We went over to Kangaroo Flat on Monday to put our names down for Thursday and rocked up. Apparently they had rung Mal to say it was cancelled as only five names down. Mal's phone is at JB Hifi being fixed so we missed it.
The club has three greens. Two grass (one under maintenance
and one synthetic- carpet.
They have an interesting sponsorship arrangement.
Jean couldn't work out the grass so decided to just take out Mal's bowls to get some practice. She had a little success.
(Jean puts three of her and one of Mal's bowls in the ditch)
On the ends where Mal couldn't make it then she just drew shots. Forehand wasn't working for her going away from the clubhouse so she switched to backhand which put her back in the game.
When she got the mat she rolled short ends. That helped. Jean scored a four which made her six to Mal's 5. She said "That'll be the last shot I score!" It wasn't. The carpet was so hot it melted the soles off Jean's bowls shoes.
When it was Mal nine to Jean's six, because it was hot she suggested we play to 15 (she thought Mal would get there quickly). Turns out she started to play better and the scores levelled.
It was Jean 12 to Mal's 13. Jean said "You only need to score two and we can go home! But Jean scored the next two to make it 14-13 Jean's way. Finally Mal scored his two and it was over.
(Jean is always on the left!)
Kangaroo Flat - you missed our great company
