Up Your Alley

Our 2022-23 bowling season is coming to a close. The GPYC bowling leagues had a great time and we have had some very exciting highlights to share with members this season.

We held our 1st annual GPYC vs. DAC Ladies Interclub in March, and things went exceptionally well. Again, the GPYC put on a great show. Joyce Rubino led the GPYC with a handicap score of 653 and teamed up with Connie Buffa to win the doubles with a score of 1275. Overall, the GPYC won by a total of 544 pins.

During the 2nd half-season, we held our Men's and Ladies Club Championships. I am happy to report we had a winner in the men's division and a surprise in the ladies competition. In the men's, our 2023 champion is Juergen Rochert. Juergen bowls in the Wednesday Night League and had a winning score of 705. In the finals, he beat out JP Lang (695) and Chris Izzi (680) to win the prestigious award. This is Juergen's first season bowling, and he improved tremendously over the season. In our ladies division, the finals came down to Cynthia Rochert, Gloria Hinz, and Marylou Corrigan. Coming down to the final night, Cynthia posted a score of 670. Marylou posted a score of 678. Gloria was bowling in the 10th frame, not knowing what she needed in the 10th frame, then made a difficult split and ended up tied with a 678 series. Therefore, for the 2023 season, we had ladies co-champions. Congratulations to all of our champions. Back by popular demand, we will offer Friday night open bowling during the summer months.

Starting July 7 the lanes will be available from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. To guarantee you have a lane each Friday, you can purchase a 6-week package for $240. We get busy in the summer, so buying a package is a good idea.

Just a reminder: bowlers will be recognized at our annual awards banquet on May 6.

Thank you,
