Gold Coast Lanes
Oct. 22nd, 2016
Total Paid Out: $2,960.00

 Eight brave Members took to the lanes for the second installment of Crazy 8s competition to win their way in. (My apologies for the poor pic below.)
 'Crazy 8s Madhatters'
Greg Mamac, Ken James, Ejay Zafra, II, Guy Hirsimaki, Manny Zafra,
Tess Zafra, Stan Leowenkamp, and Paul Roberts
3 bowlers made it across 5 lanes with 8 or better to make the Finals. Ken James, Greg Mamac and Guy Hirsimaki squared off to see who would win an entry. After Guy was eliminated, Greg and Ken both failed to get 8 or better so they went another round. This time Greg came out on top to win his way in. Crazy 8s will return at 11am at Silver Nugget with a twist. On your first entry, you will get TWO attempts instead of one. Now on to the recap..........
It was another close race for the top at Gold Coast where the separation from 1st and 3rd place was only 9 pins. With 50 entries, 10 bowlers made the 'Cash list' with a low to cash of 922. A total of $2,960.00 was paid out along with a 3-way tie for the 9-Tap Jackpot. Kenny Reynolds, Al Sivka and David Kaea, (Hawaii 9-Tap Director), who was visiting from the Hawaii Region with his wife, Frances, all recorded the front 4 no tap strikes to earn a piece of the Jackpot. Each will receive a LasVegasAdvisor.com
Rewards book worth over $3500.00 in discount savings! Special thanks also to Frances Kaea who helped me verify scores and prepare the results at the end of day.
After the first two squads of the day were completed it looked liked a 'Family Affair' on the leaderboard as the Zafras had locked up the Top 3 spots with Ejay Zafra, II leading the way. At the end of the day, the 'Family Affair' got broken up but all three did cash! Climbing to the top was Daryl Jeffries. He started off slow with a 186 game, but he did not give up, finishing with 3 very strong games to close with a 968 series. Only 3 pins behind was Ric Bisnar, who very close to snatching his very first title. Ejay Zafra, II got his second 3rd place finish in a month since finishing behind his mother Tess Zafra, who this time finishes behind her son for 4th place. Daryl pockets a COOL $712.00, Ric adds another$419.00 to his career earnings and Ejay pads his total with an even$300.00. Congratulations to the Top 3. Great competitive scoring this week, keeping it close and exciting! Other cashers were Robert Rawlings, Manny Zafra, Greg Mamac, Bing Fermento Jr., Al Slivka and Delfing Mijares.
Daryl Jeffries of Las Vegas has been bowling for 20 years and joined the 9-Tap Tour back in February. Having finished 2nd twice before, this time he
 found success. Daryl used his Primal Rage by Motivfor the win, drilled up by Johnny Petraglia Jr. at Sunset Station. He was cheered on by his wife Laura, and a few others. With his birthday approaching this Thursday, Daryl is planning to add to the festivities with his winnings. When asked how he was feeling, he noted that he just took one shot at a time. Daryl would like to thank his wife for her support as well as the 9-Tap Tour for running the best tourney in Las Vegas. Happy Birthday Daryl and enjoy the extra cash to make the day even more special. |
