Meet Jack

He likes some friendly competition (the friendlier, the better)

When Jack moved to Bethanie, several years ago, he’d never played a game of bowls. Now, he’s a serious player (and on the putt putt course too). It’s been a great way to make friends. They’ve given him some handy tips on his game, while he’s been giving some charming banter, now and then. And while they’re serious about their bowls, they’re even more serious about having fun.
