Nov 29, 2011

     How’s your turkey supply coming along?  Making noodles with it yet, maybe pot pies. Oh I know, making those cold turkey sandwiches.  I hope you had a great holiday, and we are now all looking forward to the Christmas holiday only 27 days away.
    A rather quiet week, seems like everyone was preoccupied with Thanksgiving preparations, but we do have a few items to report
   First off, Warrick Motors sponsored yet another tourney, this time in Cissna Park. Bowlers from both the Danville and Hoopeston area participated.
    Charlie Varner was the high side leader after qualifying with a 239 for 4 games. Robin Turner was the low side qualifier averaging 224, also for 4 games.  All that being said, Derrick Hufford rolled a 805 series to capture the tournament title.
    Don’t want to forget to let you all know about 15 year old Blake Norwell. Blake is one of our youth bowlers at Lincoln Lanes on Saturday mornings, and he bowled 10 strikes in a row on Nov 19, and ended out his 10th frame with a 3 hit and a spare, for a grand total of 283!  Way to go Blake!!
   No reports from the Tuesday Morning, Go Getters or Karaoke Leagues this week, due to the Thanksgiving holiday, but am sure they will be back up and rolling very soon. Senior League reports that
Karen Beck was 75 pins over average with a 213 game;  Bob Coburn 59 pins over his game average;  Shirley Lamm 51 pins over her game average.  ;. The following split conversions were made: Jack Ball, Greg Miller and Steve Newell the 5-10.   Judy Gebhart the 4-7-10.  Betty Lierman, Bob Coburn and Hank Biczkowski, the 5-7. Laura Baird converted two split combinations.  The 4-5-7, and the 5-6-10. Concluding this week’s reports with the Monday Nite Church No Tap league: Karen Hoskins had high score for the ladies this week, bowling a 251.  That was 75 pins over her 176 average. Other No-Tap bowlers getting 50 or more pins over average were Brock Dieu a 187 bowler, topping his average by 58 pins to reach a 245 game. JR Scruggs rolled 56 pins over his 206 average for a 263. Krystle Frazier bowled a 222, 77 pins over her 145 average. Barbara Weaver, a 160 bowler, topped her average by 51 pins to capture a 211. Brad Wheeler rolled 51 pins over his 155 average for a 206, Leean Palmer scored a 182 62 pins over 120. Karen Lane topped out the evening by outdoing her 118 average by 58 pins, ending up with a 176. Dieu also picked up the 2-6-7-10 split.
    I was down at the center this past week, bowling as a sub, and was advised they still have room for 2 more teams. It is a Church league, so why not see if you can get some other folks from Church, and maybe you can bowl on Monday nites at 6:30, at Lincoln Lanes, in the annex. It is a mixed league, does not make any difference how many of each gender you have, in fact, the team can even be all male or all female. It is a non sanctioned league and are there to just have fun. Tell ‘em Tuck sent you.
  Let’s get back to our rule of the week. We have been talking about ball specifications.
Plugs and Designs
1.  Ball plug may be used for the purpose of redrilling a ball. A slug may only be used in place of plugging a thumb or finger hole. The hole drilled through the slug must be complete, leaving no void at the base of the slug.
2.  In all cases, there shall be no interior voids.
3. Plugs and designs must be made of material similar to, although not exactly the same as, the original material out of which the ball was made. Plugs and designs must comply with other specifications of a bowling ball.
4.  No foreign material may be placed on the outer surface of the ball or in the weight hole, including but not limited to tape, paint, or whiteout.
5. Density may not exceed 1.5 g/mL
Next week, we will talk about 2 handed ball delivery.
Until next week, let’s have fun and knock ‘em down.
