Dear Members:

Our next tournament is at Regal Lanes on February 18th. 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. Lastly, you must bowl in 5 events, again excluding the Masters to be eligible for the Bowler of the Year prize list.

We had 98 members participate at Signature Lanes this month, prize fund was nearly $5,000. Thanks to Denver Anthony and his staff for hosting us this year. We had four 300’s shot: Mike English, Jason Utter, Rich Hughey and Ron Jonas. Ron also shot an 813 series and Randy Harvey converted the 7-10 split on his way to his 7th title.
