TIN PIN FUN CENTER IN TURLOCK

The complete parking lot at the Ten Pin Fun Center in Turlock has been paved, and it is a big lot. The front and sides of the center has had windows installed. The day I drove by, there must have been at least 12 utility trucks small and large parked on the curb in front of the center working.

HAUGEN CAPTURES THE PBA50 PLAYER OF YEAR

Michael Haugen Jr. has sealed up the 2018 PBA50 Player of the Year award. He totaled 28,500 points to out distance Norm Duke (20,014), Ron Mohr (19,721), and Walter Ray Williams Jr. (19,027) from contention.

I know that our area bowlers remember Haugen rolling at Yosemite Lanes this year in the Vanessa Brown Homes Pro-am and the West/Northwest PBA regional. A group from Bellevue rolled with Haugen last year.
