The Carolina Keglers is a very low-key fun league for women and men over 50 who want a little recreation.
They bowl on Wednesday mornings at 10 a.m. at Autumn Lanes in Forest City. New bowlers are welcome at any time during the season.
Bowlers keep statistics on their performance for the season. The game average is simply the total pins divided by the number of games bowled. A series is three games, those averages are kept as well.
A handicap is applied to each bowler according to their average, so that teams can complete fairly.
The results posted here in the Bulletin highlight how bowlers fared compared to their average performance.
So a bowler with a 150 average who rolls a 190 would be listed as +40 =190.
Here are the results of the bowling on Wednesday, Oct. 23.

High games over average:
Dave Ritchie +70 = 202
Mac Bond +42 = 162
Bret Diedrich +34 = 159
Charles Painter +33 = 171
Henry Zahn +33 = 184

High series over average:
Dave Ritchie +77 = 474
Charles Painter +60 = 474
Walt Flaschar +60 = 469
Mac Bond +51 = 412
