A Yardstick tournament is a variation of lawn bowls where every bowl finishing within one yard of the jack scores a point. Unlike traditional lawn bowls, both teams can score on the same end, often resulting in much higher scores.
Bowlers played three games throughout the day, with teams randomly redrawn before each game. Individual players accumulated the points earned by their teams over the three games to determine the overall champions. As a unique tournament tradition, all prize winners received a one-metre stick signed by every participant.
In the women's competition, Pat Ferrier claimed the championship, followed by Barb Moll in second place and Linda Bower in third.
Mike Gilchrist captured the men's title. Wes Bresee and Denis Ethier tied for second place, while Doug Sanregret earned the third-place metre stick.
The annual WellTraxx Yardstick Tournament continues to be one of the club's most popular fun events, combining friendly competition with a unique twist on the game of lawn bowls.
