Revolutions Lanes host bowling tournament
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) — St. Joseph's top bowlers competed for a hefty prize Sunday afternoon in the Six-Gamer Handicap Tournament at Revolutions Lanes.
As part of the bowling alley's weekly sweeper series, players competed, practiced and warmed up for state and national bowling competitions.
First place at Sunday's competition won a $300 prize, as well as points added to their score for the end-of-year Points Tournament.
Jacqueline Menini, one of Sunday's competitors, discovered her love of bowling after being asked to sub for another player.
"I've been bowling for 21 years," Menini said. "I was asked to be a sub and I was hooked ever since."
Her decades of bowling experience paid off since she will compete at a tournament in Savannah, Missouri, next weekend and at Nationals in Kansas City at the end of April.
She encourages more St. Joseph residents to try bowling due to the sport's reflective nature.
"There's a lot of accountability," she said. "It's a lot about being honest with yourself and looking at the bigger picture while trying to zero in on what it is you're trying to accomplish."
Along with the alley's weekly sweepers, Revolutions Lanes will host a Missouri Masters tournament May 30 through June 1. To register for the tournament, visit the website btbowlingsupply.com or revolutionslanes.com.
