Gentlemen of the BTC |
April 10, 2025 |
Man,
it was kind
of cold
outside and
very cold on
the lanes
for me as I
let my team
down and we
got skunked.
Kind of
almost
eliminating
us for a
chance at
the second
half as we
went from
second to a
distant 4th.
But Tri-Star
still has a
couple of
teams to
watch out
for -
Beggars
Pizza and
Arena
Lanes. Oak
Forest leads
the B
Division
with Ascend
Wealth
Planning two
points
behind.
Band of
Brothers and
Oak Forest
Bowl are
still in the
hunt.
There
were lots of
high scores.
A lot of
them by
"That's Why
I Am There
Paliga" and
his
teammates.
Handicap
games were
Paliga
287-266,
Kenny Wis
275, Derrick
Bay 262,
Jeff Dinga
258, Tony
Alexander
and Randy
Samoska with
256.
Doubles saw
Paliga and
R. Samoska
with a 543,
Paliga & Slu
with 536 in
the first
game.
In the
second game,
it was Bill
Slu and
Kenny Wis
with a 535
and Kenny
Wis & Tony A
with a 523.
The third
game was
Paliga and
Slu with 525
and Magee &
Cahill with
Paliga at
524.
Blind
doubles were
Lambros &
Randy
Samoska with
529, Paliga
& Kenny Wis
512, and
Dinga & Ward
with a 506.
Last game
handicap was
Paliga 266,
Slu 259 and
three tied
for 3rd:
Dinga, Timmy
and Cahill
with 258.
Survivor
finally kept
Paliga and
the rest of
That's Why
You're There
team of
Tri-Star off
the board.
Jeff Dinga
258, Jim
Musser 244
and Ben
Tutka 233.
There were
two mystery
winners in
the first
game-my
buddy Waldo
and Roger
Stewart with
142.
No winners
in the
second game.
Corner pin
was shot by
Tony A.
Of course,
he got a
strike so
there's a
rollover.
My
buddy Waldo
was 2 for 3
on seven
pins.
He has
improved a
lot in the
last 8
weeks. Me,
as usual, a
dismal 3 for
7, making me
a terrible
60 for 98 on
the season.
Just about
418 pins
down I
didn't get.
Time
for my first
joke of the
year other
than my ten
pins.
Marriage is
like a deck
of cards.
In the
beginning
all you need
is two
hearts and a
diamond.
By the end,
you wish you
had a club
and a spade.
Well,
the Masters
starts
Thursday.
If you don't
like
Augusta, you
just don't
like golf.
I am going
with Scottie
Scheffler to
win, Rory
second, and
Brooks
Koepka
third.
Your
secretary,
DJ
P.S.
Big
Question:
What is a
spare ball?
I never get
any!!!
