Whew!!!! Finally done with the tournaments. Paid out about $11,000.oo in cash last Wednesday. Great scores, great fun - lots of cash! :)
The Champs Tourney has only 2 squads left -- Pay off is Wed @ 7:00pm. It is very unfortunate that a few of the league officers failed to give the entry blanks to their teams. There is really too much money in this event to not give the bowlers the chance to make their own decisions as to wether or not they want to bowl -- especially when the worst you can do is break even!! Total prize fund for this tournament is in the $12,000.00 range +/- $1000, depending on the entries.
Also, one more qualifying round for the Shoot Out, then the finals Sunday!! The winner goes home w/ $600. Total prize fund is $2250 for the top 32!
We are now starting to put out the entries for the airway Award Scores Shoot Out. If you have bowled a game with 11 or 12 strikes in a row, a 750 series for men, or a 700 fo women, you are qualified. IF you do not receive an entry the week of 3/26/12 thru 4/2/12 -- ASK AT THE COUNTER!! We probably do not have a record of it. There is over $2200 in prize money involved - and you could win a part of that.
New at Airway -- Text Messaging. To "opt in" enter 57711 into your phone, type in "bowling". then hit send. You'll get a message back that is good for a free pair of rental shoes with bowling, or a free game. Later on, we will have other key words good for other coupons in the bar, the deli or comedy shows. We will also be able to use it to notify people of volleyball events or cancellations. Give it a try!
Our Annual Chili Cook-off Super Bowl Party went off w/o a hitch. Everyone had a great time and a lot of door prizes went out. The Chris Schmidt III Trio did not win all of the big prizes like last year - but not for a lack of trying. John's Chili was outstanding - and there was not a drop of chili left in any of the crock pots
Starting on January 9th, Airway will be hosting a "Disc Golf" league in our banquet center. Because it is indoors, it is strictly putting, but look for a league in the spring. Then they will be "driving & chipping" also. Click on the interactive calendar.
Need a place for a graduation party - outdoors? Airway has three large decks that overlook 2 beach volleyball courts and 5 horseshoe pits, and can provide very large canopies. Check it out - all the mess is here, not at home.
Our 50th Anniversary party was huge beyond my wildest dreams. Never, ever, did I think that so many people would be there. I have estimated that 800 - 900 people were drifting around the property, doing various things, most of the time. The pig roast went over well, but what REALLY went over was the corn roast. Maybe we'll just do that next year and skip the pork!
There is now an interactive calendar on the web site. It is located at several different pages, but it is always the same calendar. if you click on the event, it will open up and give more details regarding that event.
We are still running our Sunday morning special. Get on the lanes before 10am, and pay only $4.79 for 2.5 hours. Before 11am, it is $5.79 a person. After 11:00am, it is $6.99 a person. It is a good way to bowl inexpensively. It is also a great way to practice.
