The Waves Caloundra gives Jean the sh.ts

We're going to Jean's sister Alison's place for a baked dinner Monday night. We tried to get a game at Pelican Waters that day but names have to be in week before. We decided instead to play Scroungers at Caloundra on Sunday afternoon.

It rained heavily all the way there from Maleny. We rang to make sure it was still on. They said it's been raining on and off but it's not called off. We kept driving. We arrived just after 1:30 for a 2:30 start. Some bowlers were already there.

Mal gave our Money to Mary. She and Pip explained how it works. They gave us a minus 8 handicap. It's what you do to visitors who don't know the green. Make sure they can't win.

It was a quite busy Mother's Day at the club. There was a singer.

The game is Scroungers with two games of four players - 3-bowl.

Mal played against Barb, Sheila and Leonie.

Jean played against Pip, Robbo and Horst.

Yobbo had an interesting approach to how to treat visitors. He had a go at Jean because she was working on her blog and didn't kick bowls back first end. "It's poor etiquette!" He said. Jean thought " Yes. I know those kinds of people." It put Jean in a bad mood. She was nowhere near the head plus lost 3 with a wrong bias.

Mal did better. He seemed to have the mat a lot.

Last end Jean rolled a short end. She got a full count until Horst took the kitty for second.

Neither of us won. Mal said if he was on scratch he would have. It took us both 3/4 of the game to work out the green. Mal said his opponents were funny so at least he had fun.

Caloundra - rude people take the fun out of the game.
