It’s true! We are hosting the ultimate Junior Gold Tournament at Silver Creek Lanes March 29th.

What makes this event such a draw?
You’ll compete on three sport shot oil patterns in one day — Short, Medium, and Long — similar to what you might experience at Junior Gold Nationals. This is a fantastic opportunity to test your skills, make adjustments, and prepare for the biggest youth event in bowling.

For bowlers still striving to qualify this year, this is your chance to compete and sharpen your game.

And if you’ve already qualified, you’ll still want to bowl this event for the ultimate sport shot experience and valuable tournament preparation.

Thanks to the Oregon Grand Prix Scholarship Fund, entry is low due to sponsoring additional spots!

Junior Gold Membership is required in addition to your standared USBC card. Here is the link: https://apps1.bowl.com/Checkout/JuniorGold/Cart/

A big thank you to Gerald Morrow with BPAA / Bowling University for traveling from Texas to Portland to lead an excellent training session.

Gerald walked us through the growing role of Artificial Intelligence in our industry, demonstrating how tools like ChatGPT, Canva, and others.

AI platforms can help centers improve marketing, streamline communication, generate creative ideas, and save valuable time.

The session provided practical takeaways that operators can immediately put to use in their businesses.

We also appreciated the opportunity to network while continuing the discussion about the future of our industry.

Thank you again, Gerald, for your time, expertise, and enthusiasm!
