So, today, we’re very near Worthing. It brought back so many happy memories of pre-Leamington days!!

WHAT DID I ANSWER TO THIS EMAIL I RECEIVED TODAY?:
“Hi Greg I’ve enjoyed Unlocking the Dark Arts and I have a question:
How do you keep 3 years plus bowlers motivated to keep attending coaching courses?”
Message me and I’ll tell you what I replied.

DEFINING “GETTING CLOSE”
Much is made of getting your first two bowls close, in any form of the game.
To me “close” is within the “scoring zone” - i.e. a radius of 2 feet from the jack.

There are some people that it’s a pleasure to lose to!!! Losing to Colin Jacox in the County Singles 21-18, after a cracking game last night, was one of those times. We’ve been bowls’ partners for over 30 years and every game against each other is nip-and-tuck. Go Jakie!!!!!

THE GREG GRIP IN SHORT

Thumb and little finger in the grips;
Two longest fingers on the running surface;
Peter Pointer (index finger) on the rings, just below the grip.

SOME VERY ENCOURAGING FEEDBACK ON THE “GREG GRIP”:
I spotted your Greg’s grip post on the page I admin for my bowls club. Today I gave it a red hot crack with my XG’s on my club’s 2nd green that runs about 15-16 seconds. I did take to it rather quickly and got some great consistency out of the hand and at the head. I’ve recently ordered a set of Drakes Pride Conquest size 4 so I’ll be interested in how that grip will work with them.

A bumper day for book sales today! One off to South Africa as a PDF; 3 off to Cambridgeshire; and 1 collected in person by a Coventry bowler.

FOR THOSE OUTSIDE THE UK WE NOW HAVE A PDF VERSION OF UNLOCKING THE DARK ARTS. Please Message me, or email me at [email protected] if you’re interested. Thank you.

IT’S GREAT TO GET FEEDBACK LIKE THIS ABOUT UNLOCKING THE DARK ARTS: “I have read a borrowed copy of your excellent book and would like to buy my own copy. Do you still have any in stock?” WELL YES WE DO! And we also now have it in PDF format for foreign sales, or for anyone who would prefer this format. Just email me at [email protected].

“UNLOCKING THE DARK ARTS” HAS GONE GLOBAL!!!
We’ve sold a copy to South Africa!! Now I just need to work out how to get it there. 🤔
