Dear Members:

Our next tournament is at Country Club Lanes in Elkhart. Please check in on time, 8:45 if you are paying that morning and 9:00 if you are prepaid. Keep in mind that if you wish to bowl in the Championship tournament in May you must bowl in 4 other events, excluding the Masters, between September and April. If you haven’t bowled in 4 other events then you can still enter by paying an increased entry fee. If you have bowled in every event your entry fee will be discounted.

We had 94 bowlers compete for almost $5,000. Special thanks to David Schoen’s Pro Shop for sponsoring us this month. Thanks also go to Kathy Ragla and her staff for hosting us again this year. Billy Hendrixson had the tournament’s high game with 300. Chris Robben won his first title, moving through the field from the 12th seed position.
