March 4th, 2007Warm Dec. Weekend Allows for a Little Petanque
December 17th, 2006
The unseasonably warm weather here in Kentucky allows for some last chance Petanque before the close of 2006. A great opportunity to try out our shiny new boules.
Joyeux Noël et Bonne Année !

Petanque Louisville in the Chicago Tribune
October 18th, 2006
In this past sunday’s edition of the Chicago Tribune, Mr. Patrick Kampert, who covered the Midwest Alliance Doublette Tournament a couple of weeks ago, wrote a very nice article about Petanque entitled “The old boule game – petanque, bocce’s French cousin, gets first area tournament.” Our thanks to Mr. Kampert for covering the tournament and for including us in the article.
UPDATE: It appears that the Tribune now requires you to register with them before you can read the archived article. Fortunately, it’s a free registration.

Chicago – Petanque Tournament
September 22nd, 2006We’re in Chicago (Oak Park, IL) for the doublettes tournament. We’ll keep you posted.
UPDATE: Unfortunately, rain delayed the tournament twice. First, for only a couple of hours. Then the rest of the afternoon. Sadly, we couldn’t stay through sunday to finish the qualification round. We had a great time despite the rain. We enjoyed meeting all of the talented boulistes from Chicago and Michigan, and look forward to playing together again sometime soon. Say in Louisville. See you soon.

A game with The Alliance Française of Louisville
September 10th, 2006I just returned from a delightful picnic of food and petanque with Alliance Francaise of Louisville and others. This was PL’s first membership campaign. I had a blast and I look forward to hearing back from Guy, Michel, Olivier and others.
The results: Our team won the first. Their team won the second. An even draw.
So, there should be a rematch. Let’s make a date.
