David Mann from Melbourne Bowling Club is the 2019 Grand Master.
The Club’s signature tournament again proved a big hit with all the players, who came from far and wide to compete for the $4000 in prize money, representing over 30 Clubs. Many have already placed an order to be included for next year. Special thanks must go out to Jack Lawton and Kevin Pattison for organising this year’s event, along with our fabulous kitchen team of Helen Blee, Marilyn Pattison, Karin Harber, Pam Donaldson and Pam Ryder, who spoiled the players with scrumptious meals and fast friendly service. Thanks to Daniel Butler for running the bar, and as always, we’d like to acknowledge Lee Schraner (creator) and David Crook (software developer) for their vision in creating this unique tournament
