On Saturday Night and after the Social Tournament held at the Sarasota Club de Petanque we celebrating by having a Great Prime Rib Dinner at the Park's grounds. All I can Say is that it was a Feast cooked by Club Member and Chef Christian Bousquet.

After the Dinner the Drawing was held for the Teams Participating in the National Triples Tournament. Great Success and Fun for All.

It's not only about the Game

Petanque in the USA.
After a hard Day of Competition it's nothing better than to get together with Friends and share some time to remember for years to come and tell some of the stories of years past .
Where else will you find such a diverse GROUP, sharing a common interest from different backgrounds, Race, Religions and Languages.
In the last Couple of Years I have met so many new Friends all over the US that I will never forget thanks to the many pictures I have taken and for that I say, THANK YOU!

SFPC - Triplette Tournament

This was just a Wonderful Day of Petanque when Mario and I left Miami for Lakeworth for 10 hours of our Favorite Game to Participate on a Triples Tournament. The weather was Great even though it rain for about five minutes, there was a lot of people and the competition was though. After the Tournament was over we played an extra 4 to 5 games and ended up at around 6:00 PM when the Sun was coming down.
We are always thankful to Armand and the whole Club for receiving us with open arms every time, we actually drive about 70 miles each way to Play.
