QUOTE
A winner is someone who recognizes his God-given talents
works his tail off to develop them into skills
and uses these skills to accomplish his goals. |
|
ETIQUETTE
Bowls should not be dropped on the Green.
Bowls should not be kicked in until the shot has been
decided.
Don't delay the game.
Don't wander around or move about the head when a player
is about to deliver a Bowl.
All Bowlers should know the laws of bowling

COACHING
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.

BOWLING LAWS
Scoreboard v Scorecard (who does what?)
If you are playing in a competition in which both scorecards and
scoreboards are being used Law 37.3 has this to say: (I have
condensed it a little)
If a scoreboard is used as well as a score card, the second of
the team which won the toss for opening play should update the
scoreboard and the opposing second should deal with the score
card.
Winner
of toss = Board
Loser of toss = Card ..... Think of the girl's name "Elsie" (or
LC) L=loser C=Card

SATURDAY ROLL-UPS
A questionaire concerning Roll-ups on Saturdays has
been posted on the noticeboard. Some suggestions have been made
and you are encouraged to add to the list before a decision is
made. If you are a regular Saturday bowler please give it urgent
consideration.

WHAT'S IN A
TAP
A passenger in Dave's taxi leaned over to ask him a question
and tapped him on the shoulder. Dave screamed, lost control of
the car, nearly hit a bus, drove up over the curb, and stopped
just inches from a large plate glass window.
For a few moments everything was silent and then still shaking
Dave said, 'I'm sorry, but you scared the Hell out of me!'
The frightened passenger apologised to Dave and said he didn't
realise a mere tap on the shoulder could frighten him so much.
Dave replied, 'No, no, I'm sorry, it's entirely my fault.
Today is my first day driving a cab..... I've been driving a
hearse for the last 25 years.'
