When we were at Club Maroochy the other day we put our names down for Monday 2pm. We arrived nice and early.
The other day we were impressed with their three nice grass greens that the State Fours were played on.
In the office we met Col, Carolyn and Dan.

We played on the front green
By the deck but there were people playing on all three greens.
The club is smallish but has pokies so doesn't have that nice little bowling club feel.
The game was 2-4-2 pairs. We played together. It was purple day. Clubs around here seem to like uniforms so Jean wore Mal's Geelong City shirt for the right colour.
Glenn, who is visiting from Brisbane took our photo so we took his with his dog Ralph.
We sat on the deck for a drink while we waited. Mal read Ian Smith's email which said all Tuggeranong Pennant grades bar the Ones got into the semis. He was happy. He really misses playing with them.
Brian and Jo came and sat with us and we talked about our pussy-cats.
We played against Peter and Anne.
We just couldn't get the weight. Jean took to driving all she did was cut them down. After six ends it was 1 to 15.
Jean finally got two but they didn't last.
Suddenly Mal got two and we were off.
We'd worked out the weight.
And again.
We lost by fifteen but we thought we were going to get a nice, thick coat of clear paint! We didn't embarrass ourselves. They were good bowlers and we took too long to work it out. We came inside for drinks.
Col welcomed us. We had a good chat.
Club Maroochy - we almost got shellacked!
