I should write more often, but it's been cold. We should have more teams signed up by now, but it's been cold. We should have more members joining the FLBA, but it's been cold. Yes it has been cold and that's as good an excuse as any but to be honest we've done most everything we can think of to get the word out but not much results so far. Maybe the fact that it did snow yesterday really is having an impact on getting the Bocce Fever fired up.
This time last year we were out on the golf course with temps in the 70's getting warmed up for our May Golf League. We didn't have Bocce last year at this time because the courts hadn't even been started. Maybe what we need is a blast of warm breezes to get the Bocce blood flowing.
I must say however, that I got an email this morning from someone signing up a team of six for Monday night. Maybe that will stir a few more into getting into gear and sending me their signups and checks.
I want to tell you though I certainly ran across a bunch of new Bocce enthusiast Thursday evening as students signed up for the UW Mini Course on Bocce actually showed up in their winter coats with temps hovering at 36-38 degrees and 15-20 MPH winds to learn how to play Bocce. Not exactly the dress attire you would normally see on the courts but it was suitable for the weather. Once again the Bocce fever took hold and within minutes of starting play they were hopping and hollering it up on the ole' oyster shell surface. That proves it folk's, no matter what the temp, Bocce is a game that brings out the fun and good times. Look out Curling! There's a new Winter sport in town.
