H-3 Traffic Jam 

Despite the traffic jam on the H-3 Freeway, which then made some of our bowlers use the Pali Highway, our 9 Tap Tour was very successful.  There was one lane open from Halawa to H-3 Tunnel, traffic was backed up for miles, its just the State messing around with us Locals.  But the“Horrendous traffic” didn't keep our tournament from running late, as a matter of fact we were on time for all the squads.  

Predicted Another First time Winner 

This past week was just great in every way as we had another $1,000.00+ winner and a 1st time Champion; scores in our Best 3 out of 4 was just the way we like them with only 5 - 800’s and a bunch of scores in the 780's, “Just Great!” Scoring was tight all day as the first squad saw Randy Kaea-Cook, Clement Virtudes and Dennis Matthews post good scores of 843, 808, and 802 respectively.  There were no changes in the 2:30 pm squad and it looked like Randy had a comfortable lead heading into the final game of the 3rd squad but Guy Pai'oneeding to bowl a score of 300 + handicap in the last game did just that.  Finishing off a big scratch game of 300 and a score of 851 to edge out Randy by 8 pins, Guy became  Pali Lanes "New Champion".   Nice going Guy! Congratulations!  Guy used a Hammer bowling ball drilled by Shane Gasper and tour sponsor "Gasper Bowling Supply".  Tammy Poteat, one of our newest member, put together 7 No Taps in the Middle for $1,000.00.  That makes 3 members within a year that has beat the 9 Tap Jackpot for "Big Bucks"!  Tammy's bowling ball literally cracked between the thumb and bridge of the finger holes.  Now she gets to buy herself a brand new ball, awryte! 

With this past weekend’s 9 Tap Tour Jackpot being hit for another $1,000.00, our  9 Tap Jackpot has gone down to $5,644.00 and the Progressive Pot to $1,168.00.  Our next stop will be at Schofield Bowling Center on February 22, 2014with no change in squad times, 12:00 pm; 2:30 pm; and 5:00 pm.
