Well, by the time you read this report I will have gone to Reno to bowl in the ABC tournament and returned. Hope I can have some of these good scores out there. For you family bowlers, join an adult-junior league for the summer. It's a good way to spend some great time together.
As we close, we wish everyone some great bowling whether it's in a league or just a bowling outing. Until next week, may your strikes be many and your splits be few.
