Barefoot Bowls League

We had a small but dedicated group of league bowlers that ended in ties for both 1st and 2nd place. A special congratulations to our newest member and new bowler, Gary Merrick!
Gary and Joe took home $25 each for the 1st place tie while Carol and Jonathan had $10 each to enjoy for 2nd place finishes.

Mark reports that from now until next Spring the green will be mowed on Saturday mornings only and should be ready for bowling by 10:30. The grass is growing so slowly that the green should be good for bowling any day of the week. Watch the weather for opportunities to bowl and send an email to this group if you want to form up a game. Jonathan reports that he has spoken with the Petanque club about the shared use of the facility. Both agree, that due to the low numbers of people we can safely share the facility any day of the week and maintain COVID19 safe distancing.

This perfect World Indoor Bowls shot is the most electrifying non-darts sports highlight in British history
By Greg Gottfried
It has the majesty of the best British sports, the calm demeanors of the Jeopardy GOAT competition and the spirit of a March Madness upset. How exactly Nick Brett made this once-in-a-lifetime shot against Scotland, we're not sure. His partner, Greg Harlow, gave him the right directions, but still...The angles. The speed. The spin. He only had "six inches between the two bowls." British sports at its best.
It all adds up to a miraculous moment, which is only exacerbated by the emotion of the crowd and announcers.
The duo went on to win the Open Pairs title at the Just World Indoor Bowls Championships 2020 and was promptly given a trophy that is essentially just a large blue cup.
