FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | MARCH 2019 55 Ladies Putters Group The Ladies Putters Group got off to a good start this year. The group participated in the Four Seasons Clubs and Committees Fair in January. Judy Irving, LPG president, spearheaded the group's preparation for this event and members were also at the fair, to answer any questions and sign up interested residents. The LPG had a putting green set up in the Ballroom, complete with putters and balls, for anyone who wanted to try their hand at some putting. Prizes were given to residents who made a hole in one on the putting green. The Clubs and Committees day was a terrific success for all the groups involved. It was a great way to see all the activities Four Seasons has to offer and all in one place, at one time. If you are interested in becoming a member of the Ladies Putters Group, or just want additional information, you can find sign-up sheets at The Lodge, The Summit and The Courts. You many also contact Judy Irving at (951) 922-2525. ~ Vivian Walker Jackie Morris, Linda Gaylor and Judy Irving at the Clubs and Committees Fair Vivian Walker almost made it Bocce ball is played at The Summit, 9 am Tuesdays, 3 pm on both Wednesdays and Fridays. Everyone is welcome. Play is on beautiful, tournament-grade, smooth, accurate courts and sideboards. Easy small step-in and ramps for wheel chairs or scooters. Smooth concrete surrounds courts. The word "bocce" comes from an Italian word which is plural, meaning "to bowl." The small white ball, the pallino, is thrown first to start game. Rules are very simple. Get your ball as close to the pallino as possible in order to score a point. If more balls of same color get closer, these additionally score points. Much like pool, bocce requires players to take turns. This makes it an ideal game for socializing in between turns. Often cheers or laughter can be heard. No one has an edge in bocce ball unless of course they have played for years. We generally play games to 12 points. Two games are played and take approximately 1-1/2 hours. First court winners stay and are challenged on second game by winners from the second court. We mix and match so no team is expert, and we change numbers on a team so no one is left out. The game of bocce ball requires no specific skills or previous experience. You will get a little exercise and enjoy a beautiful view and breezes at The Summit all while having a great time with a great group of people. If you are interested in learning the game, please join us at The Summit.
