When we were at Cabarita Beach yesterday Terry told us he's a member at Kingscliff Beach and he rang Jenny to get our names down for 9am pairs.
It's a big (long) club and its nice inside.
Mal stood and looked out over The Pacific .
The club has three beautiful greens that were being rolled as we arrived.
There's also a memorial garden.
When we arrived we met Jenny in the office who explained the format. We told her about our trip.
Then we met Dave from Jean's club Weston Creek.
We played together - pairs again (yay!)
We played on two different greens
We played first game against Bob and Jennifer.
Jean was having so much fun she forgot to take photos of our good bowls. Despitethe photo we won 19 to 1.
Second game was on the Artie Booth green.
We played Barry and Laurel. They were tougher competition. Barry is Games Director at Cabarita who Jean spoke with by phone yesterday.
We bowled well but they bowled better.
Mal bowled like a champion. To use a Malism, he "Bowled like a man repossessed ". So many times they had several shots. Mal came in and drew beautifully or drove them out. Jean said "You were the star today!"
Jean struggled a little with weight, nevertheless she bowled consistently.
We lost the game but won on ends 6 to 5. Not enough to win the money!
Kingscliff Beach - we tried our best.
