Bocce Ball

[PonderInc]

We had 4 dedicated players plus some extra TulsaNow folks who dropped by to say hello.

You wouldn't believe the rubbernecking!  Every time we looked up, people were gawking at us.  "Look!  People doing something interesting in a downtown park!...they seem to be laughing and having fun.  Is this allowed?"  

Nothing like people in their dress clothes throwing balls around to get folks attention, I guess.

It was a hoot.  Cannon Fodder stopped by long enough to tell us what to do with our balls.  (And to reinterate that his were heavier.)  (What is it about this game...and the way it makes some guys talk?)

If anyone wonders why there's now a deep footprint in the mud at the new park, I have no comment except to say that it's a wonder TulsaMini didn't lose a shoe!

I left several at the grand opening celebration, I'm surprised no-one lost a ball. I'm guessing they had to use a lot of heavy equipment to manuever the tree in and it will take awhile for everything to settle.

The balls they presented were of adequate size, by the density and impressiveness of their balls was much lesser than my own.  My balls are so heavy they surely would have destroyed the premises.    Seriously, I'd say each one of my balls is 4 lbs easy.  Sometimes, when my wife plays with them she has to take a break because it's a workout.  

True statements.  The bocce ball set I have is very heavy.

Wished I could have joined in.  My job would rule without clients doing stupid things in sometimes far flung places.  Assuming, of course, I would still get paid.

How about some Black Friday Bocce? Anyone?
