Dad Wins Molson Masters Bowling Tournament in Windsor:)

Dad's Article in the Windsor Star

Dad is the one in the picture, but skip down to about halfway to get to Dad's part!

I'm so proud of Him. He's very passionate about his bowling, and he's worked so hard for this. We heard all last week how excited his was to qualify for the tournament, and how nervous he was to be on TV. He was so worried his was going to "choke", and in the end he exceeded his expectations. You Go Daddio! This is so my Dad:

In the senior men's final, Essex's Richard McCloskey fired a sizzling 237 to comfortably win his first Molson's title.

The 63-year-old McCloskey beat his old friend Sid Scott, who tossed a solid 215.
"I told him before we even started the day that I wanted to face him in the final," McCloskey said.
"I wanted to win, but if I wasn't going to win, I'd be happy losing to a good friend.
"He taught me a lot about how to bowl."
The turning point in the match came midway through the contest when Scott got stung with a dreaded seven-10 split.
With McCloskey heating up with a string of strikes, he was able to exploit the open frame to seize control of the match.
"I just had to control my nerves," McCloskey said.
"I was nervous all week. I've never been on TV before."
McCloskey said if he could control his nerves, he was in fine form the past week.
On Wednesday at Ruthven's Empire Lanes, he'd rolled a 300 game. McCloskey had also tossed two 700-plus series this week.
"I'm really proud to win this," McCloskey said.
"Every bowler here is very good. Every bowler here I felt was actually better than I was.
"I was fortunate to come out on top and I'm feeling pretty good having never been in this position before."

So Dad is going to donate part of his winning to the Junior Bowlers that are going to BC from Ruthven. What a guy! That's a total Dad thing to do:) xoxo

What a Smile!

 

Holy Trophy!

I wonder what he's thinking right now:)
