Shirley and I try to play at our Greensboro venue most Wednesdays as it is our closest-to-home venue other than Winston-Salem.

5/17/2026 Piedmont Plus Senior Games

 

 

Although we had 27 players participating this year in the Petanque event, and awards were given in both male and female divisions, further separated into various age groups, we play our game most often with teams that disregard gender & age,

So the panache mixed all participants together when randomly forming teams.

Shown above are the top-ten finishers overall. Congratulations to Scott Seifer for his number one finish!

Thanks to all for participating in our just-for-fun competition!

Wednesday morning play in Greensboro continues to draw good crowds. Cool morning starts, followed by warming as play goes on, are just about perfect this time of year.
