WHAT A TOURNEY... The TOP 5 finishers were ALL chasing their 1st Tour Title!!  We would like to thank all our bowlers for their patience at Skyway Saturday... I'm sure you understand with the long layoff from Covid, it will take sometime for the Centers to get back to up and running smoothly.  With that said, all we can say is WOW... the scoring was unbelievable.  The oil pattern was actually the same one that we've used at Skyway for several years, but we suspect that the calibrations on the machine are off a bit, as the oil volume appeared higher than normal.  Thanks to the layoff, it will require a visit to each Center for us to learn where we're at... right now, it's a little like shooting in the dark.  Of the 14 payoff spots, 13 bowlers scored over 1000... it was an all out shoot out. The 9-Tap Jackpot saw only two bowlers reaching 4 front taps, Roland Jarata and Skip Shear both winners taking home $50.00 each.  A special note, Nick Kehler travels all the way from Moses Lake to compete on the Tour.  He tossed his first Tour 300 game, which would have paid-out in the Scratch Pot, but he wasn't in it... AND in the process he strung  7-MIDDLE Taps... which would often pay $500.00 if the Jackpot is over $4,000.00... but it wasn't.  We're sure he will do it again... when it does count!  As a side note, the food at Skyway Park was wonderful.
