11 INTERCLUB • VOLUME 28, ISSUE 2 - 2022 REACHING CLUBS SINCE 1995 The Club is open 6 days per week, from Tuesday to Sunday inclusive - ( Above Image ) Fantail Room. c l u b l i f e : T a r a d a l e C l u b TIGER TURF Over the past 6 years the Taradale Club has replaced both its All-Weather Outdoor Bowling Greens, using Tiger Turf materials and workmanship. Lloyd says the have been great to work with. "Our members have been very pleased with the two new greens supplied & laid by TT, with the most recent of these, coming into playing use in February of this year." Work had commenced in the Winter of 2021, with a scheduled completion date of late August last year. Covid put a halt to all work when Auckland went into lockdown, with the TT workforce all being Auckland based & unable to “ get out of jail.” "Despite several months delay because of this their team started work again early in the New Year & completed the task by early February. Again TT went out of their way to get onto our job & get it completed as soon as possible and we record our sincere thanks to them for that. "Our 2021/22 Championships were well underway by September & with the large Bowls membership we have, approximately 160 members, it is very difficult to host these and other bowls events with only one green." The new green will be officially opened at the start of our 22/23 season on 3 September. "Those who have played on it to date have no hesitation in labelling it as the truest green in Hawkes Bay, we are proud of that!" January 2022 Wedding reception in the Weka Room.

Lawn bowls is a skilful and challenging sport. It is as much a mental sport as it is a skills-based sport, requiring tactical mastery and technical diversity. Concentration, focus, calmness, self-assurance, commitment, consistency; these are all qualities demonstrated by a champion bowler. But a bowler can only develop these qualities and technical skills on a top quality, completely flat and level playing surface with a predictable green speed. The surface of the green strongly influences the standard of play and on the placing of the bowls. The technical qualities of the green itself can be used effectively by skilful bowlers.
