I can testify that Ray is an excellent teacher. Before I met Ray, my average had been hovering around the 170s for years. After some lessons and some new equipment, my average has moved into the 190s. (My present book average is 197.) If you want to improve your bowling, I urge you to get out to Diablo Valley Bowl on Monument Blvd in Concord for these drop-in clinics. Maybe I will see you there.

OPENING THE 2013-2014 SEASON

We're off to a hot 19-2 start.
The 2013-2014 season for the Friday Nite Trios at Castro Village Bowl is underway. We opened the new season with Rudy's Hot Mamas and eared a 7-point sweep. It helped that Rudy was a bit off his game, bowling about 125 pins under his average. Whatever the reason, we're happy to break out with a 7-0 record.

Our performance fell off a bit in week #3. We weren't particularly sharp but we pulled off two wins. However, our winning streak stopped at 8 games as we slumped to a score of 484 in the final game of the series. Honey & The Flaming Bees took advantage and dealt us our first loss of the season. We earned the extra point for total pinfall which gave us a 5-2 record for the night and 19-2 for the season.
