Bowlers Wanted For SU and ESF Faculty and Staff Bowling League

Do you enjoy bowling? Would you like to try bowling? Do you want a fun activity with your colleagues?

The Syracuse Univesity and SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY ESF) Faculty and Staff Bowling League is seeking new members. This is a fun handicap, non-sanctioned league accepting bowlers who are currently employed at the SUNY ESF or the University. Skill level does not matter; the beginner to high average bowler will be accepted. Beginners will be encouraged and coached by the more experienced and skilled bowlers. On Tuesdays from September through April, the league bowls at the Village Lanes at 201 E Manlius St, East Syracuse, from 4:55 to 7:30 p.m. Practice bowling is 10 minutes before the league starts. Weekly fees are about $15 each week.

This league has a long history of bowling in the area, from Drumlins in the ’60s to the present day. Members have always been recruited from the University and SUNY ESF community. Last year, the league successfully recruited several new members; unfortunately, a few members will not be returning. New members who would like to join a team full-time or become league subs are encouraged to join. Each team consists of four bowlers with one or two substitutes. As an incentive, fees for league subs are paid by the team.

League play starts Wednesday, Sept. 12. A practice session will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 5; those interested are welcome to come and check out the league and teams.

Captains are Ray Leach, Aaron Knight, Jason LaTray, Dana Cooke, Eric Greenfield, Randy Money, Sue Taylor-Netzband and Mike Satchwell.
