FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | JULY 2018 61 Bocce Ball Club members who competed and placed in our June 27 tournament will be announced and given trophies at the Fourth of July celebration at the Lodge. Summer Bocce Ball is played at The Summit. 9 am Tuesday, 5:30 pm both Wednesdays and Fridays. Two New umbrellas are available. With even later summer hours they are not always opened. Everyone is welcome. Play is on beautiful tournament grade smooth accurate courts and sideboards. Easy small step-in. Smooth concrete surrounds courts. The word "bocce" comes from Italian word which is plural, means "to bowl." The small white ball is thrown first to start game, called pallino. 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 closest get close, 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 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. Questions?
