Great day at the Pairs Tournament

It was a little chilly, but we had a fantastic day on the green! Seventeen bowlers showed up for the event so we had four rinks with a ready substitute (THANK YOU GARY KNOX!). All bowlers played three 12-end games under blue skies. The draw produced some interesting teams with our seasoned players matched with our promising novices Erwin Vista and Mark Gurling. In the end, though, it was experience that took home the title as Skip Bob Schwartz and his lead Charlie Black edged out John Spiers and Dave Schmalenberger in the last match for the win. Thanks to the generous nature of the players we had plenty of snacks including some awesome brownies made by Gary Knox who still seems to be on Thai time from his vacation. What else do you do at four in the morning but bake brownies? In addition to winning the pairs match, Charlie Black also took home a very nice bottle of port wine by winning the Spider game. Charlie has been bowling for many years and it was a joy to see his fighting spirit today. As tournament director, I must say that it was a very successful event. Can’t wait for the next club tournament on August 28th and our next Pizza Night on June 15.
