700 series earns Ed Troicke the top spot!

Congratulations to ED TROICKE who earned Bowler-of-the-Week honors with 255-700!

Other top bowlers included ...

• Brian Gawlowski 213
• Jack Fitzpatrick 243
• Kay Gawlowski 162
• Liz Pratt 232-589
• Matt Hoyt 234-648
• Freddie Wedro 173
• Ted Hudson 208-601
• Lynne Weir 207-574
• Josh Kendall 235-628
• Rebecca Hoyt 190
• Ken Comtois 234-607

There was no clowning around tonight as Ed and several of his fellow bowlers had some great scores!  And because of these scores, there was some movement in team placements after the first Position Round of the season! Matt's Team now sits above Jack's Team by one point.  Lynne's team sits comfortably in the third spot with Jim Wedro's Team and Ted's Team tied for fourth place.  Ken's Team still sits in the bottom spot, but surely should be able to move a place or two before the end of the first half.  You can view the standing sheets yourself by clicking HERE!

Unfortunately, Richard had to step down from his place on Ted's Team so that leaves us with two open spots again.  There is word that there are friends of Ted, Alice and Mary who are looking to join the league, so let's all say a quick prayer that we can fill these spots in the next few weeks.

Not much more to report tonight.  Hope you all have a safe Halloween!  See you next week!

Liz Pratt Earns Bowler of the Week with 713!

Congratulations to LIZ PRATT - our bowler of the week. Liz shot 267-713 to take the top honors this week!

What an achievement for Liz this week!! She was smooth to the line, relaxed and most definitely in the zone! We are so proud of her!

Other top bowlers this week include:

• Josh Kendall 216-603
• Jim Wedro 195-594
• Freddie Wedro 160
• Ted Hudson 224-623
• Ken Comtois 201
• Charlie Magee 198-526
• Jack Fitzpatrick 245-654

Some sad news to report, Henry and Denise have decided that bowling this year isn't going to work for them, so they had to leave the league.  We hope that they will consider joining us again next fall.  Since both of them were on the same team, it left Jim Wedro and Josh with two openings.  Luckily, Ed Troicke has decided to join the league and will fill one of those openings. We would like to get a bowler into that last spot as quickly as possible, so please speak to family and friends about coming aboard and joining us for fun-filled Saturday evening bowling!

Coming up next week - our first position night.  Jack's team is just one point ahead of Matt's team so they will be bowling against each other again. Lynne's team faces off with Ted's team to solidify the third place tie and Ken's team will bowl Jim Wedro's team to finish out the last two spots.  Good luck to everyone!

That's all to report!  Have a great week and see you again on Saturday night!

After six weeks of bowling, we are all starting to get used to the lane conditions and bowling in a new house.  We are beginning to see close, nail biter games and some total smatherings.

The first three places are separated by just one point over the other with the bottom three places struggling to get some wins.  Things will all start to even out after the first place round coming up in just two weeks!

There are also only four more weeks until many of us will be placed in a division.  As bowlers reach the 10 week mark (or 30 games), you will be put into a division that you will continue to compete for individual prizes like HIGH SCRATCH SINGLE, HIGH SCRATCH SERIES, and HIGH AVERAGE. There will be four (4) divisions this season as noted in an earlier post.

Team prizes will be awarded to the top three HIGH TEAM SCRATCH GAME and HIGH TEAM SCRATCH SERIES place holders.  

Individual prizes and team prizes will based on the entire 32 week season. Team Placement prizes for first through sixth places will be awarded for both halves. 

We will also award prize money for Most Improved Average (after 21 games) for both men and women.

Upcoming Birthday wishes to ... DENISE DEERFIELD on the 22nd!

Ted Hudson Locks In Bowler-of-the-Week with 672!

Congratulations to TED HUDSON, this week's top bowler!  Ted shot 236-672 to take the number one seat this week!

Other top bowlers: Henry Schindler 164, Josh Kendall 243, Audrey Wright 169, Kay Gawlowski 134, Liz Pratt 208, Matt Hoyt 258-628, Jim Weir 219, and Rebecca Hoyt 154-466.

We started the night with a short meeting about a couple of issues.  One being a reminder about being ready to bowl when it is your turn.  Whether it is due to chit chat, cell phone usage, smoking mid-game, and the like, we ask each of you to be mindful of the other players and be on time when it is your turn.

We also discussed the mid-season holiday party.  We decided that each bowler will contribute $5 to the party and the remainder of the cost will be covered by 50/50 dividends. A win-win situation all around. As always, guests will be welcome at the cost of $10 each.  We will also provide our own desserts (holiday sweets).  Lorrie McLaughlin will be passing a list around at the beginning of December if you will be bringing a goodie to share.

Now that we have a "solid" 24 bowlers, we have six 4-person teams.  Should we get new bowlers over the course of the first half, we will decide what will be the best for the league at that time.  It may involve adding teams or adding to the current teams.

If you ever have any questions about anything that is brought up here or during league play, please feel free to speak with any of the officers.  They are... President - Jack Fitzpatrick, Vice President - Ken Comtois, Treasurer - Jim Weir, Secretary - Julie Lind, and Sargent at Arms - Audrey Wright.  Remember, we are always here to help!

We are all starting to read the lane conditions a little better and making good adjustments so I predict that the scores will slowly and surely begin to rise. Jeff Lind and Ed Troicke are still pacing with the league and hopefully we will be able to add them to the roster soon.

Coming up this Saturday we will be having a quick meeting about the Christmas Party.  I know it seems early, but we would rather have set plans than get all caught off guard and crazily make plans.

There has been some chatter on the lanes about how long it is taking some teams to complete three games within a reasonable amount of time.  We will be taking suggestions about how we can alleviate these late finish times at this meeting as well.

We are seeing a great response to the 50/50 this year averaging between $15 and $20 per week in extra sales causing this "pot" to pay out some really nice dividends.  We hope you will continue to support this mini-fundraiser (and take a chance at winning some extra cash) so we will be able to use it for special occasions during the season as well as add some extra dollars to the end of the season prize fund.

Also, most of you are being good about paying a quarter for each open 5th frame.  The money we collect from this "penalty" also goes into our prize fund. So please remember, if you miss in the fifth frame - please pay your quarter!

That's all for this week.  Sorry I posted so late this week.  I was so bushed on Saturday night after my stellar bowling (314, lol) that I set it aside and didn't remember to get all this good info on line!!  See you on Saturday!!
