We had decided to go to Barham because the folks at Racecourse told us it's a great synthetic under cover. Waze told us it would take 50 minutes to get there. Jean said "If it takes us through Kerang we'll go there instead." It did.
When we arrived we met greenkeeper Shane, who we're told has looked after the greens for 20 years. You can tell. They are outstanding.
There are four grass greens. Three are beautiful
The other has been fallow for about ten years.
Shane suggested we rollup on Green B adjacent to the clubhouse.
The sign said the greens were running at 15 seconds but Mal reckons it was closer to 17. They were quick!
Like many other clubs we've seen, all the seats are donated by members
Just after we started our rollup David arrived and checked us out. We chatted for a while about the clubs around Kerang and fishing for Murray Cod.
Jean started well with a short end. Mal went long and she scored shot after shot. Suddenly it changed and Jean lost the plot. Mal worked it out and evened up the score. We finished up even.
After our last emd we met Marlene who came down for a rollup. We told her about our trip
She thought it was a great idea. She told us about the Black Duck Jackpot Triples tomorrow but we said we had a prior engagement with Bruce at Nyah.
Kerang Bowling Club - fantastic, fast greens.
