Bowling 24th Feb

Two new players this week, Ian and Jerry. Also Bacca back in CNX on holiday after he was last here Oct’08.

Best bowlers today without handicap were Bacca 520 and John B 522. John B would also have won the handicapped high score but not sufficient money today. Bacca sees his handicap drop to 31 next outing. Makes it tough

Winners were the one team of 3. Somsee, Sherman and Phyllis on 2484. We don’t get many ladies any more, but they certainly seem to get in the money.

2^nd place to Brock, Phil W, Les and Michael with 2446.

It’s on again next Wed - Les

Bowling 17th Feb

As the high season is coming to a close the numbers are getting smaller at bowling. Today there were only 23 plays making up five teams of four and one team of three.Welcome to Jamie Miller from England and welcome back to Dan's son Michael .

The two high score winners were Steve J with a total of 236pins and Phyllis with 233pins.

The team of 3 jumped out early by 7 pins in the 1st game but hot on their trail was Chris's team. Chris's team took the lead after the 2nd game and never looked back ,so the winners were Chris,Dao,Steve and Yung with a total team score of 2463pins.They won by 34 pins compared to their nearest competitors,which was the team of 3 .Only two teams were able to bowl better than 2400.Hopefully next week all the teams will bowl better.

See you next time!-Yung

Bowling 10th Feb 2010

Only 25 here today. Less work for the handicapper.

We say farewell to Scott today who leaves Chiang Mai for the UK on Monday. He will be missed by his many friends who will all hope to meet up with him again somewhere.

Team of 3, Ning, Kevin and Phyllis took out 1st place today with score 2475, just 5 pins ahead of Rene, Denis, John B and Gerry on 2470. Michael, CT, Rex and Stewart were a further 5 pins back on 2465. So only 10 pins between the first three places.

Only 3 ladies here today and I notice 2 of them in 1st place.

One winner left early, so we have extra TB 100 to start off the kitty next week.


Bye until then

Bowling 27th Jan '10

Right number of people to have 7 teams of 4 this week.

Early out of the blocks with 1^st game score of 832 was team of Rene, Mike, Pat and Kevin. Although they faulted in the 3^rd game, their score of 2431 was easily good enough to beat Jacob, Denis, Pung and Richard by 55 pins.

John X won highest score again with 1^st game 271. His handicap has now crashed to 29, meaning he has now taken over as our lowest handicap.

Walter, Mike and Jacob were the only players to beat their handicap in all games this week and the winners the only side to beat the 2400 mark.

See you next week - Les

27th Jan 2010

Five teams of 4 and three of 3 this week. Just an odd number.

Some pretty good competition with five teams beating the 2400 mark.

John X had a really good day and with Gary L and Steve J (newcomer) in support, they won the money (TB600) with good score of 2515.Just behind with score of 2497 was Dennis H, Bryce (Les’s mate from Ozz) Kevin and Yung collecting TB 400.

Highest score (TB100) went to John X with 269.

Please come early enough to get your practice game finished by 3.50pm. We say this often but still people continue to bowl when we are trying to get the teams up. Thanks.
