Bowling 25th June

Eight teams of 4 today – perfect numbers.

Good to see Susan, Graham B, and David W back after a few weeks off. Welcome to lady Lee for the 1st time.

No real good performances again, Surachot was the best with gross of 475 pins.

Anita won 200 baht for best net game score of 263 in second frame. Well done Anita, your best game yet I think.

Winners of 800 baht with net team score of 2438 were Ben (650) Lee (1st timer – 572) Richard J (589) and wonder of wonders Les (1st time in 2 years -627)

Second place 400 baht went to Corky (608) Gary L (588) David W (578) and Som See (652). Team total 2426.

We might need some adjudicators at the draw in future as Les got in a winning team, Gary L got to play with the high scoring Som See and Scott maybe picked his own team.

It’s on again next week - Les

Bowling Wed 18 June

8 teams this week including 2 three’s.

No real outstanding performances, Surachot was the best with gross 495 pins after 496 last week, so that’s pretty consistant.

Winners of B 800 were Surachot (633) Dao (666) Jeff (627 and John V (630). Team average 213.

Second for B 400 three pins behind were Jimmy (614) Scott (591) Colin (672) and Ben (643). Team average 210.

So I have heard it said that teams of three have better chance than teams of four. Not the case today anyway.

No high score prize today.

That’s it then, not much else to report on. Hope to see you next week – Les.

Bowling Wed 11 June

Whoops – late getting this on site again.

Nine lanes this week. Only newcomer was Nai (with Jeff) – welcome Nai.

Yung is back into good form lately and is proving to be our best bowler. He knocked over 547 pins today and suffered a 14 drop in handicap for that effort.

Highest Score B 100 went to Michael B 263 who just topped Yung’s 261.

Second team prize B 400 went to Richard 592, Michael B 684 and Ram 588. ( Team ave 207 ). So once again highest individual score gets their team in the money.

By the way would you believe we now have two men with the same name, John Richard. So the newest one is just being referred to as Richard on the scoreboard. ( both of them in the money today ).

Winners for B 800 were Dennis 614, John R 704 (good bowling John) Mike 606 and Colin (again) 623. ( Team ave 212 ).

Would welcome any thoughts about having an International Teams Day sometime.

C. U. next week - Les

Bowling wed 4th June

Boy, the weeks seem to go past fast.

Couple of new players this week. Jeff from Orlando Florida in U.S. who has been around Thailand for a couple of years. And Tim from Stratford-on-Avon in U.K. who has been here 3 years. Tim is a Therapist here in Chiang Mai, so if any of you golfers would like a consultation, I have his number.

33 Players today and best gross bowlers over 3 games was Yung who just failed by 1 pin to reach 500.

J.J. had best day out again today winning high net score B 100 in 2nd frame with 273, which as often happens helped her team to B 800 1st place. J.J. 183-273-204 (660)
Richard 192-227-224 (643) and Mon 233-206-216 (655).

2nd Place B 400 was John B 194-189-196 (579) Mike 222-238-192 (652) and Yung 212-216-248 (676) – 51 pins in arrears.

Just a reminder we would like you all there by 3.30pm or give someone a call and to let us know you are on the way. With numbers of 30+ it takes a bit of time to organize the draw.

Also practice games to finish by 3.50pm so Jack can get the teams up on the monitors before start time of 4pm,

Thank you – hope to see you next week - Les
