Men's Champ Colts Singles
Good bowling conditions meant there were no excuses - and none were
needed. The bowling I saw was accurate and impressive especially when you consider
these bowlers
had fewer than two years experience. The final was between Cory Morgan and Barry Gardner.
Congratulation to Barry who won with both lives intact. Cory is to be
commended for putting up a good fight and for making Barry earn every
point. Well done.

Etiquette -
Behind The Mat
Hand your opponent’s bowl to him/her or place it next to the mat. Stand at least
1 metre behind the mat. The bowls should be to the rear and side of the mat. If
the bowls are directly behind the mat they can be a danger to those players who
step back after delivering a bowl. There should not be too much talking behind
the mat – it can disrupt the player’s concentration.

COACHING CORNER
THE LEAD EVERYBODY WANTS
Unless you are asked by your skip to roll the jack a specified distance,
endeavour to send it to a length that suits you – and continue to do so unless
asked to change. If your skip gives instructions to roll it a certain length you
must try to obey.
You now have the job of getting the bowl as close to the jack as possible. After
an end or two you may decide to use just one side of the green, that is,
forehand one way and backhand the other because the width and pace of the green
will be much the same both ways. If you make that decision don’t change during
that game. A lead should become machine-like. When you do it is very satisfying
but you cannot maintain consistency if you chop and change from one side to the
other. If a bowl close to the jack looks in the way more often than not you
will miss it. If you go inside it you will get shot, if you go around it you
could get shot and if you rest it you will have at least a good second shot. And
no skip will be unhappy with a good second shot. There are other players to
follow you and it isn’t the end of the world if you don’t get shot, but by
staying on the hand you know you will have a better chance of getting a close
bowl. There are others in your team. Your job is to get your bowls as close to
the jack as possible.

Question: During a Gala at a local Bowling Club a bowl from the neighbouring
rink was heading for our jack. The person on the head lifted the jack and let
the bowl pass through. She said, “I am allowed to do this.” Was she right?
Law 33.6
Jack displacement by a bowl from a neighbouring rink
If a jack at rest on the rink is in danger of being moved by a bowl from a
neighbouring rink, any player at the head or the marker should stop the bowl |

 RETARDED
GRANDPARENTS
After Christmas, a teacher asked her young pupils how they spent their holiday
away from school. One child wrote the following:
We always used to spend the holidays with Grandma and Grandpa. They used to live
in a lovely big 2 storeyed house but they got retarded and they moved to a
retirement village near Napier.
Now they live in a box sort of house and have rocks painted green to look like
grass. They ride around on their bicycles and wear name tags because they don't
know who they are anymore.
They go to a building called a wreck centre, but they must have got it fixed
because it is all OK now, they do exercises there, but they don't do them very
well. Sometimes they sneak out to golf but their bits are getting stiff. Also
they need operations to fix some of their parts. Especially poor old Grandma.
 There is a swimming pool too, but they all jump up and down in it with hats on.
At their gate, there is a doll house with a little old man sitting in it. He
watches all day so nobody can escape.
Sometimes they sneak out, and go cruising in their golf carts. Nobody there
cooks, they just eat out.
And, they eat the same thing every night --- early birds. Some of the people
can't get out past the man in the doll house.
The ones who do get out, bring food back to the wrecked centre for pot luck.
My Grandma says that Grandpa worked all his life, and so did she, to earn their retardment and says I should work hard so I can be retarded someday too.
When I earn my retardment, I want to be the man in the doll house. Then I will
let people out, so they can visit their grandchildren. |
