We came to Kyabram because they told us via Messenger they had social bowls on Wednesday but they were still on holidays. John the President welcomed us for a rollup.
It's another club over 100 years old.
John told us Kyabram (Pop. 7,000) is the biggest town in Australia not on a major highway or a river. The club has a nice barbecue area there.
And unusual drink stands.
Rob Sceny the greenkeeper explained about the problems they've had and the plastic on the green.
He said a former greenkeeper threw raw fertiliser on it years ago and killed it.
Rob rolled the green and we started a singles game. Jean scored the first three then another. We managed to get the line for a while, then the wind came up.
Mal's narrow bowls fared ok but Jean's just stayed out. At one point she aimed her bowl at the jack for grass and got close(ish).
Jean got bored. She said "I don't mind losing if I can get a bowl down". When it was Mal eight to Jean's four she suggested we play to ten. She just threw her bowls down without care, scored shot and gave up. Score eight to five.
We really wanted a game. Two rollups in a morning is a bit much.
Kyabram, please, no more wind!
