As we have readers from all over the world, and quite a few of them are only interested in petanque, and not local issues in the USA or any other place we have set up a new forum for petanque in the USA aptly named American Petanque Soapbox.
All new postings on this subject should be made in this new forum. This will make it easier for people looking for general petanque-related info to get their answers fast, and it will also give the FPUS-crowd a place to call their own.

And remember: Be friendly on the forum!

If you area true francophile you will need this. OBUT has in their wisdom created a "Tour de France" Boule set. Mais Oui!
On Sunday 19 February 2012, I shot a boule and it made a metallic ping and broke perfectly in half when my bloues hit it. It seems that there had been a crack in the boules that had allowed some water to corrode the weakness. Is is a JB competition boule.
Byron Putman discovered petanque some two years ago and fell in love, head over heels. Then decided to analyze every angle of the game, including its development in the USA. He started clubs in Palm Springs, CA and in Lake Oswego, OR. And wrote a book about it, aptly named "Pétanque - The greatest game you never heard of!"
