Bocce at Sunflower

Ms. Marie at the Head end of the Bocce Court

Ms. Marie in action

Marie taking aim at her opponent's ball (or the palina) 

Harold summing up the happenings as he watches his lady love play bocce

Bill getting ready to toss his bocce ball (the guys behind him are seasoned players here at the resort)

Bill playing Judge and Jury as he flags (the flagger makes the call on who gets the points). The red flag means that the red team is up to throw their ball because the green one is closest to the palina

Jo tossing her bocce ball 

Can you guess who gets the point for being closest to the palina (little white ball)? You would be surprised how deceiving it is. You actually have to stand over the palina sometimes to determine which ball is closer

Sometimes the flagger asks for help from his opponents and teammates to make a decision because they are sooooooo close

Marie sizing up the situation here

Just haviing fun

Game Over -- Everyone congratulates each other on good playing (really great sportsmanship here)
