Family Bowlaway recently held its first in-house handicap tournament. The event was for those who bowl in a league at the center, and Tracy Rose and Doug Mason won the women's and men's division, respectively.

Rose rolled a 762 total and Mason tossed a 799. Rounding out the top five for the women were Julie Fitzpatrick (762), Rose DiMichele (736), Michelle Drobezko (719) and Kiersten Cerminara (705).

For the men, Mike Keefer finished second with a 795, followed by Brandon Green (790), Eric Jolly (763) and Matt McCarthy, (762).

Rose and Mason each received some prize money and free bowling in one league for the 2008-09 season.

This is a great idea for a bowling center and something that others should consider.
