Once again we had one member roll a
5-point frame: Five-point frames are not
easy to achieve as the competition keeps
getting stronger. Congratulations go out
to Steve Mellinger for his great score!
Bocce Fact of the Month:
Five Court
Lines are marked on the edges of the
court. One line indicates the mid-point
of the court. The pallino must pass this
line when it is tossed at the start of each
frame. Two lines are marked at each
end of the court. The line closest to the
end is the foul line. Players must remain
behind the foul line when tossing the
pallino and the bocce balls. The line be-
tween the foul line and the mid-point is
the loft line. Bocce balls may not be in
the air beyond the loft line.
