Wii Bowling

  • March 2025

Wii Bowling is in full swing now. There are 56 teams that enjoy this activity every Monday from 4 to 8 p.m. Come see what all the fun is about!

For Wii bowlers that are unable to play, here are some tips. First, there are 80 substitutes on the substitute list that comes out every week with the weekly standings for each team. However, please delete the names of Ed Furphy who has passed and Peggy Schankin, who no longer lives in VCC, from this list. Sometimes it takes quite a few phone calls to get a substitute.

If you are unable to find a substitute after numerous tries, you are allowed two vacancies during your game. First, however, you cannot have more than one absent bowler (score taken of 150 with no handicap) or one substitute (virtual bowler with a handicap) per game. As an example, Dennis and I can bowl. One of us must bowl with the absent teammate and the other of us must bowl with the substitute. You may have two absent bowlers or two substitute bowlers, just not in the same game. You do not have to forfeit if you have two team members bowling. Also, A SUBSTITUTE CAN ONLY SUB ONCE PER EVENING!

We’ve had a couple of 300 scores already this season. Mike Deminsky and Kristen Elliott have each had perfect games! Congratulations!

Let’s continue to enjoy this great game. Thank you for being courteous, being on time and picking up after yourselves when you’re done bowling. Our committee members are ready to help whenever you need assistance. And please remember to tip our wonderful servers.
