BOUCHARD BAGS GOLD
Cole Bouchard of Yellowknife captured the Senior Boys gold medal at the Youth Bowling Council national championships in Hull, Quebec with a last match victory. Bouchard led the field all day until the second last match when the Yukon bowler won his game and Cole lost dropping him into second place. Cole's final game win coupled with the Yukon bowler's loss catapulted him back into the gold medal position. For all of the scores and to check the results of our other bowlers go to: www.bpac.ca/Y5.htm
This seems to be the month for questions. I have just received the following question from a documentary television production company:
"This year our
company is planning a 13-episode season covering some of
North
America’s most unique weddings -- this is where your
bowling
association comes in... I was wondering if you know of any
upcoming
‘bowling-themed’ weddings?"
If you know of any
such planned event and would like to share the details with the
possibility of being involved in the production please send me an e-mail with the details and I will
pass them along.
2002 Canadian Open 5 Pin Bowling Championships, Winnipeg, Manitoba, May 21-26
I received a question today from Peter Lynch and couldn't answer it. Does anyone know where the term "turkey" for three strikes came from? If you know please send an e-mail and I'll post the answer here.
Harvey Waye
provided the answer all the way from a ship somewhere in the middle
east. Harvey writes, "According to the American Bowling Congress the
term "turkey" dates back to before the turn of the 20th century. In those
years scoring was much more difficult and to get three strikes in a
row
was considered quite an achievement. During Thanksgiving or
Christmas proprietors would give a live turkey to the first person on each
team who scored three strikes in a row. The term caught on and has carried
over ever since." Believe it or not!
