Bakersfield’s Dan Long is celebrating his first-ever PBA Regional
Title—the PBA Sands Regency West/Northwest Winter Classic
presented by Motiv. Long emerged from a field of 57 bowlers and
became the sixth seed after bowling his seven games of qualifying.
The event was held at the National Bowling Stadium in Reno. The
event ran from January 10-12. Bowlers bowled on the USBC
White pattern.
Long held off 10-time world champion and number four seed Tetsuya Kobayashi of Japan for the title (257-190). In the Round of 8
(best of three games), Long defeated Darryl Okamoto, from Honolulu, Hawaii, 3-0. He then proceeded on to the semi-final round
and defeated Cris Ferreira, from Visalia, 259-248 before taking on
his championship final match against Kobayashi.
Long, fresh off winning the Modesto 6-Gamer back on December
8, averaged 240 for qualifying and averaged 250 in match play. He
said winning this title brought a “tear in my eye!”
A new resident to Bakersfield, Long moved here this past summer
from northern California. He has bowled since the age of 3 which
now makes it 35 years. Long, a lefty, was the only one to win all
his matches in match play. He won $2,000 for this first title as well
as received 25,000 PBA points.
THE COLUMBIA
300 FORTY
FRAME GAME TO
JOIN USBC OPEN
CHAMPIONSHIPS
AT NBS
By Matt Cannizzaro
ARLINGTON, Texas - The Forty
Frame Game and the United States
Bowling Congress have agreed on a
partnership that will bring the popular
tournament to the National Bowling
Stadium's Showcase Lanes in 2014,
and Columbia 300 will serve as the
event's title sponsor.
The Columbia 300 Forty Frame
Game, which started in 1989, has been
held in the same host city as the USBC
Open Championships since 1992, but
Reno, Nev., in 2014 will mark the first
time for the two events to be held in the
same venue.
"The Columbia 300 Forty Frame
Game draws thousands of competitors
each year with its fun format and
unique jackpots, and we're looking forward to adding it to the variety of
events at the NBS," said Brian Lewis,
USBC Managing Director of Tournaments. "We saw last year that bowlers
love the convenience of the on-site side
tournaments, and the uniqueness of
The Columbia 300 Forty Frame Game
will ensure that bowlers of all skill and
interest levels can find an event for
them."
is a handicap singles tournament of 40
continuous frames that includes no-tap
frames, mulligans, bonus pins and
other fun challenges. There also is a
variety of side events and doubles for
bowlers to earn additional prize money.
The tournament has welcomed more
than 300,000 bowlers and paid more
than $10.5 million in 25 years of competition.
"We are thrilled to be partners with
Columbia 300, one of the top ball
brands in bowling, and to be part of the
offerings to USBC bowlers," said Jim
Walter, owner of The Forty Frame
Game. "Our unique format is a lot of
fun and also gives participants the
chance to practice and possibly win
some money in the same atmosphere
where they will be competing for bowlin g 's nati onal c hampi ons hips. "
will be held on the Showcase Lanes,
which also are used for team practice
sessions. There will be specific afternoon and evening squad times for The
Columbia 300 Forty Frame Game as
well as morning and early-afternoon
times set aside for team practice sessions on the Showcase Lanes.
"Columbia 300 represents fun bowling
competition with your friends, making
partnership with The Forty Frame
Game a perfect fit," Columbia 300
Brand Manager Bugsy Kelly said. "We
look forward to helping make The Co-
lumbia 300 Forty Frame Game a special experience that every bowler will
want to make part of their Reno visit."
Prize money for Forty Frame Game
tournaments nationwide, including The
Forty Frame Game in the event's
hometown of Toledo, Ohio, and a Ladies Doubles, traditionally held alongside the USBC Women's Championships (since 1995), is approximately
$450,000. Top performers also earn an
all-expense-paid trip to The Forty
Frame Game National Championship
Finals held each November in Las Vegas, where they can win additional
prize money.
The Forty Frame
National Championship
This event is held each year on the first
or second weekend in November to
determine The Forty Frame Game National Champion. The site is the Silver
Nugget Casino and Bowling Center in
Las Vegas. There are preliminary
rounds of bowling starting Friday evening and ending on Saturday or Sunday
morning with six finalists going head to
head for all the marbles in The Forty
Frame Game Championship Finals.
It is a fun event and another opportunity to win more dollars. Eligible finalists
are the top winners from the Toledo,
USBCBA and USBCWBA plus any
league champions who are sponsored
by their bowling centers. All participants
receive free transportation, lodging and
meals. Guests are welcome at their own
expense. It is a party atmosphere and
an exciting conclusion to The Forty
Frame Game season.

