On The Greens At Goosies

Competition Bowls

Men’s bowlers are reminded to submit their teams for this year’s club competition. Most nomination sheets are now on the notice board, with entries for the Open Fours and Open Pairs closing tomorrow at 3pm. Bowlers without teams can simply add their names to the single-player column, and efforts will be made to accommodate everyone.

The lady bowlers will kick off their season with Opening Day and Past Presidents’ Day on Wednesday, January 22, commencing at 1pm. This will be followed by the Graded Fours and Graded Triples on January 29 and February 5.

The men’s Opening Day is scheduled for this Saturday, January 11, with competition starting the following weekend. The Open Fours and Pairs matches will take place on Saturday 18, and Sunday, 19.

Warehouse bowls will begin on Thursday night, January 30, at 6.30pm. If you’re interested in playing, contact Asko Helenius on 0401 990 622.

Tip Of The Week
It is far better to choose a shot that will provide 2,3, or 4 chances of success in preference to choosing a shot that offers only one chance of success. Again, I say think before choosing.
