GARDNER SHIELD
The First round in this season's Gardner Shield took place last Monday at Bowls Taradale. Our teams were so close to having two wins. One team won comfortably but the other team was drawn 15-15 after 18 ends. When that happens an extra end has to be played and our boys just went under.

  CAUGHT SPEEDING
  The cop put down his radar gun and the kid, who was stopped for speeding, rolled down his window.
  "I've been waiting for you all day," the cop said.
  The guy replied, "Yeah, well I got here as fast as I could."
  When the cop stopped laughing he sent the kid on his way without a ticket.  

  PS Yeah, right!

DID NOAH FISH?
A Sunday school teacher asked, "Johnny, do you think Noah did a lot of fishing when he was on the Ark?"

"No," replied Johnny. "How could he, with just two worms?"

FOLLOW THROUGH
Complete the follow through with the bowling arm following behind the bowl, down the intended line, finishing in a horizontal position.  

Bad habits at bowl release and follow through
are a common cause of inconsistency in line and bowl speed. 

  • Keep hand aligned behind bowl throughout delivery

  • Allow arm to follow along the delivery line with palm to heaven and head still

  • Stay down during delivery with the body moving forward along the delivery line

  • Complete weight transfer and stand up slowly by bringing anchor foot up to the leading foot

  • Move off the mat forward along the intended delivery line

DEAD JACK
 Last Saturday a bowl struck the jack which hit a stationary bowl then rebounded FORWARD instead of backward.

a. Do you know what constitutes a dead jack?

b. What is the minimum distance you can have between the moved jack and the front end of the mat?

Law 30        Dead jack
If the jack is moved by a bowl in play, it is a dead jack if it:

  • passes above the face of the bank;
  • passes completely outside a side boundary of the rink of play;
  • comes to rest in any hollow in the face of the bank; or
  • comes to rest at a distance of less than 20 metres, as measured in a straight line, from the centre of the mat line to the nearest point of the jack.

  MRS TIPTREE

  A 75 year old lady rings her local hospital and this conversation follows:
  'Hello I'd like some information on a patient, Mrs Tiptree.
  She was admitted last week with chest pains and I just want to know if her condition has deteriorated, stabilised or improved?'

  'Do you know which ward she is in?'

  'Yes, ward P, room 2B'

'I'll just put you through to the nurse station.'

'Hello, ward P, how can I help?'

'I would just like some information on a patient, Mrs Tiptree, I was wondering if her condition had deteriorated, stabilised or improved?'

'I'll just check her notes……

I'm pleased to say that Mrs Tiptree's conditioned has improved. She has regained her appetite, her temperature has steadied and after some routine checks tonight, she should be well enough to go home tomorrow.'

'Oh that's wonderful news, I'm so happy, thank you ever so much!'

'You seem very relieved, are you a close friend or relative?'

' No, I'm Mrs Tiptree in room 2b.

Nobody tells you anything in here! ’
