Our June 1^st Quaddie was all sun, blue sky, and warm temps. Greens were great and after opening remarks by tournament manager Art Antrobus, play quickly got underway.

For those not familiar with a Quaddie some explanation might help. A Quaddie consists of a team of four players. During the first game the team breaks into two teams of pairs to play other teams. For the second game the team will play as a triples team while the fourth member competes in a singles game. In the final game of the Quaddie all four members come together to play a fours game with each player bowling two bowls.

For this tournament the dreaded bear was on display. Tradition requires those who deliver a wrong bias to feed a quarter in the bear bank and ring a bell to announce the misdeed. The final photo below shows two honest bowlers who owned up to their faux pas, although they vowed not to be in a similar photo at the next tournament.

To use a well-worn phrase, a good time was had by all. Even those of us who didn’t make it into the prizes still enjoyed the camaraderie of bowling with friends.
