SO. CALIFORNIANS WIN A PAIR OF TITLES AT<br />
U.S. CHAMPIONSHIPS<br />
Southern California bowlers enjoyed success in two of<br />
four events at the United States Championships competitions,<br />
held the final week of October in Sun City, AZ.<br />
San Diego’s Jim Olson won the U.S. Men’s Singles,<br />
while Eva Lee and Kim Heiser of Laguna Beach took home<br />
the Women’s Pairs title. Olson’s victory was the first U.S.<br />
Singles win by a Southern Californian since he won the same<br />
event in 2003. The victory for the Lee-Heiser tandem marked<br />
the <strong>Southwest</strong> Division’s fourth consecutive Women’s Pairs<br />
title, and seventh in the last nine years.<br />
Northeast Division reps, Bob and Dick Sayer, won the<br />
Men’s Pairs. The brothers won their first Pairs title in 1996.<br />
Florida’s Jackie Tucker took Women’s Singles honors. It<br />
was the first Singles crown for a Southeast Division woman<br />
in 21 years, and only the second since the Women’s Championships<br />
began in 1977.<br />

THE 2008 U.S. CHAMPIONS: (l-r) Women’s–Pairs, Eva Ho & Kim Heiser (Southern California), Singles, Jackie<br />
Tucker (Florida); Men’s–Pairs, Bob & Dick Sayer (Rhode Island), and Singles, Jim Olson (Southern California).<br />
Index<br />
sets of Singles and Pairs teams for this year’s championships.<br />
In the hunt, but falling short were: Women’s Singles<br />
- Katy Stone and Heather Stewart. Men’s Singles–Mert Isaacman.<br />
Women’s Pairs–Robin Olson and Tanya Hill. Men’s<br />
Pairs–Bill Hiscock and Gery Wagner, Liam Courtney and<br />
Bill Brault.<br />
The Lee-Heiser vistory in Women’s Pairs was not without<br />
Southern California drama. Both SWD entries finished<br />
regular play in a dead heat, each with 5 wins and 2 losses,<br />
requiring a special playoff. The extra match went down to<br />
the wire, with Lee and Heiser edging Olson and Hill 17-16.<br />
The United States Championships Tournament is played<br />
annually, matching top qualifying players from each of<br />
USLBA’s seven divisions in a round-robin format. By virtue<br />
of its large membership, the <strong>Southwest</strong> Division is the only<br />
division that qualifies two sets of Singles players and Pairs<br />
teams for the event.<br />

