Indoor Short Mat Tournament
The NWD Indoor Short Mat Tournament gave an early start to the bowling season. A dozen players from King City, Portland, and Jefferson Park went with random partners every game to find the best short mat bowlers of the division.
Chris Davis (JP) and Jonathan Nicholas (PDX) were the "shorties of the day", ironic for Chris, while PDX players Peter Mauro, Debbie Tupper/Pam Edwards found second place a comfortable landing spot. And thanks to Sellwood Community House and Scott | Edwards Architecture for supporting lawn bowling in Portland!

Meanwhile..... El Presidente takes 2020 AZ Senior Open Triples Title
|
NWD President Ernie Carlson's team went undefeated after 3 days of play in the Senior Triples Open held in Sun City AZ. The event is coed, all skips must be at least 70 and the cumulative years for the team must be at least 205 years; this year 20 teams entered.
Ernie, right, skipped the team. Greg Falls, on left, was lead and Jerry Andrews, center, played vice. This was Jerry’s first time playing in a tournament (except club tournaments) and Greg’s second tournament. |

This perfect World Indoor Bowls shot is the most electrifying non-darts sports highlight in British history
|
By Greg Gottfried
It has the majesty of the best British sports, the calm demeanors of the Jeopardy GOAT competition and the spirit of a March Madness upset. How exactly Nick Brett made this once-in-a-lifetime shot against Scotland, we're not sure. His partner, Greg Harlow, gave him the right directions, but still...The angles. The speed. The spin. He only had "six inches between the two bowls." British sports at its best. It all adds up to a miraculous moment, which is only exacerbated by the emotion of the crowd and announcers. The duo went on to win the Open Pairs title at the Just World Indoor Bowls Championships 2020 and was promptly given a trophy that is essentially just a large blue cup. |
