Pairs at Berkeley will be on October 15. Let’s have a good turn out! Sign up in the clubhouse or email gary@garyknox.us
Closing Day (already?) is on October 22. A signup sheet is available in the clubhouse. These are always good events with this year’s being held at San Francisco LBC. No pressure, just a chance to bowl with some of the divisions best – and nicest – bowlers.
Wow, did we get a lot of work done! Howard Mackey a.k.a. Bulldog, attacked the blackberry bushes that have sprouted in the surround. With a little help from Dave Rockhold, we filled the whole dumpster! Ann Gardinier managed to weed about half of the ditch while Alan Kaplan did a bang-up job of cleaning the clubhouse floor. Good job all, and thanks!
We also managed a very short pairs game with Shawn Roney filling out the lineup. Ann and Shawn are two novices to keep an eye on. Both have superb form!
With only three staying for pizza, we decided to call it a night (year) and shut the door on the 2011 pizza night season. Nothing says we can’t organize some other type of evening event though!
Our heat wave gave way to more typical Berkeley weather so we were able to enjoy the cool fall morning today as twelve members competed for the annual Two Bowl Singles title.
After the morning rounds, four bowlers – John Spiers, Dave Rockhold, Gary Knox, and Phil Grattan – competed in semi-final and final matches. In the final match, Phil scored the winning point on the final end – even though it was Dave’s birthday. Congratulations, Phil.
Thanks to Gary Knox for all the planning, scoring and rink setup. Thanks, too, to Linnea Gershenberg and my wife Barbara for the “surprise” birthday lunch complete with awesome birthday cake.
