Bowling Wed 20 August

Bit late getting this on site again, but better late than never.

No real impressive gross performances this week, but many bowled beyond their handicaps in all three games including Yung, John R, Ben, Wan, Graham S, Garry W, David W, Ning, Jo and Gary L.

We had 35 players, 8 teams of 4 and one of 3.

Wan had a bit of a day out with net scores of 215, 216 & 274. The 274 is a very big score and won the 100 baht high score prize. Wan and Jo both bowled 5 consecutive strikes in their their last frame. Very well done and Jo was close behind highest score with 260.

Winners for 800 baht were Brock 565 (back 2 weeks and 2 wins), Surachot 605, Nongruk 625 and Wan 705. Wan has lost 15 pins off her handicap.

Second place for 400 baht, only 8 pins behind were Corky, David W, Ning and Jo.

Yung will be taking over for a while next Wed, see you there - Les

Bowling Wed 13 Aug 08

Well we had 40 players today. Think that might be most ever. Numbers were swelled by some visitors and maybe some new bowlers. Mark on holiday from Australia staying with Les, Dr Graham a regular visitor from Scotland, Hiro and Yuki, local Japanese known to the golfers, and Brock from Canada back again. We lose Darrell Steen back to Canada this week after a 2 week visit.

Couple of good performances this week with Surachot back in form and the improving Scott, both with 502 gross pins.

Winners today of the 10 teams of 4 for 800 baht were Gary L (644) Brock (647) Colin (699) and Ted (581). Team net score 2571.

Second for 400 baht were Corky (646) Dennis (634) Ken (669) and Shane (600). Team net score 2549.

Highest net score and 200 baht went to Nam with 266 in the last frame after a few others earlier thought they had the money.

Also had a low score prize of 100 baht and we won’t mention names but score was 135.

See you next Wed - Les

Bowling Wed 6 August

35 players this week. One new one Nam who is a pretty good bowler already. Tried to get me to give her 100 handicap. Watched her practice game and gave her 75, she gets a mention below.

No outstanding performances. Yung and John R were best gross bowlers with 453 and 451.

Highest score B 100 to Surachot with gross 246. He also had the best net on the day 659. Others to bowl 3 games above handicap in each game were Jim C (623) Nam (617) David W (613) and Jo (640).

Fairly easy winners of B 800 by 26 pins were Ram, Jo, Garry L and Scott. Total team score 2444.

Second place B 400 to Michael, Mike, Les and Ken with 2418.

As we had 7 teams of 4 and one of 3, we tried a different system of working out scores. Rather than have a team average for all teams, we simply averaged out the team of 3 and multiplied that by 4. Checked this after the game and this system seems to work. Lots less work and gives a team net pins score on the board.

Another week done and dusted - Les
