In any Club Singles Championship be ready to do your share of marking; don't let "Dennis" do it all. As Marking is to be done for you; you should do it for others. If marking a match in which a friend is playing, the marker must be absolutely impartial, must not applaud any shot, must not wriggle their body as the bowl of their friend wicks in or just misses a trail, or give any advice to either player, except to answer questions accurately and concisely. A good marker is not only an asset to a club, but they add considerably to the enjoyment of the game by players and spectators alike, and the pity of it is that there are so few about.
