The Carolina Keglers is a very low-key fun league for women and men over 50 who want a little recreation and a little exercise.

The emphasis is on fun, not competition. Bowlers are placed on a new team each week. Stats are kept for individuals, not for teams.

This format is quite different from traditional bowling leagues, but the Keglers seem to really enjoy it. They bowl on Wednesday mornings at 10 a.m. at Autumn Lanes in Forest City.

The lanes are made of real wood, rare in today’s synthetic world.

Following are the highlights of the bowling on Wednesday, Jan. 8:

High games over average:

Mike Davidson +54 = 219

Kay Shockley +46 = 173

Dianne Poague +33 =183

Chuck Ott +32 = 177

Dave Ritchie +31 = 170

High series over average:

Mike Davidson +53 = 551

Kenneth Williams +42 = 382

Ruby Drew +39 = 418

Dianne Poague +34 = 486

Bret Diedrich +32 = 376

Anyone wishing to join the Carolina Keglers, should contact Mike Davidson at 828-894-5823 or email kwk1970@windstream.net.

Members are asked to call Davidson when they cannot bowl.
