Dear Tournament Bowlers, 

Welcome! It has been a rough month since the shocking news was publicly revealed about the closing of Lucky Jacks and the pains of organizing displaced bowlers’ mid-season. Now is the time for optimism! So many times, when a door closes in life another one opens. In this case, the door is The Landing Zone and we are proud to welcome you.

We are unique, a bowling center led by a group of Veterans on a special non-profit service mission to help Veterans deal with the challenges of everyday life from serving our country. Our board gains nothing personally from your participation in the tournament; 100% of the revenue goes to help Veterans and others in need. We are excited to continue a 58-year tradition and give purpose that YOU can help make happen. A real Tournament FOR Champions that no other tournament can match. 

We are excited to keep the tournament Up North, with even easier travels for many. Gaylord offers a broad range of overnight and recreational options for you, your friends, and your family, not just on tournament weekends but with year-round adventures awaiting. 

The timing is perfect, as we have just completed major upgrades to the facility, with the ribbon cutting of The Landing Zone only a month ago. Our 24-lane center, complete with restaurant, full bar, live entertainment, a large arcade, ample parking, and nearby lodging available makes The Landing Zone the perfect place to carry on your traditions and add new ones. 

Consider this your personal invitation to drop in and see us! Enclosed below is the official entry form for the 59th Annual Northern Michigan Championship event. We encourage you to reserve your spots early before they fill. Additional information will be posted, including our live entertainment schedule and room blocks. Postings can be found on The Landing Zone Facebook, The official 59th Northern Michigan Championship Tournament page, and here on our website tournament information page. 

Questions can be submitted via the website, by calling 989-732-3574, or via email to the Tournament administrator, at: thenorthern.thelandingzone@gmail.com
