As anyone will tell you, it’s been a bit chilly over the past week.
Some strong south easterly breezes have seen only a handful of dedicated players on the greens.
And the promised rain didn’t arrive; with most clubs reporting only a couple of millimetres.
The end result has been another very quiet, wintry week on the greens.
Here’s what’s been happening:

Yarraman News
Yarraman getting along well with their Championship matches.
In the first semi-final of the Mixed Pairs, John and Jenny Moore defeated Bill and Lorri Holmes 18-15.
And in the other Mixed Pairs semi-final, Brian and Kay Dugdell defeated George and Glenda Wolski 22-17.
The Final was a great match, and it saw John and Jenny defeat Brian and Kay 20-19.
But it was close.
So close, in fact, that the score was 19-all after the last end, so an extra end had to be played with the Moore’s getting one point and John not having to play his last bowl.
And in the Ladies “B” Singles Final, Di Curell defeated Eunice Smith 25-15.
Wednesday saw the Ladies Club Social.
- Winners: Glenda Wolski, John Beattie and Wayne Emms 16 def Alison Anderson, Kay Dugdell and Arthur Smith 16-13.
- Runners up: Kev Profke, Lola Harper and Yvonne Schultz drew Nev Lawrence, Jenny Moore, Leo Robinson and Roy Wrembeck 14-all
The weather reduced the numbers of Jackpot Scroungers on Friday afternoon.
However Wayne Emms was on fire, scoring 48 points, followed by next best Eunice Smith on 17.

Nanango News
The Final of the Men’s Fours was played between Brian Havell, Allan Wright, Athol Jensen and Glen Yeates against Cec Bracken, Trevor George, Lew Saunders and Henry Bliesner.
On crossing over on the 9th end, Henry asked his team if they all had clean underwear on as it looked like it was a flag pole job, 18 to nil
Henry was able to score on this end to save his team, but team Yeates went on to win 31-6.
In Friday afternoons Scroungers:
- Josh Fisher – 74
- Henry Bliesner – 62
- Greg Pogson – 58
- Ross Jeffs – 41
- Lew Saunders – 37
- Ken Stieger – 28
Last Tuesday, in the Social, Bob Hammond, Joe Aglizzio, Bob Hall and Jim Fowler defeated Wayne Emms, Trevor George, Ken Stieger and Mike Wyvill 31-16.
And on Wednesday, Sue Tucker, Knellor Sutter and Sylvia Fanning defeated Sue Tucker, June McKee and Evelyn Jensen 17-10.
