“The goal of every dedicated golfer is to at some time shoot his age for 18 holes of play. Most bowlers easily roll their ages, at any point in their life - but more than a few have trouble bowling their weight!”

Men’s City Tourney wrapped up Sunday with a lot of high scores being recorded. But all of the following results below are unofficial. E-1 Towing took the team event with a 3,492. Russ Boucher had a 589, Shawn Burrington a 627, Ken Erickson a 644, Ken Riska a 679 and Lorin Teske a 575. E-1’s scratch total of 3,114 was nothing to sneeze at either. Team Sensorsed recorded a 3,458 with a scratch 3,068, and Havre Ford’s 3,363 was third. Bill Dean and Randy Christofferson’s 1,410 was first in the doubles. Dean threw a 577 and Christofferson a 602 for a scratch 1,179. Bill Henry and Frank Peterson were next with a 1,389. First place in the singles went to Dean with a 715 and 592 scratch. Shawn Burrington’s 713 was second followed by a 704 from Ken Erickson and a 680 by Henry. Frank Peterson was the handicap. Allevents champion with a 2,187. Peterson posted scratch scores of 661, 594 and 518. It looks like Shawn Mariani shot the high game and series of 290 and 713. Mariani’s 290 resulted from a solid 10-pin in the first frame. Mariani also had a 249, 242, 659, 654 and 622. Peterson earned awards for his 661 which were a +105 overgame and a +205 over-series. Erickson did some steady shooting with a 235, 644, 234 and 672 as did Burrington with a 627, 235, 620, 631, 236 and 641. R L Christofferson had a 233, 636 and 602; Mike Hamilton a 625; Don Jones a 606 and 237; Ken Riska a 243, 232 and 679; Randy Randolph a 619; Jay Burrington a 612; Byron Eggum a 244 and 668; Dave Wolf a 237 and 650; Ron Tompt a 630; Brett Antley a 231, 624 and 237; and Ryan Mapes a 266, 615 and 637. Minnow Mariani scored a 236; Nick Turner 233; and Bret Preeshl a 234. There were a lot more big scores and I give a “thumbs up” to the men for their great bowling, especially Frank Peterson who has struggled this season like a lot of us. Patti Schwan, Lorna Bjerga, and Melinda Pozega have age-adders on Sunday, and Joe Selby gains one on Monday. Jackie Mayer picked a 2-4-6; Doug Watson 3-9-10; Brenda Nelson 4-5; and Denise Brewer 6-7. Once again, Christy Holden neared the “Six” mark with a 594. Her 212 was the high game. Myrna Morse had a 525; Jackie Mayer a 513; Tammy Pozega a 501; and Deanna Olson a 204. Ken Riska lit up the lanes again with games of 246, 244 and 256 and a 746. Shawn Burrington had a 258; Art Olson a 246; and Roy Hamilton a 657. Riska also had the high four-game of 27. Art Olson shot an 828 and Roy Hamilton an 861.

RUDYARD: Dallas Donoven hit the maples for a 255 and a 681, the highs for the week. Jack Jacobson scored a nice 245, 661; Shawn Rettig 619, 236; Chris Pappas 617; Shane Rice 602; and Todd Langel 601. Jacobson also had the high four-game of 801. Marjie Spinler shot the women’s highs of 200 and 509. Spinler also had a 509 and a182 All-Spare game. She also picked a 5-10 and Betty Marshal a 5-6-10.
