A big "Shout Out" goes to the "Hey Bub #2" Ladies Team at the Shammy Burt Tournament. The Ladies - from the Sam Greaves Lady Masters League at Airway - really outdid themselves The unoffical results are at http://shammyburt.com/leaderboard.aspx to view them directly. The Ladies are in 2nd Place in the Ladies Team event, 6 pins away from 1st, with 3303. They are 2nd in the Ladies Team event, actual, with 2943 - 60 pins short of first. In the Ladies Team Actual High Game, they tied for 1st place with 1067.
In the Individual events, Robin Schatz won the Ladies High Series actual, with an outstanding 744, and Ladies High Game Actual with a 279. Unless heard her incorrectly, Robin is buying drinks for the Lady Masters as soon as she gets her checks. Nice shooting Ladies.

Web Bowlers "Threes Enough Tournament", just after Thanksgiving, in Whitmore Lake, MI http://webbowler.com/. This tournament is in it 6th year, and I am told that it is a lot of fun.
www.thetournamentsource.com This a great resource for tournaments and other bowling related items. "The Tournament Source"
http://www.michiganbowling.com/ , goes to Michigan Bowling. The site lists tournaments and special bowling events from Toledo to Flint to Grand Rapids and it is worth a look at. The site specializes in"PBA Condition" tournaments and sweepers.
Here is a really fun tournament, and it is fairly close - two hours away, in West Branch. It is at Ogemaw Lanes. This center was built, brand new, after they had a fire that leveled the original center, the same summer that I installed the synthetic HPL Lanes. They also have the HPL lanes but the also have the HPL approaches. After speaking with several of the employees there, if I ever have to get away from my wood approaches, this will be the way to go. Regardless, this "Best Frame" tournament format is a ton of fun. Their website is http://www.ogemawlanes.com/. I suggest that you check it out.
