Ron Clifton .. NC get together of BR members
« on: May 30, 2004, 05:05:30 AM »
I was one of the BR members that went to RON'S bowling center in WINSTON SALEM NC. Ron was a TERRIFIC HOST and had activities to keep her busy THROUGH-OUT the day. I got there SATURDAY at 10 AM just in time to join the group for BREAKFAST on RON!

From there we went to bowl on six alleys that had three different conditions. The group was broked down so that everyone bowled two games on each pair. During the bowling Ron and his son were busy taking pictures that I'm sure he will put on the site as soon as this weekend is over.

When the session was over we continues to bowl on the six lanes .. some bowled clear through 9 PM. We bowled so late that we had trouble trying to find a RESTAURANT to have dinner. We finally did get a place open where we ate and then visited the KRISPY KREME DONUT shop where we had coffee and FRESH donuts .. we left there about MIDNIGHT.

There's a lot more to tell about the people that were there and the bowling fun. I want to leave the door open for others to tell their story.

I want to make sure I thank Ron his lovely wife and his son for making my stay there more then enjoyable. I'm already looking forward to NEXT YEAR!

Sunday night we went to a Japanese steakhouse and watched Ron drive the cook nuts.  No shrimp for you!

Whaaaaaaaa! Shrimp is my favorite no matter how it is fixed.

PS: Strider, you and I have talked to each other a few times in the past. Glad to see what you look like. I'll let you keep wondering about my looks.

Well, I have been away from my computer for some time but finally I can post.  I did enjoy the trip up to Ron's place its a very nice little house.  I had a lot of fun only wish there could have been more people there but the ones who did come were great.  I am happy to say my knee is ok I did go to the Dr. and everything looks good and I have been bowling on it since the trip.  It was fun for the 4 games I made it through but had I been 100% I couldn't have kept up with straightup7,strider, and Andy they are all great bowlers.  Thongprincess is very nice and has a very good and consistent shot, and she is left handed which really makes her great.  JoeFalco is a specimen indeed I haven't ever seen so much energy out of someone even my age I hope I have half of what he does when I am 73 years old. He is a still throwing 16#'s and is still a great bowler. Andy although not a BR member was a very nice guy and a great bowler and Strider as Joe said once he found his line was very dangerous and very nice guy to talk to.  Straightup7 doesn't impress me but thats just cause I have to bowl with him here in charlotte all the time.  Seriously though he is also a great bowler.  Boytoy throws it pretty good he just needs some thing to grab the lane a little earlier and not throw it so hard but him and his (girlfriend/wife?) were both very nice people.  Ron seems very nice and honestly seems to want to help everyone become a better bowler.  I would suggest visiting him if your game needs help I know I will definitely be scheduling a formal lesson with him in the near future.  Thanks to everyone see you all next year and hopefully we can fill up the house.

I should just quit bowling, oh wait I already tried that.
Now that I am back and my Saws are sharp again, I am ready to cut some wood.

Ron and Creekside lanes are great!

I had a friend who's a regional champ and pro visiting in Western Carolina.
We wanted to meet somewhere me in VA.

We decided to meet at Creekside and hang out.  We had a great time with Ron and bowling and hanging out.  It's just one of those places or he's just one of those guys!

My friend is still excited about it!
