TOURNAMENT TWITTERS

I hate that term Twitter, vowed never to subscribe to it, seemed just weird. But the guy who invented it is from St. Louis (really!) so I back hometowners making a difference. I'll let you know when the twitter account is up and running.

FROM REYNOLD BLONDIN AT GRAN PRIX:

BOWLERS - I WILL PERSONALLY DONATE $ 300 TO THE FIRST 300 BOWLED. IF THERE ARE NO 300'S BOWLED THEN IT WILL BE ADDED TO THE PRIZE LIST FUND. For the upcoming season the Gran Prix Tour will be using patterns created by the GPT Lane conditioning committee. We are excited to create a scoring environment that transcends sport and house bowling patterns. Our goal for this season is to have a median score of 205-210 with the tournament leaders averaging between 225-230. I am working with experts in lane conditioning and am very excited about what we will offer this season. Our next tournament of the season is at Hazelwood Bowl on September 20th on GPT Pattern TARA.

Editor note: This is a Over50/Under 50 doubles event, The Dave Harmon Memorial Doubles.

This pattern is a wider, yet shorter version of Hazelwood's house shot. TARA should be able to be attacked from multiple angles due to the distance of 38ft. TARA applies oil in the inside part of the lane on the forward run, and a flatter overlay on the return.

Also this Sunday, Roll for the Dough at King Pin Lanes (Bridgeton). A portion of the tournament entry fee will be donated to the family of Dave Harmon.
