Draws!

Afternoon draws will take place from April 22 – 25.  Tags in at 12:45 for 1:00 draws.  Yes this is before Opening Day.  However, with the great weather and our Greens being in good condition we thought we would get those bowls rolling!!  The draws will be organized by some seasoned and some not seasoned Draw Masters.  Please bring your patience along with your willingness to help organize the rinks.  The Greenskeeper has advised that GREEN MATS ARE MANDATORY AT THIS TIME.

See you all soon.

Garage Sale Thank you

Thank you, thank you to PLBC members, to the donors, buyers, packers, the people that did a dump run, the cashiers, the floor people at the sale and all of PLBC members. Our preliminary total is totally amazing – 4,500.00!  As I said before, “it takes a village to raise a child”.  Thanks for all your help.

Open House and Novice Lesson Help Needed

We are almost at the start of our 2025 season.  Our Open Houses and the week of Novice lessons need your help.  For the Open Houses just show up, help where you can and leave when you want.

The Novice lessons need you for the 2 hours of the lessons, and we need to know that you will be here.  As always, I have no idea how many sessions we will have.  There is a sign up sheet on the coaching board which is now located on the first board as you enter the sun room.  You will be contacted.  If there is a day or a time during that week that you cannot help just make a note with your name.  The lessons will start at 9:30 and, if necessary, a second session will start at 1:00.  If you have any questions, just ask.

Thank you.

Sandi Mitchell, Player Development.

TRAINING IN MEASURING

Do you want to be more confidant in your ability to determine “shot” with a box string measure?

As a Lead in a Pairs game or a Third in a Triples or Fours game it is your job to measure and agree the number of shots with your opposite number.

One on one training is offered with a qualified umpire in a 30 minute session. This will be in the Clubhouse until the green is available, then sometime in April and on, it will be on the green.
