OTA 2022 Bowling Meeting Results

We had a good turnout at the 2022 Ozark Turf Association bowling meeting yesterday despite the weather forecast. We had 21 bowlers, along with 7 members who were fighting injuries (and/or old age) who watched and networked with each other at Enterprise Park Lanes in Springfield.

The winning team fired a 3-game total using 9 pin no tap scoring, of 1,821 pins beating the second-place team by 23 pins. Team members were Sam Richart, Golf Course Superintendent at Fremont Hills Country Club, Kolby Armbruster, Golf Course Superintendent at Ledgestone Country Club, Joey Johnston of Clear Creek Golf Cars and Utility Vehicles, and Wyatt Cantrell from GreensPro.. Each bowler won $25.

A prize was awarded to the person with the highest game, and that bowler was Scott Welsh, Golf Course Superintendent at Bill and Payne Stewart Golf Course, with a high game of 222. He won a $20 prize.

We also awarded prizes for the top three 3-game series. Scott Welsh ran away with that with a 577 series. He won $25 for that effort. Maron Towse, Golf Course Superintendent at Schifferdecker Golf Course and OTA President finished with a 518 series, taking home a prize of $20, and Joey Johnson finished in third one pin behind with a 517 series.

Our next meeting will be on March 29th, to be held at Betty Allison at Oscar Blom par 3 course. Our speaker will be Dr. Jared Hoyle with Corteva. His topic will be “Low Maintenance Roughs and Natural Areas for Golf Courses.” This meeting is presented in partnership by GreensPro. Check the website for more details. Please RSVP by March 23rd.
