Friday, October 10th
marked the third and final Historic ‘Hoods Bowling Challenge issued by Paradise
Palms. For our final match of the
season, the Flamingo Club readily took on our challenge and gathered their
finest bowlers to go head-to-head against the Palmers. Both teams well represented their respective organizations
in what turned out to be the most well-attended event of the season. Despite some challenging conditions – a malfunctioning
yet generous pin-reader for the
Flamingos on Lane 19, transitioning from regularly-lit bowling to the dark and
blacklight-lit Cosmic Bowling and some questionable music blaring through the
basement of Sam’s Town, the Palmers held strong and maintained high scores
throughout the night.
Our own Jason Medberry &
Steve Fey both scored turkeys – three strikes in a row – Steve on Game 1 and
Jason on Game 2, while Dan Stafford was the official high-scorer of the night
with 155 on his second game (Cameron, Richard and Jason were all narrowly close
with 152, 153 and 154 respectively).
High scorer for the Flamingos was William with 147, who along with Shar
scored the most strikes in a single game.
In what turned out to be one of the most fun events of the season, the
Palmers pulled together to score their second victory of the season. Final score:
Flamingo Club 101.1, Paradise Palms 116.9. Rumors of a re-match in November began
flowing almost immediately – if challenged the Palmers will gladly accept. Thank you Flamingo Club for such a great
evening, you gave the Palmers quite a run.
