Glenfair Lanes

This weekend’s event was our 3-Day Memorial Day Major at Glenfair Lanes. We would see 254 total entries (210 qualifying and 44 parlay entries) this weekend and we can’t thank the bowling community enough for all the help in making this such a successful event. The event had 70 cashers, a 1 in 4 cash ratio and paid out over $20,000.00 in main and side event prize funds. It was great to see everyone come out to compete and had a good time. We would draw entries from around the state to bowl our event. The players bowled on a 41ft Patriot (41ft PBA Bear) oil pattern that proved to be playable but very tough when moving pair to pair. There were some bowlers that seemed to match up well for a game or two but would get lost in transition and this would put a premium on spare shooting. Bowlers had to be able to leave makeable spares and try to repeat shots. The scores were on par with bowlers only needing to get slightly above average to make the cut.

Our event this weekend was at Glenfair Lanes, and we had another great turnout for our Early Bird 2-squad tournament. We had 142 total entries (97 qualifying & 45 economy parlays) for only 2 squads! We would see 36 prize winners and a 1 in 3.94 cash ratio, paying out over $8,600 in main and side event prize funds. The players bowled on the 44ft Kegel Titanium oil pattern that was very high scoring. The pattern did have a slight out of bounds, so if you got it too far towards the gutter early, but it wouldn’t come back. We would see a lot of higher scores than usual but going from pair to pair there were some big differences and once the oil pattern started to break down in the later squads, then scores started to increase. It would take about +70 to qualify for the quarterfinals with bowlers needing to bowl 20-25 pins over their average per game to advance.

Our event this weekend was at Glenfair lanes and we had a huge turnout for our 2nd tournament of the 2022 season!  We had a record breaking 134 total entries (92 qualifying and 42 economy parlays) for this 2-squad event, with a cash ratio of 1 in 3.72 and paying out over $8,300.00 in main and side event prize funds.  The bowlers played on a very difficult 37ft Kegel Radium oil pattern, that is a bit short and flat, which saw some lower cut scores.  The average cut to make it to the quarterfinals was about even, which meant that you just had to get close to your average to move on.  Shorter patterns have always been very difficult at this bowling center. For whatever reason, regardless of the oil pattern, the gutters have always been a bit out of play and don't have a lot of reaction off of them. Because of this, shorter oil patterns are extremely difficult.  The key this weekend was definitely spares!

Our event this weekend was at Glenfair Lanes and it was our last regular season event of the 2021 season.  We had a great turnout with 104 entries (82 qualifying and 22 economy parlays) with 29 cashers, a 1 in 3.58 cash ratio and paid out over $7,000.00 in main and side event prize funds.  The players bowled on the 40ft Kegel Highway to Hell oil pattern that played pretty tough for most of the day.  There were some higher scores but bowlers were able to play a variety of angles on the pattern.  The cut scores stayed around +50 for most of the day, which meant that you had to bowl about 10-15 pins over your average per game to qualify.

Our event this weekend was at Glenfair lanes and we had a pretty good turnout considering we haven’t been here in almost a year!  We had 92 total entries (62 qualifying and 30 economy parlays) with a cash ratio of 1 in 3.83 and paying out over $5,500 in main and side event prize funds.  The bowlers played on a very difficult 37ft Kegel Radium oil pattern, that is a bit short and flat, saw some pretty low-cut scores.  The average cut to make it to the quarterfinals was about even, which meant that you just had to get close to your average to move on.  Shorter patterns have always been very difficult at this bowling center. For whatever reason, regardless of the oil pattern, the gutters have always been a bit out of play and don't have a lot of reaction off of them.
