Greater Hamilton USBC Bowlers:
On behalf of the entire Greater Hamilton USBC Board, we extend a warm welcome to everyone to the Greater Hamilton USBC 2024-2025 season. We are again excited to have the opportunity to help you, the bowler, enjoy the wonderful sport of bowling in the Greater Hamilton USBC area. We will continue to support bowlers in every way possible.
The Greater Hamilton USBC awards program continues to recognize superior achievements and we are working to grow our youth programs that provide structure and development for the young people in our area including sharing the many scholarship opportunities available through bowling!
We will be hosting several local tournaments to foster competition and comradery. We’ve added two new tournaments this season: 1st Annual Southwest Queens Tournament (October 13th) and the 1st Annual Senior Doubles Tournament (November 24th), both will be held at Gilmore Lanes this season. Our Annual GHUSBC Open Tournament will be held at Oxford Lanes January 25th-26th and February 1st-2nd , Annual Women’s Tournament will be held Rollhouse Fairfield February 22nd-23rd and March 1st-2nd, and the Annual Youth Tournament will be held at Oxford Lanes March 22nd-23rd. Entry blanks are already available at your local GHUSBC Center and online registration will be available very soon.