Belmonte Headlines
Sold-Out
USBC Masters Field
By Lucas Wiseman
ARLINGTON, Texas - Australian two-handed star
Jason Belmonte will look to continue his tidal wave of
success when he takes on a sold-out field of 468 of
the world's best bowlers next week at the United
States Bowling Congress Masters.
As the reigning Masters champion and current Professional Bowlers Association Player of the Year,
Belmonte will be the man to beat when the event
takes place at Brunswick Zone Carolier in North
Brunswick, N.J. The Masters begins Tuesday,
Feb.18, with qualifying.
Belmonte, who last month won the Barbasol PBA
Tournament of Champions, defeated Wes Malott of
Pflugerville, Texas, 258-245, in last year's Masters
championship match to win his first PBA major title.
Successfully defending the Masters title has proven
to be an extremely difficult task in the 63-year history
of the tournament. It's only happened twice and not
since 1965. Billy Welu won the event in 1964 and
1965, while Dick Hoover was the first to win consecutive titles in 1956 and 1957.
"It's so difficult to win any event back-to-back, but
with a three-game, knock-out format, you can come
up against the wrong guy at the wrong time and be
knocked out,"
Belmonte said. "Last year, I focused purely on my
own game, and this year I'll be doing the same
thing."
Belmonte will have one advantage on the field
when he takes to the lanes next week. As the reigning champion, he is guaranteed a spot in the 64player double-elimination match-play bracket. He will
bowl qualifying to try to earn the highest seeding
position possible.
All players will bowl 15 games of qualifying over
three days to determine the match-play field. The top
63 players will join Belmonte in the unique threegame,
double-elimination bracket.
The top five players at the conclusion of the bracket
will advance to the stepladder finals and compete in
the live two-hour championship round on ESPN on
Sunday, Feb.23, at 3 p.m. ET.
The Masters, which features a first-place prize of
$50,000 and a total prize fund of $315,000, is a major event on the PBA Tour and is part of the World

Here is a Rain-day
Bowling Story
Fred Eisenhammer
LA Bowling Examiner
As we bask in the balmy weather of the City of Angels, we know full well about how inclement weather
has invaded other areas of the country.
So it’s no surprise that bowling centers have popped up
everywhere to the east of us as a viable indoor activity.
It’s been a favorite activity at the White House since
1947 when two bowling lanes were presented to President Harry Truman and placed in the basement of the
West Wing. It was a gift to Truman from the people of
his home state of Missouri.
Here are some quick White House bowling notes from
the book ―How the White House Really Works‖ authored by George Sullivan:
-- One of the best bowlers on the White House lanes
was Lady Bird Johnson, the wife of President Lyndon
Johnson. She once rolled a 188 and talked about the
usefulness of White House lanes during a Mideast crisis on June 5, 1967, in her book, ―White House Diary‖:
―The U.N. was struggling . . . the Security Council going
into session for five or six hours . . . like millions of others I strained with hope toward the U.N. and what it
might produce. But I remembered with dismay the expressions of no confidence . . . I turned off the TV and
went over to the bowling lanes where I used up my
energy in three games, hurling a heavier ball than usual
and running up scores in the 150s. All by myself. And
while I’m bowling, I don’t think about anything else.‖
-- President Richard Nixon set the presidential high with
a 233 game. He bowled one game after another in
rapid succession. He sometimes would total 20 games
in one night.
President Ronald Reagan and his family were not bowlers. Joe Taylor, the longtime caretaker of the lanes,
never saw President Reagan bowl.

Helen Duval’s Bowling Tips
Check Points and Concentration
Did you know you should do four things every time you deliver a ball?
Here they are:
Remember exactly where your sliding foot is in your stance position—that is, what
board it’s on.
Watch to see whether you rolled that ball over your spot on the lane and what the
ball was doing at the arrow or spot area.
See where your hand is after the delivery and what position it is in.
Look at where your sliding foot is at the foul line and check to see if it is in a
straight line from stance position to delivery point in relationship to your target.
Let’s talk about each of these check points one by one.
Let’s presume that you are lining yourself up for a strike. Put your feet together,
pointed straight ahead, sliding foot slighting ahead of the other. Here’s the reason
for this foot position. If you pick out your position on the approach with your sliding
foot, then bring up the other foot behind it, you will be more conscious of the position
of the sliding foot.
Now let your bowling arm hang down against your leg, fingers pointed to the floor.
