Congratulations Princess Kerry Billings &
Prince, L.T. Ingram

The California USBC Prince/Princess Tournament for bowlers with a 175 or lower average, was held at Tyme To Bowl Lanes in Oroville on October 17 – 19, 2008.  The handicapped tournament consisted of a six (6) game Singles Event (2 three game blocks), changing lanes each block. 

Congratulations to our Prince, L. T. Ingram from Imperial Valley USBC and our Princess, Kerry Billings from the Santa Clara County USBC.                                                                           

Our Princess, Kerry posted a total score of 1399 to win her division.  Kerry and her family moved to California in 1974 and have been bowling since that time.  At 9 years of age, Kerry was asked to sub for a friend’s team, which was the beginning of 30 years of bowling so far, while meeting and making many friends along the way.  In 2007, Kerry took a break from bowling to have some heart surgery.  She’s completely recovered and healthy now.  Her plans for the future include increasing the number of tournaments she’s bowling in and devoting more spare time to learn and grow more in her favorite sport.  Kerry is currently serving on the Santa Clara County USBC Board of Directors.

Our Prince, L.T. Ingram posted a total score of 1400 to win his division.  L.T. began bowling at the age of 32 in 1965, in a company league, Richfield Oil Co, (now known as Arco).  At the time he retired from Arco in 1985, L.T. was bowling most of his leagues at Cal Bowl in Lakewood.  During all his years of bowling, L.T. posted a high game of 289 and several 700 series.  His highest average was a 204.  For the past several years, L.T. and wife Joyce have been bowling at the Sports Alley on the Naval Air Facility near their home.  In June 2008, the new El Centro Brunswick Zone XL opened it doors in the Imperial Valley and L.T. and his wife are now enjoying this beautiful new center, bowling one league a week.  L.T. also had some major surgery this past year and is recovering nicely.

A total of 56 Men bowled in the Prince Tournament and 222 Ladies bowled in the Princess Tournament this year.  The prize fund was based on the number of entrants in each division, paying a ratio of 1 for each 6 entries.
