Palisade Gardens Mixed Pairs August 17th

8/18/2024

Given the weather forecast on Friday night most of us expected to be told on Saturday morning that our open mixed pairs tournament had been called off. But no, Cobourg's eco system meant we had an almost completely dry day.

We have a new sponsor for this tournament Palisade Gardens Retirement Community and we were delighted to welcome Brenda Thompson, representing the sponsor, who presented the prizes.

The winners of the tournament were Cobourg's Peter Stuart-Sheppard playing with Sharon Paxton from Oshawa. Congratulations to them.

Club Singles

8/11/2024

On August 10th we held the best club singles championship for many seasons. Twelve ladies entered and eleven men and there was some excellent bowling and close games. The ladies championship was sponsored once more by Carol Dewey and Carol presented the prizes. The men's was sponsored by Martin Foxhall but Martin was not able to attend and drawmaster Tammy Browes-Bugden did the honours.

The format was round robin for ladies and men's with each game being eight ends. There were two groups of six in the ladies and in the men's one group of six and one of five. The top players in each group contested the final and the second player in each group contested third place.

Ladies – Lynn Bryans won Group A with a perfect 15 points. Runner up was Sheri Perkins with 12 points
In Group B Laura Mounce won with 12 points and the runner up was Mary Salter with 10.
In the finals Lynn beat Laura 9-4 and Sheri beat Mary 12-2 so the final result was:

Winner – Lynn Bryans
Second – Laura Mounce
Third – Sheri Perkins

Men– Carl Ferguson won Group A with a maximum 12 points. Runner up was Bill Arthur with 9 points
In Group B Bill McCollam and Al Bell tied with 12 points but Bill was the winner having won the head to head.
In the finals Bill beat Carl 8-3 and Bill beat Al 9-7 so the final result was:

Winner – Bill McCollam
Second – Carl Ferguson
Third – Bill Arthur

A big thanks to all the players for making the tournament a success. Also to the volunteer markers, the greenskeepers, the kitchen staff and the drawmasters Tammy Browes-Bugden and Martin Bugden who ran a very smooth tournament on their first outing as drawmasters

Open Novice Triples

8/11/2024

Twelve teams competed in an open novice triples on August 8th. The tournament was sponsored by Louisa and Bill Arthur.

The winning team of Chad Burgie, Derek Ash and Elaine Antaya was from Lindsay and they put in a great performance winning all three of their twelve end games with a magnificent score of 53+4, only one point away from the maximum. The Cobourg team of Terry Bradshaw, Al Bell and Laura Mounce won their first two games but were well beaten by the Lindsay team and that loss dropped them out of the prize money.

The second placed team of Henry Kowalski, John Ledgerwood and Helen Kowalski also won three games with a total of 39+10. The story behind that result is that they won both their first and second games in the final end before finishing with a big score in the final game.
