Address:
Creekside Lanes
1450 Trademart Blvd
Winston-Salem, NC
The hotel of choice seems to be the Extended Stay. They have the best rates and easy access to the bowling alley.
When the date gets a little closer I'll check with the ball companies and see what freebies we can get from them.
Hope to see all of you there this year.

Yes, Ron is still running the scotch doubles. Have to bring your own partner though. Seems to be a shortage of females in that area. If I remember correctly, the last time Pchee was there he found some at a place called Silver Fox if you need a partner.

Also, as mentioned on the other post, I will be hosting a no limit hold em poker tournament at my house again this year. I live 15 minutes from Creekside. I have a pool table and a dart board, so there might be a tournament for those as well. If nothing else, they will be available for those eliminated from the poker. If the weather is better this time, I might do some kind of cook out as well.

I'll be there, probably with Toma -- can't wait!!!That'll make the golf outing on the 26th then. Tanglewood had a $36 for the day special last year -- I'd assume they'd have it this year, too, but I'll check as the date approaches. Can't beat the price on a fantastic golf course!!

Beans (Beans Pro Shop) will be donating a bottle of his new "Secret Sauce" bowling ball polish. Hopefully the pro shop won't have an issue with us using their spinner for any one wanting to try it. If nothing else, I'll be happy to polish any equipment on my personal spinner for anyone wanting to try the product. All Beans asks is that every one who tries it posts a review.
I can hardly wait to see Jesse break double digits on the radar gun.

Toma...
Twins experience is going pretty well now. It started rough as Josh needed
to stay in the NICU (neonatel intensive care unit) as he was breathing
challenged for awhile.... then both he and Sharon had to get through a
jaundice episode.... so what started off with lots of drama has settled into
a good daily routine. Sharon has been sleeping though the night for nearly
two months, Josh is teasing us with the occasional full night.
I am getting lots of baby time as I am on a 9-month sabbatical from work and
playing "Mr. Mom"
They reached 5 month a couple days ago. (In fact, as I type this they are
both napping - one in my lap, the other over my shoulder.... - All I can
reach at the moment is the computer keyboard.)

How nice was the course at Tanglewood? Our company had an outing at Bryan Park and it's really nice. I played the Champions course (I believe the PGA plays here) for $47 last Friday. About $10 more than what Toma said Tanglewood cost. The Players course is a few bucks less. What kind of scores did you guys shoot last year? I just played my first few rounds in years, so I'm pretty bad. I might play, but don't want to slow you down too bad.
For the $36 to play all day, Tanglewood was one of the nicest public courses I've played!! There are 120+ bunkers, so you need your sand game and there's not too much water. It's not too long -- a real nice test of golf for sure! I shot a 74, but I don't usually go that low and I can't imagine I'll be anywhere near that since I haven't been able to touch a club coming off my hernia surgery....I don't remember what Toma shot -- he's got good game for a relative newbie!! It would be nice to get a couple or 3 foursomes!! And don't worry about what you usually shoot -- it's all about having a great time with some old and new friends!!

I just looked at the Tanglewood site. Looks pretty nice. On the virtual tour, #13 is a 395 yard par 3??? Hopefully the tee box is elevated 50 yards and the fairway is rock hard. The price says it's $37 for 18 with a cart. May's special says you can play all day for the same price during the week. Hopefully they'll do the same thing for June.

I forgot what your screen name was here.
We usually have 3 different patterns for the bragging rights tournament. I think Ron said the Reno pattern would be one of them. I don't know what the other two will be. I don't know if he has the pattern, but I'd like to see the TOC shot - 50', but fairly light oil. Sounds like a unique challenge. If that isn't possible, a modified Shark pattern might be a good choice for one of them. Maybe Cheetah or something short would be a good contrast for the other.

I was lucky to break 500 for team and double. Singles we just won't talk about.
That tourny should be a year long and they can get rid of the 7:00am squad, it should be outlawed. Nobody can gamble all night expect to bowl at 7:00am.
oh wait, I guess if you take out the gambling all night deal it might work better, if that was only the excuse I could use.

500 woud have been nice for ANY series there. My 4th Nationals in Reno, 2 Womens, 1 ABC, and 1 Open, this is the first I won't be getting a check
I beg of you, PLEASE don't put out anything that remotely resembles the "R" shot!!!

If anyone's bored Thursday night, they can tag along with me and watch me butcher the PBA league (Scorpion?).

Hey all....
Been trying to work out my way down to the gathering this year, but it is
just not possible. Between the twins (Toma should understand this) and my
planning a family reunion vacation in another state that starts on July 29th,
I just couldn't work it out. I was really looking forward to it and wanted
to bring the whole lot of us, but the logistics and driving time are just too
prohibitive.
Really wanted to see everyone even the crazy people that run the lanes.
And, I will certainly miss the great cookies.

ps... will make every effort for next year.

If you're not doing anything bowling related Saturday night, feel free to come over even if you don't play poker. There is also a pool table for those who play. I have a little home brew left to try. I've been really lazy lately and haven't made a batch in months. Depending on the weather, I might have a small cook out also.

Anyone who gets into town Thursday afternoon can come to my PBA experience league (Viper) if they want. After watching me suffer, there is always plenty of time afterwards to give them a shot. I would especially like someone in another PBA league to give them a try. Our scores seem lower than many report here. I'd like to see if we don't have many talented bowlers or if the shot is tougher than average.

Just wanted to say thanks to Ron and all the staff at Creekside for being such excellent hosts! Everything went smoothly on "Ron Time".
100% Ditto. For those of you who don't know what "Ron Time" is, you'll just need to show up at the gathering next year to find out. We had a good time. Even my wife, who admittedly enjoys watching bowling but not participating, got into the action and enjoyed herself immensely. What did you people do to her? As a side note, she finished 2nd in the bragging rights tournament while I finished 2nd last. Luckily, she's been merciful so far.
This having been my first gathering, I was a little worried about meeting everyone else. I've been to gatherings of online communities for other reasons before and have had bad experiences. For any of you who are considering going to a gathering, let me tell you, this is a fun bunch of people to be around. I think I forgot we're talking about bowlers here, the most down-to-earth people out there. For everyone whom we met, we're glad we did.
The only problems were not having enough time to spend with everyone, missing some people that couldn't make the trip, and cutting the annual tournament short a game. For some reason, people wanted to eat instead of bowl. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around that concept.
We're already looking forward to next year. Ron, Strider, everyone else, let us know if there's anything we can do to pitch in and help organize, promote, or what have you, for next year.
