Golden Pin Lanes

We had our event this Sunday at Golden Pin lanes in Tucson, AZ. We were very happy to be back in Tucson as we have consistently tried to get more and more bowlers in Tucson to come out to our annual events there in their area. The turn out was much better then our last one there. It drew 43 total entries (31 qualifying entires and 12 economy parlay) had 13 cashers, and paid out over $2,000.00.

The bowlers competed on the 36ft Bejing oil pattern which yielded incredibly high scores in the A division but, not as high in the other divisions. This is a common theme with short oil patterns, as the higher averaged bowler is familiar with and more comfortable playing the far outside part of the lane. It is always interesting seeing how different kinds of patterns yielded higher cut scores in certain divisions.

Our event at Golden Pin lanes drew 47 entries, had 16 cashers and a 1 in 2.9 cash ratio. The players bowled on the 40ft Carmen Salvino oil pattern which had moderate to high scores. We met a few new bowlers that lived in the Tucson area, and even had a couple of them make it to the quarter finals in their first event with us! 

We met the following new members; Larry Thompson, Erica Pursell, Richard Bruner, Josh Franz, and Labriel Leach were all new members that came out to represent Tucson. A special congrats to Josh Franz who made the quarter finals in his first ever SFT AHT event. Also congrats to Erica Pursell who made it all the way to the B division finals in her first ever event. Also congrats to Robin Unfricht who showed the power of the parlay and turned $25 into a quarter finals check! Congrats everyone!
