Mapleton OMG - Jean beat Mal!

When we were In Maleny yesterday Joseph told us we could get a Saturday game at Mapleton. Jean got on Messenger and talked with Mark. Mal rang and spoke to Ed to get our names down for 12:30.

We met Ed at the bar.

Then Mark came and introduced himself.

Jean sat and chatted with Ros. She's from Canberra. She lived in Farrer.

The club has one grass green. When we arrived the paid greenkeeper was rolling it.

They have fixed scoreboards.

The clubhouse is nice and cosy.

There were six teams, four pairs and two triples. Pairs played each other and swapped after one game. Triples played each other both games.

Jean played with Jeff.

Against Martin and Ray.

Mal played with Sandra.

Against Martin and Graham. We loved Martins moustache!

Jean liked the Pennants the club has won.

Even though it rained the whole time we played, Jean and Jeff played well. Jean wasn't that close but often it was enough.

Jeff and Mal both won so we played each other. It was spouses against spouses. Jeff and Jean kept getting shot and Mal kept taking it from us.

Mal and Sandra were going up by ones. Jeff and Jean got zip. Jean thought they'd have to do a nudie run. Then Jeff and Jean got a shot then a multiple and got a bit of confidence. Mal said "The turning point was when you got that 3-bowl wick shot!"

Jean was shocked when she asked Jeff the result. Jean and Jeff won 12 to 5. We came inside for drinks and results.

(Mal, Jeff, Sandra and Jean)

The winners had 30 shots. We didn't care - we had a lovely time. To top it off, one of the ladies gave Jean some chocolates for being a visitor.

Mapleton - rain, rain, rain but fun!
