Gentlemen of the BTC
November 20, 2025

Another good afternoon for bowling, just not by me as I was well under average and was just a terrible 1 for 4 on ten pins, making me 7 for 11 on the season.  But worse than that, I was 0 for 2 on 7 pins.  But I did win ten bucks off of Mr. Paliga and my team won 5 points despite me. 

Even though I bowled bad, there were some good scores out there.  In the first game, Waldo shot 301 off the bench for Tony A, who was sticking really bad and decided to let Waldo bowl, "Good choice".  My buddy Mike "Waldo" Seebock was 1 for 1 on 7 pins, Adam V. had 297 which usually wins but didn't.  2nd game had Jack Brown 247, and Paul Kleinpaste 241. In the third game, Mr. Treasurer Lee Kaz had 282 and Paul K. 271. 

Doubles were Waldo and Tommy O 554, Paul K and Dwight Hammond 502 in the second game.  In the third was Lee Swintek and Kaz 532.  The blind doubles saw Waldo & Hammond 484, Gio and Wis 468, and I think Kaz and Quilici 468.  Survivor Pot was Swintek 250, and Hammond 236.  The last game pot saw P.K. with a 271, and Jimmy Eppilito 235. John Paliga shot the corner pin.  He missed that too like he missed everything all day.

Now onto the first place Chicago Bears who now have big games for the rest of the year.  We haven't had that in quite a long time.  They play Pittsburgh this week, who are a very beatable team even if Rogers plays.  They just need to keep throwing the ball to Loveland and Kmet, then they can get bigger plays from their wide receivers. And again, I watched about 10 games, deferring made no difference.  Take the ball and ram it down their throats.

Your secretary,

DJ

Tennis Report – Al Baldermann

 

Great night for tennis and fun. 15 players. Extremely competitive matches. The new format is working well.

 

After tennis 10 of us, including Bob Kennedy and Chuck DiNolfo had dinner at Social 45. They would never let us in again (Todd sang Styx) except that the great server received a 75% tip (do not let Johnny pay the bill again). The food was very good, the drinks plentiful and the conversations were over the top. Great group of guys.

Bowling News

The Traitors are on fire, they are a perfect 21-0 after the first 3 weeks of bowling! There is still plenty of time for the rest of us to get hot and chase them down. I want to thank everyone for getting their sanction cards, information, and money together over the last couple of weeks. This is the last week I will have these in your envelopes. Almost everyone is done with this at this point, there are just a few individuals who were not here last week that need to fill out their cards. I am looking to send this in after this coming Tuesday, so if you haven’t done so, please plan on taking care of this week. I have started working on a couple prize lists for you to vote on, and I plan to have this done in 2 weeks. It was great seeing a couple guys come out to bowl and help fill out some rosters. All teams seem to be in good shape with nice full rosters, much better than in the past. Please don’t forget you can pay your Sponsors Fees, the cost is $125 per Team and I can provide you with an Invoice if you or your sponsor would like one, please just ask.

I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A BRIEF CAPTAINS MEETING 5 MINUTES BEFORE PRACTICE THIS TUESDAY. PLEASE HAVE YOUR CAPTAIN OR A TEAM MEMBER PRESENT AT 2:40PM TUESDAY. ONE OF OUR MEMBERS WOULD LIKE TO RE- ADDRESS ONE OF OUR RULES, IT SHOULD ONLY TAKE A FEW MINUTES.   

Some of our top Individual handicap series this week were:  Adam Valentinas 744, Mike Seebock 733, Rob Conners 730, Lee Kaz 726, Dwight Hammond 724, Jeff Quilici 697, Les Swintek 694, Hal Eberling 691, Paul Kleinpaste 687, and Randy Giovannetti 680. Our top scratch performers this week were:  Adam Valentinas 267, and a 654 series, Ken Wisniewski 228, and a 622 series, Randy Giovannetti 213, 214, and a 626 series, Mike Seebock 247 game, Paul Kleinpaste 210 and a 240 game, Tom Ollenberger 235 game, Hal Eberling 221 game, Lee Kaz 218 game, Matt Janda 216 game, Les Swintek 214 game, and Jack Brown 214 game.
