Via Linda Results - 6/10/2012

We had another fun and successful tournament at Brunswick Via Linda Lanes. The event featured far less squads then a normal weekend but we still had 74 total entries for the weekend! There were 20 total cashers which was a 1 in 3.8 cash ratio! I would like to thank all of the members that continue to spread the word and keep coming out and bowling with the SFT family. Our growth and rapid success is all because of you!

Well the events biggest story line was the tournament winner. Ron Gonzales is a smooth stroking lefty from Tucson, Arizona. Ron not only dominated the event all weekend, with a +132 qualifying score, +151 in the quarter finals and then two scores of 240 plus to bring home the tournament title. In the process he set the new record for the Economy Parlay. Ron parlayed $25 into $1,000 with the Economy Parlay tournament feature. It is a very incredible accomplishment and well deserved! Ron has come close multiple times to winning a title but always fell short. Congrats on finally getting yours buddy! Great bowling this weekend!

It was a huge weekend for the economy parlay. We had three other bowlers who were parlay success stories. Warren Eales, Brian Waugh and Jesse Decker all made the tournament quarter finals with only a $25 investment. This weekend really showed the true power of the parlay with 4 bowlers capitalizing on this tournament feature, and 1 bowler of those 4 winning the whole thing!

I would also like to congratulate Kyle Karpovich and Derek Acuff on their tournament success this weekend. Kyle was the tournament runner up and took home $500.00, and Derek made the quarters and took home $100.00. These bowlers are both youth bowlers and members of the JBT bowling tour. We are excited to see the junior bowlers coming out to join the SFT family and are happy to see their early success with the club.

Also, congrats to Mike Morales, Josh Reid, Tom Large, and the Lazenby Brothers on making the quarter finals. It’s always great to see the members that have been supporting the club since we picked it back up still coming out and enjoying the tournament.

Thanks to everyone that came out and I hope to see you all at AMF Union Hills Lanes next weekend. We will not only be featuring a special Father’s Day criss cross doubles side event, but we will also have Silver Certified coach Andrew Cain on site, for some Turbo Tune ups.
