Our last event was on father’s day, and even though the event was on a holiday weekend, we still drew 59 entries! It was a lot of fun and we welcomed a lot of new bowlers to the Strike Force Tour family. The event ended up having 18 cashers which is a 1 in 3.2 cash ratio! We had three members make their first SFT AHT quarter finals appearance. Big congrats to Chris Ingram, Johnny Wing Jr, and Charlie Krauch. We also had a lot of dad’s in attendance and would like to wish all of them a happy father’s day!
The big story was Charlie Krauch making his first quarter finals appearance a BIG ONE with a huge $1,000 win! Charlie was clutch in his semi-final match. He needed the first strike in the 10th frame to defeat Ron Gonzales in the A division semifinals. Congrats to Charlie on a clutch tournament victory! Charlie is good friends with a fellow SFT AHT Champion, Charlie Light. Now the race is on to see who will get the second title first!
We also had a woman showing her skills again! Julie Pratt bowled well making it all the way to the finals. She defeated Ben Dewberry in the B Division semifinals by striking out in tenth to win by 6 pins! It’s always great to see the women coming out to compete. It’s even more fun to see them getting out there and striking more than the boys! Julie’s husband Jim actually won a PBA regional event this weekend also. A great weekend of bowling by team Pratt!
We also had a lot of positive feedback from the Turbo Tune Ups. I would like to thank Andrew Cain for coming out and offering his services to us for the weekend. For those of you that missed the opporotunity to work with Drew, don't worry, not only will he be back later in the year but you can schedule personal lessons with him by emailing him at andrew.cain@bowl.com.

We hope to see everyone at our next event at AMF Shea Village Lanes. The event will feature all of the same great tournament features like Divisional Insurance, Economy Parlay, Senior & Woman’s Division and Mid-Week Qualifying.
