He finished his second game with five strikes in a row and then started his third game with seven in a row! Pretty hard to get 12 strikes in a row at any time. Good job! We do have some very good bowlers.

Our October dinner was at the Sizzler restaurant. A great time was had by all. We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Bowling Hank Fleischer, 714-272-3684 November's paddle tournament brought us a lot of winners! One player stood out in the ladies division and that was none other than the talented Colleen Ray. The men's group was a little more complicated with the three-way tie of Bruce Ray, Tom McClure and Scott Daniels. Congratulations to all our winners! These tournaments occur monthly, and are a time to have some fun competition or to mingle with friends and enjoy our breakfast table. They are held on the first Friday of every month. Plan to join us for the next one! The Racquet Club has many activities under its umbrella. Not only are tennis and paddle tournaments offered, but there is also a monthly ladies potluck for players and their friends, social play at the courts in the mornings, and group dinners are available to members. To learn more about the Racquet Club and its activities, call me at 619-550-8194. Our membership dues are $10 per year. Why not be a part of the fun? Hope to see you on the courts!
