P�tanque - The greatest game you never heard of!

One person became a legend when he was on the winning Swedish team in the International North Sea Petanque Tournament in Oslo.

Harko Verhagen of Sweden became a legend when he was a part of the winning Swedish team at the INSPT in Oslo 24th to 26th of June 1999.

Harko is by birth Dutch, and has participated 3 times at the INSPT representing the Netherlands, in 1986, 87 and 89.

In 1987 the Netherlands won the INSPT in Shedfield, GBR, so in Oslo Harko was on the winning team for the second time, but this time for a different nation !

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 "P�tanque - The greatest game you never heard of!"