The fingers should be hanging pointed over the last dot on the approach if there are
five dots. This dot is on the same board as the second arrow. Some bowling centers
have seven dots. If this is the case, use the second dot in from the end as this dot is
in line with the second arrow.
Wiggle your feet around until you are in the right position and remember where that
sliding foot is.
Now deliver the ball and keep your eye constantly on the arrow until the ball rolls
over it. Did the ball roll over the spot or miss it? You don’t know because you weren’t concentrating on the spot? Do it again. The ball must continue over the spot
(second arrow) another 10 or 15 feet before it hooks. So that means you must
stroke the arm toward the target and that will help to get your hand up in front of
your face in the follow through.
Stay at the foul line until the ball hits the pins. This assures a solid delivery and you
have control of the ball. If you can’t stay at the foul line, we’ll discuss this later.
Why did I say to bring your hand up in front of your face? Several reasons: It helps
you keep your balance, helps point you in the direction of the target, but, most of all,
it tells you what position your hand is in.
Remember, your thumb steers and guides the ball. So the position of your thumb
will tell you the whole story. Where your thumb goeth, there goeth the ball.
The simplest explanation is to shake hands with the pins or your target. Your thumb
should be at about the 11:00 position, wrist firm and with no wrinkles on it. Look at
it—it’s probably ―broken‖ with the fingers open and no feeling of lift. How can you
feel the ball coming off your fingers if you don’t keep them curled?
Here’s an easy way to do it. Before you push the ball out in the delivery, squeeze
the ball slightly with your two bowling fingers and keep the two outside fingers firmly
on the ball. Keep that same feeling all the way through the arm swing and delivery.
Now you will deliver such a great ball and it will really shake the pins and break up
large combinations of pins.
Hope you’ve stayed at the foul line so you can see where you sliding foot was in
relation to the foul line at the delivery point. If you walk crooked from your starting
point (which you remembered, I hope), you will know why your ball missed the spot
or angled badly after passing over the spot.
You must become consistent in your approach so when you start walking toward
spares, you can do the same thing—only walk at an angle towards them, using the
same technique as for your strikes.
I’d venture to say that 85% of the bowlers walk crooked to the line. How can you
swing the ball in a straight line if you walk crooked?
Here are some helpful tips: If you are really concentrating on the arrow, you’ll see it
―move‖ to the left or right if you walk crooked; your first or second step is usually the
one you go off to one side with; have someone you can trust watch you from the
rear and this may help you.
If you drift across the approach on strikes—and I’m only talking about strikes—
before you start, point your toes in the opposite direction of your drift. It works; try it.
Remember the four check points and make yourself do them every time you bowl.
I’ll bet by now some of you have raised your averages at least 10 pins. So keep
practicing until next month.
Final tip: Did you know that there are five boards between each dot and each arrow? Also that all the dots are on the same board as the arrows?
Idle Bowling Thoughts
By Chuck Pezzano
Too often bowling has been depicted as an activity that has overcome a rather sordid past.
As a youngster I sort of reluctantly accepted the oft repeated tales of drinking and
gambling and assorted other ills as the main lure of the game, and not the thrill of
rolling a ball and knocking down more pins than the other bowlers.
Early in my writing career I met some people who were involved with the very early
days of the sport and others who were related to or know some of the pioneers of
the game. One day a fellow sportswriter handed me a package, told me that an
older women had dropped it off and if I didn’t want it, just throw it away.
It was a scrapbook of bowling articles that appeared to be from 1900 to 1905. I was
surprised, fascinated and proud as I eagerly devoured every word. It was all quite
positive, perhaps by design or maybe because that’s the way it was. It had many a
piece about woman’s bowling and they were informative, educational and illustrative
of the larger role played by women in bowling history than ever imagined.
Serving on various Hall of Fame and other committees I had the opportunity to peruse long ago publications and articles about the sport plus much of the research
done by bowling scholars such as Al Matzelle, Bruce Pluckhahn and Herm
Weiskopf.
Sure there was some gambling, drinking, plenty of needling, lip action, equipment
tampering and all the rest that goes along with the evolution of a sport, however
there was the touch of class given by builders, engineers, women, churches, athletic
and social clubs and people from every walks of life.
In a game that on the surface seems to change little, there have been many
changes. The equipment, balls, pins, machines have all evolved and thus changed
the sport. Lanes, lane dressing and conditioning changes can and have filled
books. Change isn’t bad unless it is change for change sake alone.
A case can be made for and against every major innovation in the sport, and a good
case can be made for the abilities of star bowlers who lived from the turn of the last
century and before.
