The 75th annual Women’s City Tournament will be held at Bulan’s Bowl on Sunday Nov 6, at 11am. Entry forms can be obtained at both Bulan’s and Lincoln Lanes.
I know of at least 10 area senior bowlers that will be competing in this year’s state tournament in Elgin on Nov 12 and Nov 13 at Elgin Lanes. It consists of singles and doubles competition.
Still looking for a league to join? Look no further, as the Monday nite Church No-Tap league is looking for about 2 more teams. They bowl each Monday at 6:30pm in the Lincoln Lanes Annex.
The Ladies League at the Westville Legion’s bowling center had Nicole Waterman picking up the 5-7 split last Tuesday morning. In the Senior League, Stan Harvey rolled 56 pins over his game average, and Donna Berlin picked up the 5-10 split. Phil Stultz converted the 5-6-10, while Martha Elliott knocked out the 7-8.
Tuesday Nite Go-Getters, Charlie Tiffin rolled 81 pins over his average with a 206. Need the 3-10 split picked up, well, don’t call Ghostbusters, call Mac McDaniel as he converted that split twice while Gerald Arnett picked it up once. Houston Key picked up the 5-7-9. Concluding this week’s reports with the Monday Nite Church No Tap league Mike Jett rolled a high of 276, which was 96 pins over his 180 average. He had some strong competition though, Sue Strong that is, 265 and a 251 to help her attain a 709 series. Other bowlers were Joe Davis who topped out with a 270, 69 pins over his 201 average. Terry Jones was 96 pins over his 178 average with a 234, while Brad Wheeler totaled 83 over 139 for a 222. Lynnse Gondzur rolled 70 pins over their 132 average with a 202, while Karen Lane garnered a 176. She has a 114 average, so she rolled 62 pins over.
Let’s get back to our rule of the week. We have been talking about ball specifications.
SURFACE: The surface of the ball shall be free of all depressions or grooves of specific pattern, except for holes or indentations used for gripping the ball, identification lettering and numbers, and incidental chipping or marking caused by wear. Engraved pictures, logos, and/or designs from the manufacturer are not considered grooves of specific pattern. No foreign material may be placed on the outer surface of the ball. If the surface friction of the ball is altered by sanding or polishing, the entire surface of the ball must be sanded or polished in the same manner. Plugs, grips, and/or tape may not extend beyond the surface of the ball.
WEIGHT: The weight of the ball shall not exceed 16.00 pounds. There is no minimum weight.
HARDNESS: 1. The surface hardness of bowling balls shall not be less than 72 (measured with Shore
durometer, type D) at room temperature (68-78 degrees Fahrenheit).
2. The use of chemicals, or other methods, to change the hardness of the surface of the ball after it is manufactured is prohibited.
Until next week, let’s have fun and knock ‘em down.
