I walked through the gate tonight and instantly lost the will to live. I'm not a short grass zealot but i do prefer the grass to be of an even length - on immediate inspection it was clear that the green was hardly even. Any undulations were caused by part of the grass being something like 10 mill and the rest being 10 inches. Seriously, if my todger was that long there would be a queue around the block.
Game started well with three winners in the first four, but for the second four it was less fun as the light dimmed, the fog deepened, the rain came and the grass started behaving like Japanese tentacle porn and gripping onto running bowls.
From a personal point of view I started this year as I ended last year - not having the oomph or desire to compete at a standard I'd have done well at three years ago. Is it all over? Maybe, who knows, but whatever it cannot continue.
Clubwise it was a good night as the B team won away at Triplex - their scores are as follows (Craig was too slow/dense to take a picture of the board):
Pete Greenhill 21-7
Maggie Wooley 7-21
Chris Greenhill 21-11
Graham Wiggy 14-21
Graham Scarrot 21-5
Chris James 21-4
Crags 21-10
C J 21-8
A picture was taken of the Triplex and we will try and get pictures of every green we visit. In this shot, Wiggy is wondering why in gods name he agreed to play.
Oh, we missed the result of the Club Doubles that was played over the weekend. In a delayed final, C J and Cat Crane (henceforth to be addressed by all and sundry as Dora the Explorer) beat Gilly and Neelash. Congratulations to both.
Onwards and upwards, and lets hope someone fixes the bloody mower!!
I didn't forget to take a pic of the board , it just wasnt readable. Also for context the wood a couple of yards in front of wiggy was his lead :)