ASKED: If lawn bowling is one of the<br />
world’s oldest, if not the oldest, continuously<br />
played sport activity, how has it<br />
changed from the days of Shakespeare and<br />
Sir Francis Drake?<br />
CRYSTAL BOWL: According to historical<br />
documentation the answer is: “very little”!<br />
Yes, there have been a few rule tweaks<br />
here and there, bowls are made from synthetics<br />
instead of wood, and electric mowers<br />
do a niftier job manicuring grass than<br />
peasants with scissors. But the game, itself,<br />
is played virtually the same way Willy<br />
and Fran played it back in the day.<br />
Indoor bowls is the 21st century’s<br />
growth (survival) hope for the sport, and<br />
played enthusiastically in most countries<br />
that offer the original game––with the exception<br />
of the United States. Aside from an<br />
occasional indoor tournament, American<br />
indoor “lawn” bowling of note has been<br />
confined to an annual Las Vegas event that<br />
took place on the convention hall carpet of<br />
the old Hacienda Casino-Hotel during the<br />
1980s.<br />
Presently, our top bowlers, under the<br />
banner of the PBA, vie for invitations to<br />
international indoor events by qualifying at<br />
outdoor artificial carpet venues.<br />
ASKED: How do you modernize a game<br />
that’s been played the same way for centuries?<br />
CRYSTAL BOWL: No one seems to have<br />
figured that out yet. Not Americans, not<br />
anyone. But there have been some creative<br />
ideas that appear to be causing a positive<br />
stir.<br />
THE CRYSTAL BOWL<br />
Among them: Matches played in<br />
“sets” instead of double digit (18, 21, etc.)<br />
ends. At the top levels of bowls, Pairs,<br />
Triples and Rinks matches are often being<br />
played in the best of three 7 to 9 end sets.<br />
Singles get a similar ‘set’ treatment, except<br />
played for points––first to 9 or 11 points<br />
wins a set. In other words, a lot like tennis.<br />
In this type of scenario, the first player/team<br />
to win two sets is the victor of the<br />
match. If one player wins the first two sets,<br />
the match is over. If each player/team wins<br />
one of the first two sets, the third set simulates<br />
a playoff. The concept was created<br />
for European TV coverage, but has gained<br />
momentum throughout the bowling world,<br />
particularly at major tournaments. Shorter<br />
games played in sets gives every end a<br />
“must” edge, keeps matches from being<br />
runaways, and holds spectator interest.<br />
Probably he most visible concession to<br />
modernization is the infusion of color on<br />
the green. In our part of the world, some<br />
of our more adventurous advocates have<br />
taken to lawn bowls in technicolor. What<br />
would Shakespeare say about those dayglo<br />
orange, azure blue and tomato red bowls?<br />
“Aye, Conrad. That’s the rub!”<br />
And now we have team shirts in pastels<br />
and multi-colors, many with Picasso-ish<br />
designs. Overseas, international bowlers<br />
are now wearing team ‘uniforms’, something<br />
on the order of basketball warm-ups.<br />
Remember when commercial logos were<br />
a bowling green no-no? While these team<br />
uniforms are far from the logo obsessive<br />
NASCAR outfits, they nonetheless ain’t<br />
your grandfather’s lawn bowling whites!<br />
ASKED: Any new hip, out-of-the-ordinary<br />
ideas to promote lawn bowling in Southern<br />
California?<br />
CRYSTAL BOWLS: Well, we participated<br />
last year in AARP’s national conven-<br />
NEXT ISSUE COPY DEADLINE<br />
JANUARY 30<br />
tion in Anaheim. It gave rise to a caldron<br />
of energy and promotional spirit, including<br />
the Southern California Green Jack quarterly<br />
newsletter and a terrific new website.<br />
The site features just about everything that<br />
you’re likely to be curious about, or need<br />
to know, or should know about your favorite<br />
sport. It’s actually fun to click onto just<br />
to see what’s going on. Maybe even see a<br />
photo of yourself!<br />
The AARP involvement also encouraged<br />
more than a few Southland clubs to<br />
get new member promotion happy. You’ve<br />
read about the big-time successes at Newport<br />
Harbor, Santa Monica, Holmby Park<br />
and Santa Maria LBCs, among others, in<br />
previous Green Jacks.<br />
Another something the more creative<br />
among us might look into is a snappy<br />
nickname for lawn bowling. Let’s face it,<br />
“lawn bowling” sounds so…so yesterday.<br />
“So dial-up,” as kids would say. Overseas,<br />
the sport is called “bowls”, which, in addition<br />
to sounding less stimulating than ‘lawn<br />
bowling’, presents the image of pottery<br />
spinning or Japanese fast-food take-out.<br />
Don’t you think we should be hip and<br />
in step with the times? Cool and jiggy like<br />
so many of today’s commercial enterprises?<br />
Examples: Beverages & More (the<br />
new wine, beer, spirits chain) calls itself<br />
BEVMO. Washington Mutual Savings is<br />
WAMU. Orchard Supply & Hardware is<br />
OSH. Stores have a buy one, get one sale<br />
called a BOGO. And, Southern Californians<br />
live in SO CAL. So how does LABO<br />
sound in place of lawn bowling? Let’s<br />
LABO dude!<br />
Can you visualize? Hoards of prospects<br />
lining up to LABO at clubs all over<br />

