Grant asked me to play with him and Alan Grossett today so seeing as it is Xmas and chance to wish everyone I said Yes. Should be a good side anyway…
******************************************************************************************************************* We played Simon, Merv Cobb and Bobby Davis. We had a good enjoyable game and Won 31-22. All played some good bowls but Grant was amazing. Brilliant Draw Bowls all Day... Dennis Tabb and I had a game together for a change and we had a good one too. Played against the Southport Pairs of John Roberts and Kevin Mattimore. We had a great start and out to 10-0 after 4 ends but they came back hard at us with some great bowls on the slower green. We were down 12-13 after 13 ends and on the 16th end was 15-15. We managed to scoot away in the last few ends to win 27-16 but it was a good tight game with some great bowls played. Dennis gave me some Great Bowls...
I used a Set of Redline SR WB17 4H and am selling for a guy. They are so close to my Premier WB16 line I almost bought them myself. Wont be giving these away now I know their line... My Bowls still in my car and waiting for the locksmith to come and get me mobile again and get my bloody Bowls out... Latif is working this morning so I am playing with Mal Alagich which will be good practice for our Club Championship in February
******************************************************************************************************************* A Great Bloody start to a nice Warm day. I was out early dropping a set of bowls off at Chevron Post Office, Then check my P.O.Box at Surfers and got my Tax Bills and then shopping at 7am at Woolies. came home and had a shower and ready to leave for Bowls and the key would not open my car. I came upstairs and got my Brand New spare key and Guess what !!! Battery dead as never used to 7 years. Lucky my son was home so nicked his car but all my bowls and shoes etc were in my car. Luckily he had a hat in his car and among the 20 pairs of shoes i found a pair of 1935 sneakers with flat bottoms with holes in and laces tied so tight you would have thought they were superglued. Anyway I got to the club and borrowed a set of Size 5H SRs… I thought it better to let Mal Skip but after a few ends I went ok. We played Bev Lyons and Anne McClure. We started great with a 6 and were 11-0 up after 4 ends but they came back at us very well and Bev who played some wonderful draw bowls on the slowish middle green and I struggled for line and often weight and got out of trouble a few times with weight shots. Mal played some rippers but Annie too played some great bowls especially 2nd half of the game. We ended up hanging on to win 21-18 but lost far more ends although managed to keep them to 1 shot ends. Great game and very hot conditions. Went to Von Bibra re Keys for car and the Bastards won't open as screws have been stuck so tomorrow I have a Lock smith booked. Going to be a nice price as keys might just need recoding, if not !!!!!!! Big $$$$$$… Electronic Shit… Works ok for a while the all hell breaks loose. Alan Elliott and I who are playing together in the Premier 7's thought we had better have a few games together. Total 3 games 14 ends.,
1st game I was Lead against AAA, Gary Alexander and Peter Elder. Alan and I played very good bowls but were beaten with Peters conversions on most ends. We were chasing at the end a had a chance for a 7 and holding 2 shots but Alan was narrow and we dropped a 4 and game over. We were beaten 6-21. 2nd game against Brett Eade and Red Edwards who had won their first game.. I skipped this one. We had a very low scoring Tight good hard game. We were up 9-8 and holding shot on the last end when Brett moved the Jack for 3 and with my last bowl I drew shot and we won 10-8. 3rd game against Davd Dodge and Brian Lamb, 2 game winners. Alan skipped this one on my request and we played great bowls to beat David and Brian 21-8. Another Great day and a Great Sponsor. L.J.Hooker... can't Wait until January Event 11th January 2016 Not Bowling Today. Was going to get a Team in South Lismore All day Pairs a few weeks back and now so glad I didn't as Rained Yesterday and today won't be much better..

***************************************************************************************************************** Nice Game today in Nice Friendly competitive atmosphere. Shades across for the Sun shade which took away the extreme heat, Bob and I met Steve and Deslie Dann and had a really good game against them. Bob played pretty well with his new Multicoloured Bowls and I did ok for the most part although it did not help us much. Steve led pretty well but Deslie saved numerous shots early on when we could not get the mat to go long and found ourself slipping behind every end. We ended up losing 11-20 but just could not get a break when we needed it owing to their good tight bowling. Anyway, Will try and get back here Fridays and I urge ALL other Bowlers who play elsewhere FRIDAYS to give MUSGRAVE A GO. FREE COFFEE TOO !!!!!! FOOTNOTE…. A bit of Frivolity on the Greens today when One of the Ladies Complained that "He is always Knocking me off".. Lucky Her !!! Also…. George Horley and Laurie Smith got runners up today and played like a couple of old Pros… (Well 1 Old Pro and 1 Old Whore) Well Done Guys. Or Course Joan Wallis and Her Partner blitzed the field to be winners. Only 1 Green at Paradise Point as others still out so decided not to Bowl Triples or Fours there and I have to meet some people at Paradise Point This morning so No Bowls at Broadbeach for me today but will also be at Broadbeach at about 11.45am to see someone.
******************************************************************************************************************* Busy Day. Picked up 4 Sets of Bowls to sell from Broadbeach and Paradise Point…. Charlie Laws and I play together today which will be nice…
*************************************************************************************************************** Played against Dennis Tabb and Brad Carbiss. All played very well and after 14 ends score was 9-6 but we got a 5 and 3 to give us a good lead. Got out to 23-8 before losing the last 2 ends 4 and 2 to finish 23-14.
