RE-REINTRODUCTION: LACHLAN TIGHE

In October 2006, after writing 200 weekly bowls coaching columns commencing in 2000, and coaching gold medals at both the 2002 and 2006 Commonwealth Games, Lachlan decided to put away the pen.

In the period October 2006 to January 2008 his coaching record continued: 2007 Australian Open women's singles, 2007 World Women's Indoor Singles and last week the 2008 World Championship men's singles.

Now refreshed with a full cartridge of ink, Lachlan has opted to put pen to paper again, though only monthly, for the viewing and discussion with us bowlers. Two things prompted him he says the noticeable absence of relevant coaching accepted at club level, and, his own preparation of a bowls coaching book aimed to appear late in 2008 titled Shots Up a new look at winning in lawn bowls.
