Bocce Ball

[Conan71]

Any idea if any of the large sports retailers in town carry quality bocce sets?  My friends gave away an Eddie Bauer bocce set to the overall winner on Sunday.  That was pretty cool.

I picked mine up at Target though I wouldn't exactly call it quality.  I think I recall seeing an Eddie Bauer set there.  With that said, I've had mine for at least 5 years so I'm not exactly current on Bocce supply.




Sooo?  Who's up for a TulsaNow Bocce tourny?  How about a $20 entry fee to support TulsaNow or some other cause like RiverParks or to the organization of choice?

Spontaneous Acts of Bocce!

When: Thurs, Nov 13, 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM
Where: The new Centennial Green Park Thing, Downtown at 6th and Main

If you have a set of bocce balls, bring them.  A couple of us will be there, and we'll bring two sets of balls.  Whoever shows up is welcome to join in and play.  If you don't want to play, come to cheer, jeer, chew the fat, or whatever.

Weather should be perfect.  See you there.

[we vs us]

Damn.  Can we try on a weekend sometime?  I'd be all up in that if the timing was better.

[TURobY]

Sounds pretty cool. I'd be up for a weekend sometime. Might bring a little life to downtown during the weekend days...

[PonderInc]

This one's going to happen tomorrow (even if just a few of us show up), but there's no reason why we can't do the next one on a weekend.

If only I worked downtown.  I play a mean game of bocce and have the heavy set of balls.  One handed sports (and hence one free for beer) are kind of my thing.

I have the same set of those. But for sports, I can easily use two hands with mine. Fortunately I dont drink beer.

From the TN Newsletter:


Spontaneous Acts of Bocce – Thurs, 11/13
Take one new downtown greenspace, add a couple sets of bocce balls, some gorgeous autumn weather, and a last-minute invitation. What do you get? We have no idea, but we hope you'll join us for a Spontaneous Act of Bocce! At least a handful of TulsaNow folks will be there to challenge each other to a completely incompetent, unofficial, non-competitive, we're-not-even-totally-sure-of-the-rules game of bocce. Just like the Italians play, except without the skills or the wine.

Stop by to play, say howdy, or just to kibitz.

WHAT: Spontaneous Acts of Bocce
WHEN: Thurs, 11/13, 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM
WHERE: The new Centennial Green Park, downtown at 6th and Main
MORE INFO: If you show up, we'll see you there!

[Townsend]

How'd it go?  Get any audience?
