Luci Doubles, after the practice....

Just finished bowling the practice session for the Luci Bonneau Mixed Doubles.  The lanes were pretty playable, with the slow wheel being he preferred method of hitting the pocket.  I couldn't find anything off the gutter, though some claim they had a good shot on the edge.  Doubt they will be this good tomorrow with probably more OB on the edge and less hold in the middle.

Shana and I went for $250 in the calcutta portion of the tournament.  Bidding starts at $50.  Last year we went splash into the pool, but this year had a couple people bidding on us, not sure why, oh well, if we win, $250 would be a bargain.

Very many world class players here at this tournament.  I will try to name some off the top of my head.  80 full teams including:  Parker Bohn, Mike Fagan, Dino Castillo, Sean Rash, Mike Scroggins, David Haynes, Steve Smith, Tommy Jones, DJ Archer, Liz Johnson, Robin Romeo, Paula Vidad, Carol Norman, Anita Manns, Mehgan Riley, Clara Guerrero, Robert Lawrence, Chris Barnes, Lynda Barnes, Wes Malott, Carolyn Dorin Ballard, and many others.  Some of these players have come from Arizona, California, New York, Florida, Kansas, Louisiana, Ohio, Oklahoma, and Nevada to bowl this tournament.  Not to mention the huge number of great Texas bowlers that are participating.  The winning couple will receive over $11,000 in prize money and that doesn't count anything they earn in brackets and side pots.

Good luck to all the players!!
