Bocce Fact of the Month:
There are
basically three game strategies: (1) roll
your bocce ball closer to the pallino than
that of the opposition; (2) knock the op-
position’s bocce ball out of its position; or
(3) slam the pallino away from the bocce
balls. The latter option may result in a
no-score for that frame. Remember that
the bocce ball must be within 36 inches
of the pallino to score but no score for
