Our next tournament is at Casey’s Lanes in LaPorte, IN. This is the last chance for those of you who need a 4th event to qualify for the Championship in May without having to pay any additional entry fee. If you have bowled every event you will get a $20 discount. Entries to this tournament will be limited to the first 108 entries. Starting time is 9:30 CDT. Preliminary sportsmanship balloting will also be done at this event.
We had an even 86 bowlers compete at Country Club Lanes, $4480 in prize money. Thanks Graham and Bob Snyder of American Family Insurance for sponsoring this event. We’d also like to thank Chuck Wilson and David Claxton for hosting us again this year. Ted Zimmerman had the tournament’s high game with 300 and Todd Brown won his 4th title.
