Cathy, Sue, Mike, & Larry Visit the Club

The Michigan Petanque Club had a splendid day of boule with Cathy & Mike; and Sue & Larry playing extremely well for what is veritably their first time playing. I noticed that Larry's playing was almost too good, so the club will have to keep a watchful eye on this possible "ringer." Sue pointed her boules with an expert eye for the terrain - and we owe many points to her "getting the close boule." Cathy often led her team in pointing, and with good reason, she showed us (and especially Mike) who hefts the strong arm (for Petanque). Now Mike, I must say, has the exact character our club needs, he points well, and has shot well, but the exuberance with which he comments during the match puts everyone in good spirits. I'm excited to see the "Petanque Trash Talking" that goes on when he meets up with Ken, Joe, and Roland. We also had the Detroit Free Press come to visit us today. There was extensive interest from Mr. Snyder - perhaps we can enlist him in the club as well - and we look forward to reading his article to be published soon. All in all, a great day for the club - everyone had fun.
