Tuesday Tidbits

Just some short tidbits:


The 2009-10 Masters traveling league season begins tonight at West County Lanes. Start time, 7 p.m. 8 men and 8 women teams traveling around the area each Tuesday.

The league promises events for league bowlers displaced when the Master's is at their center, but provided no details about them.


Sorry to see Mike Wedemeier not bowling the Masters. For my money, he's the best bowler in the St. Louis region.

John Brown from Dexter, Mo. won the PBA non-winners regional at St. Charles Lanes this past weekend. Don't know him, never seen him bowl, but congratulations. Jeremy Boyer and Kurt Thompson were the highest local finishers, 7th and 8th place, $650 each.

League bowlers who only shoot on a house shot: Check out Craig Matthews column in this month's The Bowling News, now available at area centers and pro shops.

He's right.

After winning his first PBA Senior Regional in Springfield, Illinois, Gregg Getzlow followed up by making the cut at the PBA Sr. Regional last week in suburban Chicago. Tim Behrendt is bowling the PBA TQR's in Detroit, 47th on the Chameleon, 13th on the Viper.

The 2009 USBC Open Championship is history. Keith Jeffrey was the highest all-events total from the region, 125th place finish with a 2024, winning $1,090. For the 2009 USBC Women's Championship, unless I missed it, no one from the metro made the leaderboard in the Classic Division. I'm suprised.
