1 in the news ISSUE 64 - AUG 17 your source for WORLDWIDE bowling information The Investment Specialists facebook.com/ BowlsSouthAfrica SET FOR ANOTHER AFRICAN STATES TRIUMPH Alan Simmonds Media Officer Bowls South Africa Johannesburg. - Seven na ons are set to contest the African States Tournament at Edenvale BC, Ekhurleni from September 9 15 just Swaziland of the Zone V Bowls Confedera on is missing; Malawi are sending only a men s team. The event will in future be held every two years, instead of annually; several na ons have found it too difficult to afford a yearly trip or to host the event; a mee ng a er the event will decide the 2019 venue. Teams entered (they had to confirm by July 31; too late for verifica on here) are Botswana, Kenya, Malawi, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe. Last year South Africa s men and women ended winners, as they usually do and Bowls SA president Kallie Haupt said at the me: It was a pleasure to be a spectator during such a superb exhibi on of bowls. Do not think the opposi on was weak; our Proteas had to be at their best - they were. Final 2016 overall scores were: Men: SA 18, +62; Namibia 17, +107; Kenya 10, -49; Zimbabwe 8, -12, Botswana 7, -108; Women: SA 16, +76 Namibia 15, +35; Zimbabwe 12,

2 +17; Kenya 9, -66; Botswana 8, -62. SA men s team is much changed, with only young guns Brendan Ainley (NIBA) and Stephan de Jager (BOL) remaining; the women s side is unchanged except for the re rement from interna onal compe on by Susan Nel. Bronwyn Webber (PNB) again plays singles; Esme Kruger (BGN), Elma Davis (EDB), Anneke Snyman (BOL) again appear; Gauteng North s Vicky Frost makes her debut. JBA s skilful 2017 Gauteng Open Singles champion, George Lo er, in-form Francois Koen (BGN) and the young SA Na onal Singles champions, Wayne Ritmuller (PNB) debut for the men. No doubt there is a reason, but it may be disappoin ng the African players coming will not be this year able to again face champions and seasoned Proteas Morgan Muvhangu (SBA) and Prince Neluonde (JBA); another vet in Rudi Jacobs (NW) is not included this me. SELECTION - AST MEN FOURS George Lo er (JBA) Francois Koen (BGN) WOMEN FOURS Elma Davis (EDB) Anneke Snyman (BOL) Brendan Ainley (NIBA) Stephan de Jager (BOL) Esme Kruger (BGN) Vicky Frost (BGN) SINGLES Wayne Ri muller (PNB) PAIRS George Lo er TRIPS Francois Koen Stephan de Jager Coach: Theuns Fraser (KZN) Wayne Ri muller Brendan Ainley I can see li le reason to suggest South Africa will not again dominate especially in the women s event; none of the players selected is without considerable experience. SINGLES Bronwyn Webber (PNB) PAIRS Anneke Snyman TRIPS Elma Davis Vicky Frost Coach: Jessica Henderson (KBA ) Bronwyn Webber Esmé Kruger My guess, however, is Namibia may prove tough opponents all round; Kenya s cheerful and decora ve Mirrie Ndungu will be much admired a er her forays in open compe on in Australia.

If there is s ll a e the result of the game between the ed teams shall decide the winner If there is s ll a e the placing will be declared as such. If a jack in mo on passes completely outside the boundaries of play comes to rest in any hollow in the face of the bank or rebounds to a distance of less than 20m from the mat line, the end should not be declared dead.

4 FROM PRESIDENT SDESK THE Kallie Haupt's term as president of Bowls South Africa expires during the AGM at the end of this month. Here he says farewell on the eve of his stepping down THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES SAYS PRESIDENT HAUPT Hello fellow bowlers and goodbye... all good things come to an end. I have had the privilege to serve bowls at the highest level for the 12 years and consider myself the luckiest man on earth, having r e c e i v e d n o t h i n g b u t k i n d n e s s a n d encouragement from players, club and district officials during that me. We find ourselves on the cusp of an important phase in the managing of this sport. On one hand government con nues to play a major role in the implementa on of transforma on strategy, but escala ng costs is strangling bowls; another major problem is filling administra ve posi ons at club and district levels. It is difficult indeed to predict the future as circumstances and changes are happening rapidly and outcomes becoming more unpredictable. In spite of all these challenges I m confident your new execu ve will have the exper se to take bowls forward - I wish all a successful term of office. The past 12 years have enriched my life and I thank everyone for an opportunity to have served our wonderful sport. Kallie Haupt - President, Bowls South Africa BSA AGM Bowls SA AGM takes place on August 27 at Edenvale BC from 10:30 am; following a workshop on August 26 from 10:00 am.

