2nd 🥈 Jim Audas, Angie Irwin, Alfonso Madrigal
3rd 🥉 Tie! Barry Hand, Andy Martindale, Rob Evans, Ron Irwin, Andy Carnaghe, Kari Martindale

Thanks to everyone who came out to play! And to Kat for the donuts 🍩 and Theresa for the cookies 🍪😋

Presenting: The 2026 Eileen Morton 2-Bowl Triples champions! 🏆

This is SBLBC’s annual open tournament in honor of our dear friend Eileen Morton, and the only tournament in the Southwest with a Power Play! 💥 Teams from Cambria to San Diego to everywhere in between braved the temps and competed valiantly for the cup. This year ended with a three-peat victory for SBLBC’s mother/son/wife team, as well as some new and familiar faces taking 2nd and 3rd.

🥇 Tamara Murray, Chris Trenschel, Susan Trenschel
🥈 Rob Humphrey, Nancy Santos, Tony Santos
🥉 Jack Bucey, Gloria Brown, Tim Adkins

HUGE thank yous to Jim Morton, Eileen’s husband, for sponsoring lunch 🥪, to Angie Irwin and Becky Rinaldi for running the tournament 📢, and to all of the SBLBC volunteers who made tasty snacks, set up, passed out ice cream, and welcomed 14 teams of bowlers.

Maybe next year we’ll fill both greens since we’ll have our brand new turf! Someone has already suggested we play both grass and turf and call it a surf n’ turf. Who’s in???

Thanks to all of the competitors for visiting sunny Santa Barbara! 😎 See you next year

Summer League winners have been crowned 👑 This was a season for the gents to shine! Both teams faced off against all-women’s teams who were reigning champs.

On the grass, The Bowl Crushers prevailed over last season’s champs The Triple AAA’s. And on the turf, Bowls Royce faced off against the Grass Gals. The competition was fierce, and then we all went from fierce to friendly over shared tacos. Thanks for the good times, everyone!

🏆 Turf Champs: Bowls Royce
David Barks, Laird Riddell, Beau Gardiner

Celebrating 20+ years of service — before we tear it up and throw it away!

Join us Sept 10th, for a once-in-a-lifetime chance to experience a sunset session on our green with light bites, a cash bar, live music, and a few surprises before we send off the old surface in style. This is also our final push to close the gap on our new green fundraiser — every ticket gets us closer so invite a friend!

We hope you can join us and enjoy another beautiful SB sunset while enjoying the old turf in a way we never have before.

This is a 21+ event. Tickets can be purchased on our site, see link in bio, or at the door.

The Graffy Blind Draw Triples is a club favorite because it has arguably the coolest trophy 🏆 and honors the memory of former bowler Chuck Graffy. Hosted annually by his son in law Jim Garcia and, until recently, his daughter and Jim’s late wife, Erin, it’s a reminder that we’re bowlers forever and that this sport means so much to so many. 💚

1st place 🥇: Zohe Felici, Setic Lo (back from Hong Kong!), Larry Williams
2nd place 🥈: Ellie Jones, Mark Hreha, Scott C***s
3rd place 🥉(not pictured): Bruce Walter, Jim Audas, Christophe Sarafian
4th place: Michelle Dang, Alfonso Madrigal, Kat Dowling
