The combined U.S. Open events featured a
prize fund of more than $400,000.
Minnesota USBC Bowling Week
Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton recently declared Aug. 3
-9 as
Minnesota USBC Bowling Week
. The proclama-
tion cites bowling's contribution toward healthy living
through exercise, promotion of bowling as a lifelong
sport for all ages and the state's support of Minnesota
veterans through Bowlers to Veterans Link, Bowl for
the Cure, Matt Lang Youth Scholarship Tournament
and Junior Gold Qualifying Tournament.
For many Marines, a "300" score on the physical fit-
ness test is perfection. For Master Gunnery Sgt. Mark
Gleason, "300" also happens to be perfection in his
beloved hobby - bowling. The bandmaster of the U.S.
Marine Corps Forces', Pacific Band bowled his first
perfect game after more than 20 years while bowling in
a mixed league at
K-Bay Lanes
(Keneohe, Hawaii).
