TOUR STOP SIX - WOODSTOCK
The Dr. Krupp is one of the tournaments that is a must on my annual list. Played on quality greens against skilled teams makes it a delightful day. Toss in excellent weather with a dash of a breeze on the hill , my teammate Len who thrives on a challenge and you can't help but smile all day. Their still are a few classic beautiful sterling silver trophies in use to engrave the winners names. Woodstock and the Dr. Krupp provide a chance to stand alongside a long history of renown winners. This year it is Mr. World Jurgen and Blue Bowl Billy. Talk about thriving, Jurgen's skill rises like a thermometer with a similar rise in the pace of the green. And Bill Baxter is the model of a consistent, effective lead. A strong pair and worthy members of the Krupp club. And look at that Davey Gray. Quietly, well not that quiet, and shyly, nor that shy, he has moved to the top of the overall. Consistent play has its rewards, actually not that much. The winner of the overall gets nothing at the end.

TOUR STOP FIVE - THAMESFORD
A shot for the highlight bowls video. Four down coming home and being outplayed by Moe Cosyn and Buzz Bidwell in the game. Bob North finally played 4 useful bowls in one end. He had previously played a total of 4 useful bowls in the game. Down 2 in the head with last bowl, Skip Chuck Townsend had to catch the inside of the opponents front shot bowl to ricochet into their other shot bowl and the resting jack. If it was a perfect angle, with the correct weight, the opponents bowl would slide out of the count and the jack would be squeezed back and roll 2 feet towards the ditch into a bundle of joy.
Holy moly. A 5 count.
This was the first tournament at Thamesford since Bob Forbes died in January. A tireless worker and a strong supporter for his club and the sport, Bob's presence remains as solid as the new patio dedicated to his memory.

TOUR STOP FOUR - EXETER
It is necessary to keep the green header this week with this duo from Heritage LBC in Kitchener topping the tournament. Both are dedicated, exacting, skilled bowlers who seldom waver from their focused game face. They have become familiar faces on the Wednesday circuit making the 200 km round trip this week even more rewarding. They both have climbed near the top in the cumulative point standings. I thought I might be able to procure a late entry into this gathering but it was a full house. It was worth it to miss the day just to hear a tournament was stand and watch if you come.

TOUR STOP THREE - SEAFORTH
If the team includes a Bester, you know they will be in the running for top spot.
Bob who started playing because he was driving his sons to competitions anyway is now ranked with the top bowlers in the country. Jim Spence is a newcomer on the circuit and did his part to help the team win the Seaforth stop. For those that haven't played this Club, it is unique. One long green of 16 rinks which could stretch to 18 I believe. The greens ran well, the competition was sturdy, the food plentiful ( top notch pies ), the weather wonderfully summer ( some like it hot) ) and the people as nice as the dessert.

The review
Every week points will be allotted to the top teams based on the number of teams entered.
If 12 teams 1st = 12; 2nd = 10; 3rd = 8
If 14 teams 1st = 14; 2nd = 12; 3rd = 10; 4th = 8
If 16 teams 1st = 16; 2nd = 14; 3rd = 12; 4th = 10
If 18 teams & Up 1st= 18; 2nd = 16; 3rd = 14; 4th = 12; 5th = 10
If 18 teams & Up 1st= 18; 2nd = 16; 3rd = 14; 4th = 12; 5th = 10
Any different number of entries, I will figure it out --- secretly.
Players will win points as a team but the scoring standings will be by individual.
This is basically a Wednesday gathering of good bowls and good fun. Nothing wrong with it but rarely do you see the same team combinations from week to week.
We are just glad to have Wednesday afternoon off when we toil so hard the rest of the week.
Wouldn't you know it. I had to drop out so my planned partner, Ian Jones, obviously plays way over his head and wins the day with Jim Roth. Of course securing Jim was a bonus. This lefty from Sarnia is making waves both here and in Arizona. A winter resident in Sun City, Roth nary has time to clean his bowls between his playing and looking after the greens at his home club. And I must reluctantly add that Ian's skilled play is the norm, not the exception.
