Gentlemen of the BTC
February 6, 2025

 

 

 

Well guys, it was another good night of bowling. We had lots of high scores. Tony Alexander had two good games with a 278 and 263. Jim Musser also showed off with a 313 and 253. John Bondi had a 263 and Mike Loye a 273. Mike Seebock and Derrick Bay had a 486 in doubles, but Connors and Stewart bettered them with a 487. But nobody outdid John Roberts who bowled a 300 game. His first. It was awesome. He and Alexander had a 595 in doubles. His other partner Gio and him had a 564. Pretty impressive scores.

The Brosius Doubles got underway. I am sure there were some pretty impressive scores. I just don't know what they were. Leader Board listing appears later in the newsletter.

Thoughts and prayers to Jim Eppolito and family as his wife Nancy passed away a week ago. No services have been scheduled yet. Will keep you updated when we find out.

No winner in the mystery pots and corner pin. I know you can't wait for this. I was 4 of 5 on ten pins. My total now is 39 of 61. Mr. Waldo was 0 for 8 again on 7 pins.

So now we are on to first base for my all-time best team. So far, I have Sandy Koufax pitching and Johnny Bench catching. I have to go with Lou Gehrig at first. Lots and lots of choices, but that's mine. Have to talk Super Bowl now. I will be rooting for KC to win three in a row. Best Super Bowl ever has to be Super Bowl 3 as Joe Namath changed the course of football history. That's my opinion, what's yours?

Your secretary,
DJ

P.S. Great Job John Roberts- 300

Tennis Report – Al Baldermann

 

 

16 players. Really good matches. Mike Ganz almost took Steve Anderson’s ear off with a shot. Steve is a tough guy. He survived.

After tennis 10 of us went to Sorriso’s for dinner. Late night. Good time.

BOWLING NEWS

Congratulations to John Robert who shot the first perfect game of the Builders Tee Club bowling season when he rolled a 300 in his last game on Tuesday! John could not have picked a better week at this was the first week of the Brosius Doubles. All of us bowlers were rooting him on through his 12th strike, way to go John!!!

This Tuesday will be the 2nd and final week of the Brosius Doubles, I know there were some great scores and week 1 totals! There are 82 doubles teams that entered this year which is only 8 less than last year, I know we would have surpassed last year’s total, but many of our bowlers for one reason or another were not able to bowl both weeks this year. With the tournament only 1/2 way done this week promises to be an exciting finish to the tournament. Pay-outs will be done after bowling once Gary Klonowski and Andy Zilis have a chance to tabulate all of the totals. All bowlers plan on sticking around after bowling this week even if you are not at the top of the Brosius Doubles standings. I am treating for pizzas in the bar after bowling, while Gary and Andy calculate all the scores and payout all the winners.

It was great seeing Jim Eppolito back on the lanes this week. Unfortunately, Jim had missed the last 2 weeks caring for his wife Nancy who passed away Wednesday January 29th. Jim met Nancy in grammar school 65 years ago, and they were married for 33 years. Our thoughts and prayers are with Jim during this difficult time.

The next big event this year will be our annual Calcutta which will be held Tuesday, March 25th this year – I will be donating extra money into our prize list for this tournament, so I hope all bowlers will participate. All bowlers for this event receive handicap, and the teams are chosen in a way that make all the teams equally balanced. There will not be any regular bowling that week!

Some of our top Individual handicap series this week were: Jim Musser 813, John Roberts 801, Dan Raymond 765, Tony Alexander 754, Dave Jenner 752, Rob Conners 726, John Bondi 712, Chuck Schwenn 699, John Paliga 699, Joe Eppolito 688, Anthony Serritella 688, Mike Loye 686, and Craig O’Reilly 682.

Our top scratch performers this week were: Dave Jenner 257, 247, and a 716 series, John Roberts 300, and a 705 series, Tony Alexander 259, 244, and a 697 series, Craig O’Reilly 246, 244, and 682 series, Jim Musser 264, and a 666 series, Anthony Serritella 225, 227, and a 634 series, Keith Tadevich 224, and a 624 series, John Paliga 255 game, Matt Janda 245 game, and Jim Eppolito 223 game.

Builders Tee bowlers if you haven’t paid your dues, you are not eligible to bowl this coming Tuesday! I have been communicating with our executive board this year and will have a list of any bowlers who have not yet paid dues. I will not allow those bowlers to bowl from this point on until your dues are not paid. If you have any questions, or comments regarding the bowling league, please text or call me at 708-912-8831.