5 A NEW REVOLUTION IN BOWLS MOST ACCURATE WAY TO LEGALLY GAUGE THE STATE OF HEAD! New from Australia, the BOWLS EYE is a simple eye shaped transparent perspex disc featuring a number of concentric circles that can be used in the game of lawn bowls to accurately es mate the distance between the jack and surrounding bowls. At any me a er the first two bowls have been delivered, a team member or marker can use the tool to efficiently and accurately gauge the state of the head. Supplied with a protec ve microfibre sleeve in choice of colours. Law 23.3 (part of): Examples of equipment or objects which, when used during an end, would not be deemed to be in breach of law 23.3 include cross-fingers and devices comprising concentric circles within a t r a n s p a r e n t f r a m e w h i c h a r e h e l d approximately waist high, and equipment or objects (such as a player s foot) placed alongside or parallel to (but not directly between) the jack and the bowls. STEP 1 Posi on yourself over the head and hold the BOWLS EYE parallel to the ground with both hands using your thumb and index finger at either end, with your dominant eye look through the smallest inner circle of the device. STEP 2 Line up the inner circle with the Jack, moving the BOWLS EYE up and down un l the inner circle is fully centred on the Jack. Step 3 From this posi on assess the state of the head by using the outer concentric circles to easily gauge the posi on of the Jack in rela on to the bowls. FOR CLOSE ENDS At Step 2, lower the BOWLS EYE so the Jack fills up the two inner circles before gauging the head. FOR LONGER ENDS Where the nearest bowl is further than 400mm (approx.) from the jack. At Step 1, turn the BOWLS EYE 90* and instead hold the sides of the device, use the small circle at the end to gauge the distance. ARE WE ALL DYING ON OUR FEET? This ar cle appeared in an overseas newspaper it aims at golf, but it just as easily be applied to bowls have a read (Editor) It s just a sport, lads. Always remember that about golf. When they peg it up for the Bri sh Open next week, it can be a useful nugget to keep in mind. Not least if you need to fend off the crashing bore mansplaining you into calling it the Open Championship. Resist these dangerous fossils. These precious dweebs. These dreary fussbudgets. Just a sport, golf. Not a religion, not a holy text. Not sacred. Not special. Just a sport. Played by human beings, all of them made of the same venal, flawed scumbaggery as play every other sport on the planet. Golfers. Can t listen to them, can t wrap a hybrid around their polo necks. Never deliberately more than three sentences away from telling you something you already know. Forever taking outsized credit for a game that should be far more popular than it is. Never stopping to think that they might be the reason that one of the greatest sports ever conceived is dying on its feet. Every sta s c you see about golf these days makes for the sort of graph that causes a banker to tell the barman to leave the bo le. Par cipa on rates? Down. Viewership figures? Way down. Industry markers? Gone south. The world s biggest sports company built a two-decade campaign around the two most marketable golfers in history and s ll couldn t make the golf equipment game pay. And so golf, a sport which never considered itself a world-stage kind of player before Tiger came along and gave it no choice in the ma er, is carried along now by the belief systems of two dis nct fac ons. For every earnest worrier about golf s place among the na ons of the spor ng earth, there are clubhouses filled with old farts who are juuust fine with things the way they are. The upshot is that every a empt made to shave some of the more fusty edges off golf is met with resistance, confusion and o en barely-disguised contempt. Bigger holes, fewer rules, Golf Sixes, whatever else. Golf is St Augus ne s prayer adapted and updated, scrawled on a scorecard and pinned on the Hon Sec's no ceboard. Make me modern, Lord but not yet. Irish Times
