·     We’re into our 17th week of bowling. Week 16 saw the Patriots losing all 8 points while the Cape Codgers picking up all 8. The standings are tightening up!

·     Week 17 was a different story. Mark Sabina’s bowling for the Patriots showed how the “heavies” of Brockton really operate.

·     Back-to-back 200 games for Mark – 211 and 201; first time this season for anyone. He also had the high string with handicap (262) and league high for this season. Next: 3 strings with handicap (713) and league high for this season. Most pins above average (57) and league high for this season. Whew, Mark. I’m exhausted just writing all your accomplishments. Way to go!

·     Wait; there’s more. Mark carries the Patriots to taking 6 points of and from second place Cape Codgers. By the way, Mark is an accomplished singer at Corpus Christi RC Church in East Sandwich. Catch him every Sunday at 7:30am.

·     Mark, did we leave anything out?

·     The Bull Horns were on the very of losing 6 points to the Go-Getters this past week. The Bull Horns were down 70 pins going into the 10th frame. Enough is enough! Don Lee and Will Helmlinger rolled 7 strikes in the last two frames, taking 6 points from the Go-Getter. Watch out for the Bull Horns, as there’s only one way up for them-holding onto last place the entire first half of the season.

Tidbits from the Bowling Lanes at South Yarmouth Dec 2,  2024

After 9 weeks of competition, we have a new Leader – “The Patriots”.
Mark Sabina
Steve Briggs
Gary Molyneaux
Charlie Dings

Three weeks of bowling found only two (200) games, and both by the same man:

Will Helmlinger 204, 207

Week 11
Stan Goldstein, a handicap series of 625. Tops for the week!
Stanley, Stanley, where have you been?!

QUESTION: What bowler throws more strikes and gutter balls??

ANSWER: Dave Cady… Your opinion please.

Time to talk about my favorite person, with the initials of a Sports Car – the MG, aka Monti Gilardi – the retired Forensic State Trooper.
He holds the season high single game (232). I also saw him have a 211, 102 (yes, a 102) and finished off with a 182. If Monti could only make the #10 Pin!

See ya at the lanes. Still looking for a few more bowlers.

After 6 weeks of competition, we find the “CapeCodgers” on top.

Top scores for this period.

• Monti Gilardi 232
• Will Helmlinger 204
• Roy Tutunjian  217
• Jim Dunbar 214

Oops. Couldn’t call it.
Bob Callahan with a 199.Sorry Bob

Dr. Joe Asiaf with a 126, 151, 162.

Great bowling Dr. Slow Joe, but very accurate

Good to see Mike Curtis back. Stay off that damn bike!

If you get a chance, give Bill Keto a call.
He was the Bowling Treasurer for 12 years.

Next time, I’m going to talk about my favorite person.
His initials are the same as a sports car. Guess who?

See ya at the lanes. Still looking for a few more bowlers.

Bill Plifka Alias “CANDY MAN”

After three weeks of competition, we find the team “Cape Coders” in First Place.
Their team is Paul Goyette, Bob Callahan, Roy Tutunjian, and Doug Scott.
Roy and Doug are really rolling that ball. I would say Roy throws the ball a little harder than his late Father-in Law Chuck Wry.

High bowling scores so far are:
Doug Scott 212
Monti Gilardi 211
Dave Cady 202 (Twice!)

We still have a few openings if you’re interested in joining our Bowling League.
It’s a Handicap League – with everyone on the same level.
We bowl each Thursday, 10:00 am  at the Ryan Amusement Center in Yarmouth.
