Gutterballs Weekly Vol. IV Issue 7 Christmas Edition!

O bowling Night! The lanes are brightly shining;

It is the night of the league Christmas party.

Long lay the world in pin and strike pining.

Till we appeared and the Turkey felt its worth.

A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,

For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.

Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the brooklyn voices!

O strike divine, the night when dude was born;

O strike, O Holy strike , O strike divine!

O strike, O Holy strike , O strike divine!

And a Merry Christmas to you!

What a great night. The fun, the tunes, the amazing spread of food, some crazy holiday sweaters and of course the bowling!

Thank you all who came it was another great night of PW Gutterballs league action.
For those of you who missed it I hope whatever it was that kept you from the lanes was worth it.
Let’s take a look at what you missed;

(Check back later, More pictures will be posted as they are sent to the league office)

High Game:

Dude: New ball in hand and not too much booze in the system yet Tony came out hot. Tossing a game 1 high 202. Many would try but all challengers fell short. The closest call was Ess in game three posting a 199, ohhhh sooooo close. Now the question is could he keep the pace?

Ladies: Posting a number early for others to chase was also the game plan for Amanda Yoho wait I mean Williams. Lot of Amanda Yoho’s in the crowd this week. Excellent addition to the party. This begs the question, can one have too many Yoho’s in one room? I don’t think so, but maybe we should ask Brad Williams.

Oh yeah the high score, sorry about that, Amanda’s 184 in game one held up. Stef made a good run at it in game three but her 180 wasn’t enough.

Series Total:

•Dudes: So now with new ball in hand and more booze (White Russians / Wild Turkeys / Miller Lites) in system could Tony maintain the hot start….. NOPE.

Tony posted a 515 two pins short of Mr. Bowl Jon Crain’s 517, Although JC failed to post a score better then 177 his steady roll was the difference.

•Ladies: How about the ladies you ask. Much like the dudes (minus the booze intake) Amanda’s game one wasn’t enough to ward off Stef’s 441. Honorable mention goes out to Michelle’s 436. Was this her coming out party or was it the elf hat with bells?

How do you measure up?:

League wide average’s: Dudes: 160 (down 1) Special Lady Friends: 132 (even)

Most Improved Bowler

When he wasn’t getting busted for smuggling in Miller High Life’s, B-Rad was busting his old average by 4 pins! 150, 147, 155 now that is some good rolling.

But tonight’s BIG winner is Michelle. Her 436 bumped her average an impressive 5 pins!

Biggest Dip:

His Christmas sweater was looking good but his game was not. This week Mikey drops 7 pins.

200 Games:

Tony: 202

Must have been good karma from the wife showing up!-Nice antlers

500 (+) Series:

JC 517
Tony 515

450 (+) Series Ladies:

None- Close but no four-fifty for you

Season Milestones:

JJ first hunter to reach 10 kills! Nice roll’n

Best Shot of the night:

Wild Turkey- on the house! Thanks Willie

Best of the Best:

Sweaters: JC- snowman up his sleeve, Hoepner rocking the turtleneck (that looked uncomfortable), JJ too tight 7-10 club very cool. Jaime’s bells
Accessories: Sarah’s black angle ear rings and updue nice Christmas hair styling.
Food: Tough to beat Pasta Shoppe Pizza great surprise thank you Dohrwardts.
As for home made, there were dips from the Morgan’s and cookies from the Williams but everyone was talking about the grape jelly and chili sauce meat balls from Stef. Yeah we said grape jelly. They were great!

Furthest travel to roll award: Goes to Amanda Lanser/ Yoho in for the holidays from Sacramento California. Awesome addition. Also she rocked a great sweater and tossed an impressive 145 in game one. Not bad for a first timer.

Sorry if I am missing anything. You can add it in the comments section below.

Thanks everyone who made this year’s holiday party a huge success and a lot of fun.

PROGRAMMING NOTE: No “official” bowling for the next TWO weeks. Stay posted for potential holiday rolls.

VERY IMPORTANT: New Years Day- PW Polar Bear Club has announced a new Papa Bear. It is our leagues very own JC. Come out January 1 show your support of the polar bears or join in the fun. Then head to Willies for some warm drinks and bowling!

See you on the lanes!

Sincerely,

(no photos this week, so you get classic bowling hotties!)

- This weeks report is brought to you by guest league beat writer Mikey "the Cobra" Morgan.

It was a nice solid turn out of 15 bowlers

High Game

Dudes:With there being plenty of good bowling 7 games in total over the 200 mark 5 bowlers in the battle. Tony started with two strong scores but unfortunatly with Mikey in the 2nd game rolling a 222 he takes the prize.

Ladies:We had several good bowling efforts from the ladies this week however Stef takes this prize one more time with this years high ladies game of a 197. Amanda watch out she is gunning for your league record of 223.

