Bocce at the home of Gary Arnstein (San Anselmo, CA) |
 These great photos were submitted by Gary Arnstein. They highlight his beautiful home court in San Anselmo, California. |
 Arnstein's beautiful court was "carved into a hillside." The court is 59.5 feet x 13 feet and the side walls, retaining walls and deck is constructed with epi. |
 This shot gives you a feel for how the court was "carved into the hillside." |
 Scoreboard goes to 12 - the most common winning score in American, open rules bocce. |
 The court was made with oyster shell and clay and topped with oyster flour. |
 Says Arnstein, "The court features a kinetic sculpture that has a definite Bocce feel to it." |
 Arnstein: "I was the general contractor for the project and David Brewer was helpful in advising me." {Looks like they know what they're doing! - Click the photo to visit Bocce Court Builder David Brewer's web site.} |

 Great shot! |

Home sweet home - "Our house is mid-century modern built in 1959 by a student of Frank Lloyd Wright and the bocce court and stone steps down to it is quite a contrast between the old and new world." |

 "The court is 59.5 feet x 13 feet and the side walls, retaining walls and deck is constructed with epi. The court was carved into a hillside so we overdid it using 4 x 6 posts every 3 feet." |
