. We lost 10-21. Highlight of the day. Clifford who played with Ron Lewis had a set of edge factors just purchased from Ron. He had 6 or 7 wrong Bias. We have a new contender. Move over Brownie and Red. He even had the cheek to ask for a Tax Invoice while paying his wrong Bias Money... No Bowls again today. Look forward to Tomorrow All Day at Paradise Point Enduro.
Badly wanted a game but was too lzxy to ask more than a few regulars so had a wasted lazy day.
