Open Bowling is offered throughout the week, and members may drop in at any session. Come as often as you like.

Special Note – Monday Daytime: During Monday daytime Open Bowling, Australian Pairs (2‑4‑2) will be played.

  • The lead delivers two bowls,

  • The skip delivers four bowls,

  • The lead delivers two bowls again,

  • Roles are reversed on the next end.

Jitney Bowling

Jitney Bowling is held on most Saturdays and follows a similar drop‑in format, with two games separated by a short break.

  • Each player contributes $2,

  • Monetary prizes are awarded at the end of the Jitney,

  • The atmosphere remains friendly but slightly more competitive.

Note Regarding Daytime Start Times

Start times for daytime Open Bowling and Saturday Jitneys changes in July and August due to the heat. During May, June, September and October start time is 1:30 pm. In the warmer summer months of July and August, the start time changes to the morning at 9:30 am.

Team Formation
