Harcourt Bowling Club weekend pennant teams were lucky to get on the green last Saturday with the rain we had and more forecast.
After the Friday evening downpour, the Harcourt bowling green was more like a swimming pool, but with a lot of work by the club’s greenkeepers, the good drainage and morning sunshine, the Saturday pennant was able to go ahead.
The club thanks volunteer greenkeepers Ron, Darrell and David for their preparation of the green.
Although all divisions were unable to score wins, the club welcomed new bowlers Tim Carr, Rick Williams, Rod Watson, Darren Cunningham and Wayne Walsh and hope they enjoy playing at Harcourt.
