We popped in to Orange City Bowling Club just after we arrived Monday to find out about social bowls. It's Ladies tomorrow. We thought we'd have a quick rollup.
We met Scott the Greenkeeper who set us up.
We discovered there are three greens. Two grass and one synthetic up the end.
We rolled up on Green 1
The Graham Bradley Green.
It's quick but we did OK. Mal knocked Jean up two inches for shot then she took shot again.
Jean kept getting four then Mal would take her out!
We met Bill who's not a bowler. He was doing a course here. He was fascinated with our rollup.
Jean came back on Tuesday and met Louie, Helen and Narelle out the front.
There were lots of ladies there. They were very friendly. There was also Major/Minor Pairs on.
It was three-bowl triples. Yvonne, Di and Jean
Against Skip Ann, Moira and Laurel.
We played on Green 2.
Jean was so happy to finally see a green named after a woman. Jan Oakley State Champion!
Jean started to get it on end four.
Then she came in for shot on the very narrow side.
Skip Ann was killing it. Often Di's team would have three and she'd come and take shot. Yvonne and Jean did really well with five until Laurel's blue bowls cut it back to three.
Laurel told Jean about the Ex-Services Country Club where the men play today at 1pm. She called Mal who got a taxi here to get his bowls to go there.
Di's team got up in the last two ends! 14 to 11.
Orange City - whew, Jean only just won.
