Builders Tee Club

It was 60 degrees Tuesday and I am sure many members would have rather been on the golf course, but Mike Kent wasn’t one of them. Mike started with a 297 first game and finished with a 731series leading his team to a 7 point sweep over Jack Parisi and his Galassi Stone squad and widening their lead to five points over Febel Bros In the A Division. In the B division, the two teams tied for first, Tri Star and Central Scale, split their games 4&3 and will go at it again next week in the position round.

Before I get to the top scores this week, I would like to report one I missed last week on the Hdcp Side: Phil Jurczewski had 292, 782. Good bowling Phil. Now on to this week’s scores: on the scratch side Jack Brown 248, 714, Gary Klonowski 246, 685, Hutch 244, 683, Dick Kerkstra 267, 683, Paul Riemer 256, 677, and Randy Samoska 258 game. On the Hdcp side: John Delano 265, 743, Gino Maira 251, 730, Jerry Jasinski 269, 717, Joe Egofske 258, 708, Bob Chudy 295, 701, Jack Parisi 264, and Phil Jurczewski 259.

BUILDERS TEE CLUB NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!!!!!!!!!

******BE A ROSTER BOOK SPONSOR******

Here we are at the start of another year, the 85th year in the clubs history. It’s time to begin compiling the Roster Book for 2012. As you know, the book includes ADS taken out by businesses owned or operated by members of the Club or by businesses that the club patronizes. The monies generated by these ads cover the costs of developing, printing and distributing the Roster Books. The cut-off date is March 15th. Don’t be late!!!!!!

.

We again appeal to those of you who have not previously taken an ad. You who own, operate, direct or control a company or are in a position to solicit an ad from the company for which you work, are being asked to consider taking an ad in this year's special edition. We also appeal to the various business enterprises, that the Builders Tee Club patronizes, to become a sponsor of the Roster Book. Your ad will be seen by all B.T.C. members, giving them a chance to use your services when needed. The cost is $100 for a full-page ad and $60 for a half-page ad. What a bargain!!!

.

Please send your checks and ad layouts (business cards or ??? ), if new or changed from last year, to the Treasurer, SCOTT CARTER, as soon as possible.

Jerry Maciejewski at 815-464-5958 or jerdeemac@yahoo.com can be contacted for any help you may need with your ad. We can then proceed with the development of the 2012 Builders Tee Club Roster Book. Your sponsorship, cooperation and support will be greatly appreciated by all of the BTC membership in this our 85th year.

Dues Reminder

To be eligible to compete in the Brosuis Doubles and regular league bowling, your dues must be paid before the start of bowling on 2/7/2012. As of January 31, almost 80% of our members have paid their 2012 BTC dues. I would like to encourage the remaining 20% to send your dues as soon as possible and please send the completed yellow sheet along also (no need to cut it in half), as it helps Jerry Maciejewski in filling out the roster book. Your 2012 Builders Tee Club Dues are past due as of January 31st. Please send your payment ASAP to remain an active member.

UPCOMING EVENTS

The Brosius Doubles tournament will be held on February 7th and 14th. One of the great events of the Builders Tee Club, for a mere $10 per partner you get two weeks of thrilling competition and a chance to win some great prizes. You don’t have to be a top bowler to win this tournament. Two years back, Arnie Carlstrom and Ron Miller cleaned up, who like myself, have their bowling averages firmly planted in the bottom third of the list. So everyone has a chance to win, but it’s like the lottery - you can’t win if don’t play.

BTC Singles Gin Rummy Tournament will be held February 7th and 14th @ 6:30 p.m. at Beggar's in Oak Forest in the Golf Room. Entry fee is $25 and includes food on the 7th courtesy of President Jack Samoska. If you don't want to play but be a spectator and eat, the cost is only $10. Contact Dick Kamin if interested in playing or for more information about the event.

Bowling Calcutta coming to a bowling alley near you March 2012.

St Pats Dinner March 13^th Mama Vesuvio's Rte. 83 and Ridgeland Avenue in Palos Heights. 6:30 PM.

Joke of the Week

TOP TEN REASONS MEN PREFER GUNS OVER WOMEN:

                                                            And here we go...

#10 - You can trade an old 44 for a new 22.
#9 - You can keep one gun at home and have another for when you're on the road.

#8 - If you admire a friend's gun and tell him so, he will probably let you try it out a few times.

#7 - Your primary gun doesn't mind if you keep another gun for a backup.

#6 - Your gun will stay with you even if you run out of ammo.

#5 - A gun doesn't take up a lot of closet space.

#4 - Guns function normally every day of the month.

#3 - A gun doesn't ask, "Do these new grips make me look fat?"

#2 - A gun doesn't mind if you go to sleep after you use it.

And the Number One reason why Men Prefer Guns over women…

#1 - You can buy a silencer for a gun.

My Grandmother is over eighty and still doesn't need glasses. Drinks right out of the bottle.

Good turnout considering how many people are away for the winter. 13 players. Some really good matches.

Charlie DiNolfo looked great with his new hairdo. The bandana added a menacing touch.

Thanks to Tom Dombro and Ed Wood for the pizza from Beggars. Ed Wood was able to find the restaurant this week with no problem.

Going into the first position round of the second half, Jan Michaels again leads the "A" division with 2 teams 5 points away. In the "B" division, the leader is Central Scale, followed by three teams within 4 points of first. For the second week in a row, Mike Kent lead the scoring with a 297 game and a 731 series. Jack Brown had the second best series with a 714. For the first time, two places were paid in the 3rd game scratch pot. Hopefully, the number of participants will allow two places every week. A reminder that the Brosius Doubles tournament starts next week. I will be there at 2 p.m. to start collecting the entries. Sponsor fee update - 15 paid, 1 to go.