Series Totals

Dudes:If you were paying attention the answer to last weeks guestion if JC could pull off another big series is NO. Tony starts out on pace to have a big week but with some consitant bowling Mikey rolls a 624.

Side Note: This is Mikey's first 600 series

Ladies:Jaime and Ashli roll a solid 394 but with Stef coming through rolls a 476 to top her own record for a Season high series.

Most Improved Bowler

With Bill coming back for the first time basing his improvement off last year its a 29 pin improvement. He shaked the early rust and rolled a 212 in the 3rd game. Tony and Mikey both improved 6 pins


Biggest Dip
With such a big week last week anything would have been seen as a dip but JC has the biggest dip with -6
I would have to say with all of that there was no real big dip considering we had 15 bowlers.

Mikey 222, 221
Tony 212, 200

Bill 212

Gutterballs Weekly Issue 5 Vol 4

Where to begin? How about the speed bowling this week. League done by 9 pm. Or how about another ladies night. Great numbers posted from Jamie, Sarah, and Stef. But really this night belonged to one man. The Dude Abides.

JC found the grove on lanes 5 and 6 this week. Let's jump right to the numbers.

High Game

Dudes:

On a cold wintering night back in January 07, a legend of the game claimed his glory rolling a 265. That legend was Steve Schaefer. Well all records are made to be broken. This Thursday all conditions were right for JC. The lanes just dry enough, the speed was intense helping keep his focus, the beer was cold and the juke box was rocking. What does this all mean? JC went 6 straight XXXXXX, left an open 9, then found the grove XXXXX9. If I have that right? Anyways every thing he tossed went down, pins, beers and turkey shots. On his way to a NEW LEAGUE record 278. 22 pins short of perfection.

The league office is honored to have witnessed this feat.

Ladies:

Making sure JC wasn't hogging all the glory this week, Jaime Morgan showed off her skills. Tossing an impressive 170 in game two. But this weeks high lady game AGAIN goes to Sarah Suddendorf. Three years of spotty appearances, and occasional headlines, has left her wanting more. Year four Sarah's steady appearances and headlines she is making a name for herself as an early favorite for this year's queen of the lanes.

SIDE NOTE: Ahh the Queen of the lanes title. Year One Jesse Levin, Year two Amanda Williams, Year three Stef Emmer. All great champions of the lanes.

Series Totals

Dudes:

Well a 278 in game one really sets one up to win it all. But did JC stumble? Could he sustain his greatness? What do you think?... Stay tuned...

Ladies:
Jaime's game two was a high point for her on the night, Reigning Queen of the lanes Stef brought her (A) game tossing a 464. Not enough. As Sarah Suddendorf again makes her mark with a 469. now that is nice roll'n.

Dudes: The suspense is killing you isn't it? Sorry about that. But shame on you for doubting JC on this record setting night. You don't have to crush a record to break it. It only takes one. JC rolled a 278, 203, and then a 192 on his way to a 673 serirs. Sorry Steve, that knocks your 672 to second all-time on the list.

Most Improved Bowler

You break some records you better show up here. And that is just what JC did. +14 to 181. Jaime's 170 game helped bump her average up +7. Great rolling both of you.

Biggest Dip

Ugly, the new ball didn't help as Tony slid -3. Making sure he wasn't alone JJ what a nice guy slid -10.

200 Games:
JC – 278, 203
Jason 232
Mikey 221
Ess- 203

500 Series

JC 673
Jason 581
Mikey 558
Ess 521

Wow that is a lot of good bowling. I'm jealous / happy for you guys

450 (+) Series Ladies

Sarah 469
Stef 464

Best Shot of the night

When your hot your hot. JC hit a 6,7 -10 split in game 2. Awesome. You tube coming soon compliments of Barber

UPDATE: Here is the highlight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-gvwrZorUA

Best Line of the Night

Barber: “I got that shit on film!”

Turkey Hunters Club Update:

JC matched his previous record of 4 kills in one night. All in all there were 8 kills 4 hunters.

Thats all folks. Thanks for coming. Hope to see you next week.

WERE BACK! Weekly reminder Week 5

WERE BACK!!!!

After Hunting and Thanksgiving break the league should be well rested and ready to Roll!!!!

Bowling fun fact #6: Magic Number 110?

• Because if you bowl a 110 by the seventh frame you are able to bowl a 200. If you don't have a 110 by the seventh frame you will not bowl a 200

• If you have 110 by the 7th frame and strike out you will end up with an even 200.

* I don’t like math, Let’s just Roll!

And now your featured bowling quote of the week: Big Lebowski:

Dude: This Chinaman who peed on my rug, I can't go give him a bill so what the fuck are you talking about?

Walter: What the fuck are you talking about?! This Chinaman is not the issue! I'm talking about drawing a line in the sand, Dude. Across this line you do not, uh--and also, Dude, Chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature, uh.. Asian-American. Please.

Looking forward to seeing you all there!
