Points Competition

 The Points Competition was held on Tuesday evening with seven of us taking on eight disciplines.

As ever it took a few ends before we all got into the rhythm of who was throwing which stones and what discipline we were on but we did get there and everyone was chipping in (no pun) with scoring, placing stones and keeping each other on track as to how many stones they’d thrown, or not as the case may be. 

Looking at the two score sheets it was, for some, indeed a tale of two sheets. In fact for almost all of us the second sheet proved more fruitful in terms of points. David scored six times as many points going towards the Clubroom as opposed to the car park end, yet for Richard it was the other way around with double his points coming from his first attempts. Margaret was the most consistent with same number scored on each sheet.

However to save everyone’s blushes and focus on the positives, combined we are very good at Chipping the Winner and pretty hot when it comes to Drawing and Striking!

So at the end of eight tests we had

In 3rd place with 17 Points - Margaret 🥉

In 2nd place with 18 Points - Jim P 🥈

The Winner with 19 Points was Richard! 

CONRGATULATIONS 🥌🏆🥇

Thanks to everyone who took part. It was as always a fun evening, a good bit of practice ……..and to the strongest participants, propping up the rest……there is always next year! 

Meanwhile on Sheet 6 Bill and Ronnie were putting four potentially new members through their paces. Some had never been on the ice and others were returning after long absences. Initially intending to have a warm up and join the Points later on, things were going so well the newbies spent the whole time getting used to playing against each other. 

Thanks to Ronnie for giving up his Points Competition to help out and to Bill for doing likewise and encouraging some new players to come and try. Hopefully we will see some if not all again, soon.
