Playing Ditch Weight

Our players have been enjoying the very pleasant weather conditions combined with excellent greens in recent days.

On Thursday afternoon there were 22 bowlers involved. The speed of the green was a problem for some players as they needed to adjust the weight of their deliveries. The vouchers for the day were won by Harry Coulson (a visitor from Canberra) and John Cooper with a margin of 17 shots.

In other big wins Brian Christie, Alan Gall and Tony Ruhl won their game by 15 shots and Chris Wright and Brian McNair had a 14 shot margin. Craig Watson and Geoff Holt won their game by 7 shots and in a low scoring game Aldo Malvicino and Joe Bargwanna won their game by 1 shot. The one shot margin was just what was needed to win the jackpot of $250.

Play on Saturday afternoon saw 18 players taking part. There was one game with a very big margin when Scott Douglas and John Cooper won their game 32 shots to 8 to win the vouchers.

All other games were much closer contests with Albert Carter and Tony Ruhl having a 3 shot margin, Ted Loader and Denis Rosen winning by 8 shots and the triples combination of Alan Langford, Bob Ruhl and Les Fanning winning their game by 7 shots.
