Lawn Bowling Club Submitted by Tish Murphy March brought many tournaments and hot afternoons as well as cool windy days and nights. We had our first Doubles Open Select League where teams could choose their own partner. The league was won by Rick Darke and Michael Jahr. Triple Tournaments followed and it was a simple round robin won by first place winners Larry Brownell, Pam Gass and Bev Coutts. Horst Mueller, Jens Pederson and George Chrouser came in second place. Rick Darke, Kevin Cheff and Glenda Rodabaugh came in 3rd place. Jack Spalding/Barry Tocheri, Barry Stuecker and Ann Manikel came in as 4th place. The social committee, Judy Brownell, Barbara Nelson and Brenda Cutras provided some nourishment mid-day for the players. It was a challenging but fun day. A Singles Tournament and our annual USA vs. Canada International showdown followed. Results of those games next month! Check the post for lesson schedules.
