Adjustments to play in cold weather
Kevin, How about a video about playing in cold weather? It’s starting to get chilly in Santa Fe. After a short time on the piste, the boules are cold enough to leach all the heat from one’s fingers and hand. Any suggestions on how to maintain good feeling in the hand?
Source for cochonnets
I have two needs for cochonnets. We just started the New Mexico Pétanque Club. I would like to buy like 100 cochonnets with our club logo to hand out to members and out-of-town visitors. Also, I want about ten for personal use, but I would like to get them for less than $2.50 apiece from Petanque America. Any suggestions?

@Kevin ORourke Thanks for suggestion. The cost for shipping to US and the irrational tariffs would be a problem. Thanks for all your efforts to promote pétanque and skill improvement.

@Deryck Smith $2.50 each. That may be my best option. Thanks
Late start
If I had a time machine, I’d go back 70 years and start playing pétanque at age 6 rather than 72.

@Kevin ORourke My dream. I had a newspaper route as a teenager and tossed thousands of papers onto porches. Later I played golf for years and learned to “read” a green. I believe these experiences have helped me in my pétanque journey.
Would you be interested in a LIVE YouTube video
I created this little video today after last nights get together and it got me thinking that it might be fun to do a LIVE version tomorrow. Please watch and let me know if you think this would be good value to you as a player and I’ll set up a LIVE for tomorrow evening Serious About Pétanque?

I would like to see more of these explanatory tactic discussions. I’m in New Mexico so probably won’t be able to watch live. On another topic, when watching yt videos of tournament play, I am frustrated when the ref issues a yellow card, but I can’t figure out why. The commentary in French may explain it, but it goes by so fast, I can’t decipher it or manage to get a translation.
