The Ayr Bowling Club has celebrated an exceptional week on the greens, with members coming together for a mix of spirited club Championship games and engaging social matches. The vibrant atmosphere and camaraderie continue to strengthen, showcasing the club's dedication to fostering connections through the sport of lawn bowls. It is very heartening to see that despite the increase in warmer conditions our members keep coming down for a roll up under our shaded cover.
Wednesday men’s social bowls saw two games of pairs played. Winners were Wayne Coonan and Al Hardcastle defeating Happy Horan and Ron Soper. In the second game Dino Poli and Chris Berkery defeated Shane and Chris Olditch.
Wednesday night social bowls featured two lively games of triples, creating a fantastic atmosphere for players of all skill levels. These evening sessions are a great way to learn and improve in a relaxed setting, especially during the warmer months when the cooler night air makes bowling even more enjoyable. It’s the perfect opportunity to practice, socialise, and experience the fun side of the sport.
