Two clubs said on their websites they play Wednesday afternoon. We tried to ring both to put our names down. No luck - so we drove out. First to White Hills then to Strathfieldsaye. Nobody home anywhere.
White Hills' greens were both closed.
and there were blokes doing work on the clubhouse.
We decided to roll up at Strathfieldsaye. They have two nice looking greens. We found the mat box.
Jean wanted to practise weighted shots so we agreed not to score. Mal bowled first to give Jean something to aim at. He'd get shot and she'd try and take him out. In the beginning she just did it by feel and had around 30% success.
One end she put the kitty in the ditch.
Then Mal started to give her instructions and it all went to hell in a handbasket! She said "Nobody's ever been able to tell me how much grass to take!"
On our way out we met Arthur Kendall who came for a rollup. Arthur told us he used to be a member of South Bendigo and ran Jackpot Pairs there on Thursday.
We told him we planned to play there tomorrow. He advised us to get our names down quick because they have limited space at the moment. He told us he'd see us there.
Strathfieldsaye - nice greens for a little club.
