Our own Ginger Hatfield was entertainment at last year's Ladies Day Holiday Luncheon and Bowl at Laguna Woods.

The Southwest Division Bowls Winter League begins Saturday, December 1, 2018. Laguna Beach will be sponsoring Gold and Silver teams. 

• Gold teams are for those who have been on winning Winter League teams in the past or are tournament bowlers.
  
• Silver teams are for those members new to tournament play or who are less experienced bowlers. 

This year we tentatively have 3 Gold Teams, 1 Silver Team and a total of 7 substitutes. 

* Note: These teams may still be altered due to scheduling issues.

Games are played on Saturdays. The matches start Dec 1 and are played weekly on Saturdays until Feb 1. Because of the tight time frame of the league, games should only be rescheduled because of rain. They cannot be rescheduled because of player unavailability. Teams would need to ensure that they have sufficient back up players able to fill in as necessary. If clubs would prefer to play the match during the week or on Sunday it is alright if both clubs can agree to a change. Playing on Saturday is not mandatory except for the playoffs.

Generally, 6-7 players are needed to support a 4-person team (illness or injury, vacations etc.). There must be at least 4 people signed up on each team’s roster. Only players on the roster can be skips or participate in singles matches.

Substitutes cannot be skips or play singles. Silver team members can also substitute for a club’s Gold team. Substitutes can be made between the morning and afternoon games. 

The format for the games is pairs in the morning session and triples and singles in the afternoon session. Typically the 4 bowlers are the same for morning and afternoon sessions, but it doesn’t have to be that way. The bottom line is that a team must provide 4 bowlers per session.

Announcing the Vet / Novice Triples

• Sunday March 29th at 9:00 AM
• Check in by 8:30 AM, 
• Announcements at 8:45 AM

Since there will be on-going repair to the greens we will be limiting teams to a total of 14. Registration will close as soon as the teams have filled, we can have no fewer than 14 novices, one per team. This will be a blind draw event. 

There will be three ten end games. Each team must be made up with at least one veteran, novices may not play the position of skip. If there are not enough vets a preference will be given to novices who have played for more than one year, to play the position of vice.
