'December 2022 Newsletter

From the President 

 

The good news this month is that Berry Bowling Systems have been back to carry out remedial work to our green and by all reports the playing surface is much improved.

​

Unfortunately however there is evidence that grippo is being used on bowls.This is a practice that will not be tolerated as we don’t wish the mat to be damaged by a few thoughtless individuals. Installing the artificial  green has been a costly exercise and the appropriate action will be taken against anyone observed breaking the rules.


A big thank you to all the guys who leant a hand in rolling back the mat etc.

 

As this is my last report before Xmas I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Merry Xmas and happy New Year.

​

Have a good one.

Tom

Coaching "Forcing Shots"

Session on 7th November by Tom and Murray. Metre on shots. Why do them?

  • Adjusts the head to a more favourable position

  • If you miss your bowl is usually still on the rink and behind the head

  • Playing through the head to move the jack

  • Playing to move a bowl

  • If you're down on the head playing through the head gives you a chance
