THANK YOU to all 232 bowlers, guests, and volunteers participating in our 41st Annual Dogwood Invitational Bowling Classic in Atlanta, GA, March 28-31, 2024. We are ecstatic you joined us, had fun the IGBO way, and helped us put on another successful tournament! Our traditional post-tournament audit is complete, scores are certified, and checks are signed! Certified Dogwood 2024 results are available to view/download/print!
Atlanta currently does not have an IGBO-sponsored summer season bowling league. However, local Brian Gordon is hosting an Atlanta “Summer Bowling Camp” at Bowlero Lilburn. It’s a six-week, casual set of Saturday sessions starting at 12 noon, beginning June 1, and ending July 6th. It’s a great time to practice, perhaps with a new ball or technique. Optional bowling coaching is provided.
You can now order Dogwood 2024 shirts and other merchandise options online! Each year, Dogwood celebrates a color of the LGBTQ+ Flag. This year – show your PURPLE. Dogwood has partnered with official IGBO merchandiser ST4L Sports and created an online merchandise swag store. Our online store has over 20 items (now with a purple option and other standard colors).
Thank you to all the bowlers who signed up for Dogwood’s inaugural Virtual Team Challenge in January 2024. We will expand on this next year as we have gotten great feedback on the event. We had 18 teams participate. We are paying out the top three team placements.
Sign up with a partner for the Dogwood Virtual Sweetheart Doubles Mini-Tournament! A fun and easy, virtual handicap tournament using league scores from first two weeks (6 games) of normal bowling in February 2024.
This is a fundraiser for the Dogwood Invitational Bowing Classic. You can purchase a square on our Super Bowl LVIII AFC vs. NFC football game board. Squares are $10 each. Payouts are $125 for Q1, Q2, Q3, and Final Game Score. AFC and NFC ending score digits will be randomly selected the morning of Super Bowl Sunday, Feb 12, 2023, and posted live on our Dogwood FB Group page. https://www.facebook.com/groups/dogwoodbowl
Your Team Virtually Plays Against Other IGBO Teams: Sign up any four IGBO league members—even those in different leagues. You (individually) can bowl in as many virtual 4-person team combinations as you want. Your handicap bowling scores during League play the week of January 20th, 2024, count towards your team(s) aggregate scores. Team Payout is 1:8. Handicap is 90% of 240. Bowl against local, regional, or national teams across the IGBO community. Is your team up to the challenge?
Dogwood 2024 returns to the more conveniently accessible Atlanta Marriott North East/Emory area just off I-85. Our hotel rate is an incredible $99/night for single and quad. Our rate did not go up from Dogwood 2023 either! These are rates we had back in 2008! Take that inflation!!
The Dogwood 2024 committee is excited to announce our Dogwood Holiday No-Tap Tournament. It will be held on Saturday, December 2, 2023, at Bowlero Lilburn – our official tournament house. Bring an unwrapped, boxed, or packaged toy. We will donate the toys to “Toys for Tots.” For each toy you bring, you get a 50/50 raffle ticket.
