NEW league forming
Al-Mar has rolled out a new league with a unique format. It is promoted as being “for novice bowlers with experience in drinking.” OH NO — could it be bowlers who imbibe? Yes. It is called the “Bowling With Wine/ Craft Beer League.” Bowling on Friday evenings, the four person teams will be served two glasses of wine or two beers as part of their league fees. Bowlers must be 21 or older. The league will use a no-tap scoring system where nine pins knocked down on the first ball counts as a strike. The cost is $15 per week per bowler.
Each team will consist of four bowlers, men, women or any combination. Two games are bowled each night. The short season league begins Feb. 23 and bowls every Friday at 6 p.m. through May 18. Bowlers will sample new beers and wine each week. Call Al-Mar at 419-352-4637 to sign up your team.