THE GREEN JACK<br />
DEAR DR. GOODWICK……..<br />
RX for more consistent excellence<br />
The Champion’s Secret!<br />
Have you ever wondered if there<br />
is a “most important” component<br />
of being an excellent lawn bowler?<br />
And if there is, what is it?<br />
Most excellent bowlers agree<br />
that it’s not in the grip, stance, or<br />
arm motion. For them, having a<br />
clear MENTAL INTENTION for<br />
their shot is the number one factor<br />
for lawn bowling excellence. The<br />
considerations that come together<br />
to form a bowler’s mental intention<br />
are so basic that most of them are<br />
“unconsciously computed.”<br />
Even when the bowler is not<br />
aware, there are a list of questions<br />
that are asked and answered<br />
at some mental level before every<br />
shot: Stay in the game or burn the<br />
The <strong>Southwest</strong> Division Winter League kicks-off its third<br />
season in December. The League will run from December<br />
thru March, featuring male and/or female bowlers in “good<br />
natured competition” representing their home clubs.<br />
According to League chief Bob Ratcliffe, the competition<br />
will be regionalized and “very sensitive to geographical<br />
and travel considerations”.<br />
Ratcliffe told TGJ there will again be two tiers of<br />
competition:<br />
Trophy League, “with an accent on the competitive aspect,<br />
involving more experienced and accomplished bowlers”.<br />
Development League, “combining competitiveness and<br />
sociability. Designed for both mentor-minded experienced<br />
bowlers, veteran rollers who seldom hit the tournament<br />
circuit, and new enthusiasts looking to further develop<br />
their game.”<br />
Teams will consist of four players of any gender<br />
mix (and substitutes, if desired) playing one rinks match<br />
end? Draw to the jack or drive it<br />
out? Lay down a block or set up a<br />
catcher? Wick off one of theirs or<br />
bump up one of yours? Go for shot<br />
or try to cut down their score? And<br />
of course, once the intention has<br />
been identified, is the better path<br />
forehand or backhand?<br />
Top bowlers are “in the game”<br />
so intently that these questions (and<br />
much more!) are always being considered.<br />
By the time s/he’s decided<br />
what’s the best shot to play, s/he has<br />
a very precise mental picture of the<br />
shot’s desired outcome. This is the<br />
champions’ secret, and it’s available<br />
to every one of us!<br />
Sports psychologists have been<br />
advancing this principle for years:<br />
“Given generally equal abilities, the<br />
WINTER LEAGUE LAUNCHES<br />
THIRD SEASON<br />
Page 3 of 8<br />
bowler (or archer, or golfer, etc.,)<br />
who mentally pictures the process<br />
and the positive outcome of their<br />
imminent shot is far more likely to<br />
produce it than the competitor who<br />
doesn’t.”<br />
Good luck can win an end, but<br />
tournaments are won by realized intentions.<br />
The Doctor Advises….<br />
Your competition is the pattern,<br />
NOT the person. Every bowler<br />
takes the mat facing exactly the<br />
same challenge: to affect the head<br />
so that it enhances his or her team’s<br />
current or potential point status.<br />
Disregard the opponent, and just<br />
play the head.<br />
and two pairs games per play-date. Clubs can enter as many<br />
teams it wishes, and choose the league each team prefers to<br />
enter.<br />
Over the duration of the December-March schedule,<br />
each team will have 6-7 play-dates, at least half of them at<br />
their home green. One of the league’s most accommodating<br />
features is its flexible scheduling of weekly matches.<br />
Entries require a one-time $30 fee for an entire team.<br />
Winning teams will be awarded a championship plaque, and<br />
have their name engraved on the League’s permanent trophy,<br />
which will reside in the champion club’s possession until the<br />
next year’s winners are crowned.<br />
Adds Ratcliffe: “The Winter League was founded<br />
several years ago to provide an environment for Southern<br />
California bowlers of all levels of experience that combines<br />
competitiveness with the opportunities to socialize with other<br />
Southland bowlers. It is intended to support and develop<br />
the clubs, as they are the basic social unit of the Division. “

New Rule––If a bowl is played out of<br />
turn without touching anything on the<br />
green, the opposing skip may either<br />
leave the bowl where it comes to rest<br />
and have his team roll two consecutive<br />
bowls; OR, the opposing skip may return<br />
the bowl to the player out of turn<br />
so that order can be restored.<br />
New Rule––An unused adjacent rink<br />
may not be walked upon by a player in<br />
a match while the other team is delivering<br />
or is about to deliver their bowl.<br />
New Rule––When a measure is called<br />
for it is suggested that the team conceding<br />
shots(s) measures.<br />
New Rule––On dead ends, any bowls<br />
or jack that must move to the other end<br />
for replay must be carried to that end.<br />
<strong>Bowls</strong> can be either carried or raked<br />

GOT WEEDS?<br />
A number of Southern California LBCs have had problems controlling PEARLWORT<br />
BIRDSEYE on their green for many years. Pearlwort is a cold weather weed. If not<br />
controlled properly the weed will take over a green within a few seasons.<br />
According to Amador Martinez, greenskeeper at Oxnard, this weed can be successfully<br />
controlled with Speed Zone Southern Broadleaf Herbicide for Turf. Follow<br />
the herbicide label to ensure not to harm the tif-green hybrid bermuda grass. Speed<br />
Zone is a restrictive herbicide.<br />
“At Oxnard,” says Martinez, “I applied Speed Zone at the following rate: 2 oz<br />
of SZ to one gallon of water. At this rate I applied a formulation of 14 gallons to the<br />
green.<br />
“It took three days to notice the effect of the herbicide on the weeds. A slight discoloration<br />
to the turf was evident. However, in a few days the turf had recovered and<br />
was back to normal.<br />
“It took two additional weeks to completely kill the pearlwort weed, and there was<br />
no harm to the turf.”<br />
The next step is to apply a selective pre-emergence herbicide for control of broadleaf<br />
weeds in established turf. “At Oxnard,” adds Martinez, “I apply Gallery 75 Dry<br />
Flowable at the recommended rate.”<br />

NEW RULES You Should Know<br />
By Conrad Melton, USLBA Head Umpire<br />
to comply, but not rolled to the replay<br />
end.<br />
New Rule––A bowl or jack moved<br />
while marking or measuring should<br />
be replaced by the opposing player. If<br />
moved by an umpire, it should be replaced<br />
by that umpire.<br />
New Rule––When measuring the distance<br />
of the jack from the mat to see if<br />
it is long enough, the entire jack must<br />
be beyond the minimal required distance.<br />
New Rule––If, before either team has<br />
delivered a bowl, a player notices<br />
that the wrong team has delivered the<br />
jack, the correct team shall re-start the<br />
end. But, if each team has delivered<br />
one bowl and a player notices that the<br />
wrong team delivered the jack, play on<br />
that end should continue in that order.
