Ann and her brother Ed Walker were both in the money at the
Rossmoor opening day tournament.

It is safe to come outside now ladies. You have passed all white inspection.

Rossmoor Opening Day - 100 players + 26 more from Palo Alto.

Even tournament director Pete doesn't know why you can't bowl if your hat is not white! Only in Rossmoor. Not in US rule book!

Maybe this is where Bud learned his delivery stance!
