WOW!!!  Fireworks . . . 

Our 9 Tap Tour kicked off the New Year at Hickam Bowling Center for its first tournament of the 2016 Season, and what a "Production of Fireworks, finishing with a Big Blast!".  It created a whole lot of  fun, excitement and very high scoring.  Hickam produced another two time Champion in Glen Teramoto, earning him $1,090.00 and his second Tour Shirt.  This time around was easy for Glen because he had set the bar extremely high.  After the first squad, Glen shot lights out with a score of 1193, a huge lead and that had everyone chasing him.  Tyrone Johnson, also bowled very well, posting a great score of 1106, only to trail Glen by 87 pins and a fifth place finish.  Mike Naehu made a gallant try but fell short by 50 pins, an 1143 score for 2nd place.  Ace Estiamba was third with a score of 1126, followed by Daniel Perreira with an 1119.  Glen thanks his buddies, Danny, Mike, Derrick and Grace for the support and cheering him on.  Also, a Mahalo! to the 9 Tap Tour for putting on these tournaments and giving the bowlers a chance to compete and making it "fun all around".  Glen used a Radical bowling ball for his win and drilled at Schofield Pro Shop.  Congratulations Glen!

The competition for 900 Global & AMF "Bowler of the Year (BOY)" was as close as it could be with the top 3 members still in the hunt; Virgil Dela Cruz, Ben Ballesteros and Daniel Toyooka-Lim.  Again, it came down to the last tournament of the 2015 season to determine the Champion.  Daniel Toyooka-Lim outlasted Virgil and Ben to claim his second "Bowler of the Year" (BOY).  Daniel Toyooka-Lim  will have another Title Year embroidered on his BOY shirt indicating his second title.  Congratulations Daniel for another great year, and 2nd BOY (Bowler of the Year) title.
