Winter and Bowls in Milwaukee, WI
Winter in Milwaukee, WI invariably arrives with its snow and sub-freezing temperatures. Our greens typically take a rest and some of our bowlers pursue other activities, like curling.
Our members gather for an annual potluck dinner, which helps keep us connected until the warmer weather arrives.
One of our members (Bob Schneider) just couldn’t stay away from the greens though, and took it upon himself to shovel a rink to get in some additional practice. Crazy!
