So we had information that today is Men's at Hazelbrook Bowling Club. Jean rang to confirm and got Mal's name down. Simon rang us back later in the day yesterday to apologise and say he's trying to get more people on the green. He added Jean's name for nominated pairs.
The club is really pretty. There are nice flower beds.
It's surrounded by bushland. In front
And behind. The boys told Jean "It's a hidden gem!" They were right.
We got there at 11 and parked the caravan for a stopover. We met Greenkeeper Nick who's a Canberra boy. He told us the club opens at 12 so we hung out in the caravan and watched Star TrekVoyager.
There are two greens but Nick told us the lower one is used for Croquet.
We came back at 12 and met Todd, Horatio and Andrew. Lots of other blokes turned up and Jean chatted with them and told them about our trip. They had a sign out today to say today's prize was for highest score.
It was Jean and fifteen blokes. Us...
Against ian and Terry.
There were four pairs games with great Aussie and British Rock music playing in the background.
Jean took shot then Terry put in a beauty.
Mal was bowling really, really well. So was Jean.
At one stage we had them 18 to two. We were in there for the overall highest score. At one point we had five then Terry cut us back to one.
Even though it was horrendously windy we all managed a caterpillar with our grass.
Todd called the results.
Though we won 23 to 13, we were pipped by 1 shot for the winning meat tray - still, Jean won a raffle prize.
