Top Five things new players to the Petanque game may get wrong Part 5 Where the boule lands. This is the Landing Spot. This session draws the attention to the most sought after place in the country for us boule players. No, not the Bar, but the landing area! Many players get bad kicks when their boule land on large stones on the surface or a brick level with the surface and look skyward as if some evil boule god is wreaking revenge for past sins. It is a simple matter of phys

Top Five things new players to the Petanque game may get wrong Part 4 The jack is the target and the closer the better. WRONG! Many new players are obsessed with the jack and it tends to rule the early days of playing. However you need to think on your feet when playing experienced players as the jack is the lightest thing in the head and can move very easily on purpose or by mistake. If the jack moves, the scoring area moves with it, of course it does! This means you can mov

Five things new players to the Petanque game may get wrong Part 3 Always play their last boule New players seem to always throw all their boule without thought to the consequences. In the past I have been 8 nil up against a fairly new team. On a lightning fast pitch I placed my last boule 6 inches in front of the jack.

One of the major questions we get asked are “How do you know who’s boule is who’s?” It can be a common question for players who have been playing for years. Think the wrong boule is yours and you could get into serious diffic

Merry Christmas everyone!

Five things new players to the game get wrong Part 1 Stand in the wrong place!   Where to stand! Come on and join in the fun. The game of petanque can ebb and flow in all directions. That’s the fun of the game, but, a lot of new players miss out on the fun because they are in the cheap seats. Many will stand behind the circle waiting to throw their boule. Once they have played their boule they will then wander up to have a look at the head. I know it is a lot of walking about

Petanque. A new vision to introduce new players. Part 3, I can remember the early days of playing petanque at a competitive level. Turning up at pubs and entering a competition. It was a bit of a baptism of fire all those years ago. Playing against experienced players was a bit daunting and making the main competition after the morning rounds was a distant dream. However I used these games to learn. Why did some players stand where they stood? Why did they not speak to you ap
