NEWS
From the desk of Phil
Phil LaPorte has a new e-mail address: phil@wibowl.com please change your records accordingly.
We would like to update you on the events --- The Senior Tournament ended on the 26th of April and checks were mailed out to the team captains on the 20th of May. If you don't hear from your team captain soon - please contact.
The final prize listing is now on the leader page. Checks are in the mail - they were sent out on June12th. Look for them and be sure to distribute to your team members.
Two reasons for the delay in the prize fund -
1. Bowlers be aware of rule 319 - reporting of prize winnings - all persons winning $600 or more - are required to submit this information prior to bowling. It should include money won and scores bowled. Failure to do so could disqualify the bowler.
2. Some bowlers do not adhere to the 15 pin rule - if at the time of bowling you are 15 pins higher than last year - you MUST use your current average.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us at 262-532-0623.
Congratulations to the winners of the raffle prizes - Car, Todd Bell, Boscobel; 32" TV, Craig Sinkula, Two Rivers; 26" TV, Ken Checkai, Brookfield; Packer Weekend, Pete Stensen.

2009 State Senior Tournament Joe Bowler
When Rudy Lajoie traveled from Superior to bowl in the Senior Tournament - he didn't know he would be selected as "Joe Bowler". With the help of Vice President Duke Reim and Director Gene Schrank of the WSBA - they selected the bowler number and then the lane number - and Rudy won the honors. He bowls 2 afternoons a week - enjoys cooking and has been married for 46 years. He got a strike to start the tournament out. Congratulations Rudy!! |
