TROUP/BRANTON MEMORIAL TOURNAMENT – 20th June 2019

Unfortunately the Troup/Branton Memorial Tournament was cancelled due to the potential for inclement

weather. Rain date has been scheduled for September 26th.

Every Monday afternoon at 1.00 pm, there are an eager number of members who turn out and invest a “Loonie” to play 4-3-2-1. Convened by Suzie Palmer, 4-3-2-1 allows members to practice their skills at getting their bowls closest to the jack and therefore obtain the highest score. Those with the highest score at the end of four games get to win a small monetary prize for their endeavours. Good practice and lots of fun! To encourage new members to play, Suzie came up with the following jingle:

4-3-2-1 Let's go out and have some fun! Sign your name and pay your buck! Enjoy your day & best of luck!

STRAWBERRY NIGHT – June 28th, 2019

A good crowd turned out for

“Strawberry Night” on Friday June

28th. This is one of the “Special

Events” run by the OLBC during the

season and is always a favourite

amongst the strawberry lovers.

The event was delayed by two

weeks this year due to the weather

conditions delaying the strawberry

fruiting.

PLAYER DEVELOPMENT CAMP – LINE AND DELIVERY 10th June, 2019

Oshawa held a one-day Player Development camp on

June 10th. Approximately one dozen members came

out to enhance their skills. All went away with ideas of

how to make practice fun. This drill had 2 line jacks

and 2 centre jacks all at different lengths. Use 4 bowls

and play against an opponent and score who gets

closest to each jack. Double your points if the bowl

lands on the coloured mats. Requires focus, length

and line adjustment. The game is challenging and

rewarding. But remember your predelivery.

Special thanks to Heather Comba, Jan Bauer and the other OLBA coaches who spent their time to make this an interesting and informative day.
