Bowling greens, cod and yabbies at Deni RSL

Mal rang the Deni RSL and spoke with Wayne Bradley. Wayne said it was unlikely there'd be social bowls today but we were welcome to have a rollup.

We met Wayne and his wife when we arrived. They took our photo and said they'd write about our trip on their Facebook page. That's very nice.

We spent a week in Deniliquin. We were supposed to visit all the surrounding clubs but we had so much fun on Jean's (Dad's) cousin Jo's farm (Mal on the mower

and Jean yabbying and cooking)

we only had time for the two Deni clubs. We figured most would be closed for Christmas anyway.

We liked the Deni RSL greens. Particularly their names.

We met greenkeeper Darrell who told us the green was slow.

We thought if felt spongy to walk on (though quite comfy) but about right weight wise. One side was quite narrow - likely due to the breeze. Couldn't bowl over the white line.

As usual Mal took first blood then Jean scored one. We agreed to play to 15. When it got to 1 to 11 (guess whose way) Jean thought "Great, we can have a drink at the club and then go back to the farm and eat the yabbies we caught!" She decided to practice her skip shots. With all this practice she's getting better at playing on-shots and kept taking out Mal's shot bowl Then she got a four and soon it was 10-13.

Mal wasn't about to have that. Each time she took shot after that he took her out. Ended up 10 to 15. We enjoyed our rollup.

After our rollup we chatted with greenkeeper Darrell about the green, cod fishing and yabbying.

Hey Deni RSL, see you on Facebook!
