Lawn Prawn Infestation at the Mudgee Bowling Club
Like most important events, the Mudgee - Gulgong Mixed Doubles Pennant was cancelled due to Covid in 2020, and then again in 2021. With so much riding on the 2022 event, bowlers were devastated when greens at the Mudgee Bowling Club became infested with lawn prawns.
But, as Gulgong club stalwart Tucker Read puts it, "If there's anything that unites Australians, it's hardship, or maybe seafood."
"Technically speaking, lawn prawns aren't actually seafood because they grow in the lawn and not the sea. But you know what I mean and you know that Australians aren't a nation of thinkers, we're a nation of doers. Nations of doers don't sit around in trenches arguing the classification of various food stuffs, they're happy to jump out and run into a machine gun with their mates."
"When the Mixed Doubles Pennant was cancelled for the third year in a row, a lot of us realised that people from Mudgee and Gulgong aren't all that different from one another after all. We have the same dreams and hopes, we all love our families, and we love pulling on the whites and having a roll."
"If the world gives you prawns - make cocktails!"
