August 2005—Maple Leaf Classic XX was one of the best
birthday parties yet. Impossibly, out of 200
attendees, MLC had almost 70 bowlers who
have never attended a MLC Tournament before,
which is GREAT!
Pat Bottrall of
Grand Rapids whipped up a 300 game and a
good time was definitely had by all.
The MLC Classique awards were allocated as thus: Tournament
Tramp was Keith Kumler of Columbus,
OH; Tournament Virgin was won by
an 85-year old Joyce Frost, who has never
bowled in a tournament before and she says it
won’t be her last; Tournament Mess went to
none other than Steve Homer of Lansing,
MI (ask him why he won that); Tournament
Clown (a special award this year) went to Richard Cripps, a.k.a., Miss Hollywood Hollywood, this
years tournament MC; Most Hospitable
bowler went to Brad Steele (nope, not a
porn star) of Toronto; and, Nelliest bowler went
to Rick Wright of Grand Rapids, MI. Grand
Rapids has been the recipient of the Nelliest
bowler award for the past 3 years. Tells you
something about those Grand Rapids boys
doesn’t it? We might have to look at changing
the name...
