As is usual when NEBA comes to Westgate Lanes, I caught the Sunday afternoon squad, and I should say that they put out a tough condition this weekend: instead of the usual Coke Classic pattern, it was decided that the Kegel “Highway To Hell” pattern would be used. As it is a flat pattern and perhaps the most difficult of the Kegel Navigation Sport series patterns, nearly everyone had struggles with it, and, when I get to posting the result sheet on the NEBA site, you should find the cut scores to be lower than usual.
I did introduce myself to the one big New England gun that I had wanted to meet, but hadn’t had the opportunity to until today: Jonathan Van Hees, whom I’ve noted on this blog a number of times in connection to his exploits on the PBA Tour. I pretty much left him alone to bowl, but after the squad was over, I asked him if he would be participating in the upcoming World Series of Bowling in Detroit, and he told me he had not made that decision yet.
