It's our last day staying at Home Hill. Jean contacted nearby Ayr Bowling Club to get our names down for a Saturday afternoon game.
There's a big logo on the wall.
We met Joe, Pam and Arthur at the table. Pam was the one who Jean spoke to on Messenger.
We're blown away by all the sugar cane around here and saw it burning 🔥 last night. We were told at Home Hill BC that this is one of the last places where they burn cane as the local mills can't handle raw cane.
It's a pleasant little clubhouse with a big bar.
There's an impressive framed photo array of the original club.
The ladies seem to have done well in Pennant.
There are two greens. The original synthetic
Which was installed with the shade in 2005.
There's another synthetic green . Not sure what surface.
It's the Tapiolas Green.
With a pull-over shade.
It was installed 2019.
It's triples today. We selected tiles again to get our teams.
It was Jean, Henry and Wayne (visiting from Woodgate Beach near Bundaberg).
Against Rob, Arthur and Paul
Then Mal, Elaine and Sam.
Against Margaret, Alec and Dot.
It was a full green. Popular event! Everyone was friendly - joking around. We felt welcome.
First end Jean put two in then Wayne and Henry consolidated for five!
Skip Mal put in a beauty second end.
Even with the super fast green Jean was happy with how she bowled.
We had smoko at 3pm then came back out. Jean'steam was ahead the whole first half. With three to go Jean's team was down three.
They got two initially the went down two. They got killed second half!
Mal was frustrated. He said he couldn't get the grass. He missed a lot - just! But he won by five shots!
We came inside and Sam found Jean a badge for her hat.
