Bowling
12-19-13

   Christmas is fast approaching, and I bet one of your bowler friends or families would love a gift that pertains to the sport. What do you think?
  Terry Jones bowls a 300……No Tap, and a 720 series.  Yes, I know some might think it’s not real bowling, but it is still hard to do. Jones is with the Monday Night No Tap League at Lincoln Lanes, and the game was 107 pins over his average. George Gouard rolled a 280 game (84). Sue Strong rolled a 258 game and a 689 series. Scott Cunningham had a 747 series. Others rolling 50 or more pins over average were:  Scott Cunningham with a 268 (73), Devin Heinrichs 223 (69), U Pete Wiliams 227 (60), Krystle Evans 221 (59), and Karen Lane with a 193 (70). Gouard knocked out both the 4-10 and 3-10 splits.
  In the Tuesday Nite No Getters Laura Baird had a 193 (56), Lacee Darr 169 (51), Derek Darr 211 (71), and Sue Strong 224 (55). The 5-7 split was picked up by both Mac McDaniel, and Russ Puzey.
