Bowling For All Ages by Gregory Fein
Erma Yaney teammates at
Meridian Lanes are amazed that Erma at age 90 still bowls in two
senior leagues a week and is feisty as ever. Her averages last
year were 135 and 131 and she rarely missed her bowling days.
Her current achievements for this season has been a 202 game and
a 526 series. Way to go Ms. Yaney!
Ms. Yaneys accomplishments got us
to thinking how many 90 years old and older we have bowling in
Oklahoma City. A check of the senior leagues have uncovered the
following:
National Bowling Stadium to host 2011 USBC Open Championships!
 The United States Bowling Congress has reached an agreement to bring the 2011 USBC Open Championships to the National Bowling Stadium in Reno, Nevada
The 2011 Open Championships originally was scheduled to be
held in Osceola County, Florida at a new, 100-lane bowling
facility in the ESPN Wide World of Sports complex on land made
available by Walt Disney World. The current credit market
delayed funding for a key third party involved with the
construction project, jeopardizing the timeline for completion.
 12th
900 Bowled
Baltimore's Rich Jerome Jr. became the 12th bowler to roll
an approved 900 series December 22, 2008. The 29-year-old
right-hander had three consecutive 300 games in the Monday
Night Mixed League at Brunswick Perry Hall Lanes in Baltimore.
He was the first bowler in two years with 36 consecutive
strikes in the same series. The last 900 was rolled December 23,
2006 by P.J. Geisfeldt in Milwaukee.
