Perfect Conditions for a Big Day on the Greens

Twenty-six players fronted on another perfect winter’s afternoon. A game of club singles and a game of club triples were held alongside three social triples matches.

On Rink 5, Paul Vass edged out Des Chapman in a tight singles clash, 25–21.

In the triples, Gary Nosworthy, Dino Poli and Hugh Montgomery proved too strong for Maude, Bob Pickard and Phil Marsden on Rink 3, winning 25–13. Rink 4 saw Michael Young, Elaine Young and Trevor Elton account for Bob Young, Ron Smith and Terry Feakes, 24–16.

On Rink 6, Margaret Chapman, Bruce McCallum and Michael McClosky dominated Judy Elton, Mick Olsen and Wayne Newton, finishing 20–7.

Rink 7 featured the daily winners—Tony Caruso, Yogi Bunn and Alex Bojack (pictured)—who defeated Henry Hazel, Sandra Darwin and Steve Doig 22–10.

Tony Caruso also claimed the breakfast tray raffle, with Alex Bojack taking out second draw and a nice bottle of wine.

The Monday morning fitness group, Tuesday Trimmers and Wednesday morning Kraft group are still going strong. Wednesday night barefoot bowls continues to attract keen bowlers—whether it’s the competition or the pre-game sausage sizzle.

Thursday morning BINGO remains very popular, and Thursday afternoon social bowls is both competitive and well attended. Saturday afternoon social bowls is just $5 for a game.

Until next week—good bowling!
