Bowling at BPOE #249 — click to viewOld Moscow Elks Lodge bowling lanes — winter of 1953 – spring of 1954?
Is the tournament on Sept. 28th. mixed or men with men, women with women? What is the cost? Is it shotgun or tee times? Thank you.
Apologies for getting back to you so late. We’ve been wrapping up camping season and I was locked out of the web site because of technical issues between First Step and Verizon.
The tournament was to be matched individuals, low with high, etc. regardless of gender. Handicaps can be adjusted through USGA approved formulas to allow women to compete on an equal footing with men. It could have been two men, two women or a mixed team as the handicaps dictated the pairings. It would have been shotgun on Sunday (18 hole)
There would have been no entry fee for season pass holders with the funding coming from a Calcutta auction Friday preceding. Brad Anderson checked on the liability of lodge in holding a Calcutta pool and it appears that Calcutta auctions are a thing of the past in Idaho law.
They are held in other clubs but we appear to be too visible to the authorities to risk the side affects. I hope we can restructure this to make it work next year.
Again I’m sorry for the delay in responding.
