Greenkeeper:


Steve Green

We are fortunate to have employed a new greenkeeper and at the same time gained the services of an excellent bowler . Steve Green responded to overtures to join the Club as greenkeeper and player. Since July 2007 Steve has been actively improving the state of our greens. You will have noticed that we have not closed the greens this past winter (as has been the case in the past) this is down to Steve and his team. Steve has also brought with him many ideas for helping the Club improve its image using ideas from the NSW Clubs where he was employed as Greenkeeper.
As a player Steve has seen terrific success winning Junior and senior Championships in NSW and has represented NSW since 1990, he is now a member the SA State squad and was part of the successful team who beat the Victorian Squad for the first time for many years and will be travelling with the team to Perth in March this year.

PROVISION FOR MEMBERS

The Club enters teams in the South Australian Pennant competition each year, in 2007/08 we have entered nine teams for the Saturday Pennants and six teams for the Wednesday Pennants, results of these pennant games can be seen each week in the local press on Thursday and Sunday.

Formal Practice Sessions is on  Tuesday & Thursday at 4.00pm and for those who wish to develop their game further our Coaches will be on hand to assist. Click here for the Coaches Corner, where you can find useful information on ways to help to improve your game.

The club also runs a range of Tournaments, for its own members and invited guests, throughout the year. In addition, several mixed doubles competitions are held to ensure that the members' spouses are brought into the Club's sporting activities. These are all excellent social as well as sporting events, which ensure that new members are quickly integrated into the social fabric of the Club. Details of some of the events can be found on the Club's Social page.

But members appreciate the informal events as much. On most fine afternoons and evenings in the Summer, members turn up and play bowls with others in informal pairs and foursomes. Often known as 'practise'