Can any solid conclusion be drawn? I doubt it. If you had a buck for every discussion about the merits or demerits of various star bowlers, bowling balls, drilling, pins,
lanes, and lane conditioning you could travel around the world a time or two.
There remain many loose ends. Almost all would admit that soft conditions and the
tremendous scores may have done some damage, but the scoring brickyards are
just as damaging, aren’t they? Popcorn pins might be terrible, but are trees any
better? Some leagues, centers and bowling groups might be out of touch, but don’t
we have bowling segments that are out in space? And on and on it goes. If the
answers were simple, there wouldn’t be any opposing opinions.
Getting back to super stars… Some of today’s top scorers are criticized because
they don’t have the style, ball, mental attitude or whatever of some of the great old
timers. You look at the records and some of the junior bowlers already have better
stats than fabled Hall of Famers. So the beat can go on in a ridiculous way. You do
what you have to in order to obtain the best results in the era in which you perform.
Let’s give credit equally all along the time line.
And for those of you who are just too critical of today’s bowling, just remember that
20 years from now those will be the ―good old days!‖
Storm Bowling Products will provide each Pepsi
Youth Championships state coordinator with a certificate to use as a fundraising tool this season. The
certificate can be redeemed for any ball from the

Walter Ray Williams Jr. Tops
Hall-of-Fame Field to Win
PBA50 Tour Finals
Laughlin wins PBA Regional Players
Invitational Finals; Young repeats as
Teen Masters champion
LAS VEGAS – Walter Ray Williams Jr. topped a three
-man all-star field to win the inaugural PBA50 Tour Finals, Arizona’s Ben Laughlin won the PBA Regional
Players Invitational Finals, and Florida’s Greg Young
repeated as Teen Masters champion in a television
tripleheader that concluded the Professional Bowlers
Association’s World Series of Bowling V at South Point
Hotel, Casino and Bowling Center.
In the PBA50 Tour finals, which featured three PBA
Hall of Famers who qualified based on competition
points earned during the 2013 PBA50 Tour season, two
-time PBA50 Player of the Year Williams defeated
Venezuela’s Amleto Monacelli, 224-204, after Monacelli
eliminated 2013 PBA50 Rookie of the Year Pete Weber
of St. Ann, Mo.,243-208, in the first match.
―The fans had a chance to see three players with a lot
of history with the organization and who had great seasons on the PBA50 Tour,‖ Williams, an Ocala, Fla.,
resident, said. ―You can’t get much better than that.‖
Williams, who won three PBA50 Tour titles in 2013,
led throughout the match before Monacelli made a late
charge with a three-bagger heading into the 10th
frame. But Monacelli left the 4 pin on his first ball in the
10th and missed the spare to end his chances.
―The momentum was going back and forth,‖ Williams
said. ―It was going my way with a four-bagger and then
I left a 10 pin in the ninth which gave Amleto a chance.
I was really surprised when he left the 4 pin. If he
strikes, the match could have gone down to the last
ball.‖
Laughlin, who won the combined PBA West/Northwest
RPI to qualify for the finals, defeated South Region
representative Tom Daugherty of Wesley Chapel, Fla.,
225-187, to win the special event for PBA regional
champions. The RPI Finals included six PBA members
who won RPI titles in their respective regions.
Laughlin won his opening round match by rolling a
222 game against East Region representative Brian
LeClair of Albany, N.Y. (198) and Southwest Region
representative Chris Barnes of Double Oak, Texas
(163). Daugherty’s 244 eliminated Midwest Region
representative Dave Beres of Waukesha, Wis. (202)
and Central Region representative Brian Kretzer of
Dayton, Ohio (177).
―Bowling on ESPN was a dream come true,‖ the 42year-old Laughlin said. ―It’s the best feeling I’ve ever
had in bowling.
―I bowled on Tour during the 2005-06 season, but I
didn’t fare so well,‖ he added. ―I’ve been bowling regionals ever since and enjoying it. The RPI program
with a TV show this year was great. You couldn’t ask
for much more than that. It absolutely provided incentives for regional players to get out and bowl.‖
The Teen Masters Grand Championship featured a re
-match of last season's finalists, which Young also won.
He won his second straight $64,000 scholarship package – the richest scholarship prize in the sport – by
beating Ashley Dunn of Palmdale, CA, in a one-ball roll
-off after the best-of-two-game match ended in a tie.
Dunn, who was swept in the 2012 title match, got the
upper hand when she won the first game, 179-160, but
Young sent the match into sudden-death with a 184153 decision in game two. In the roll-off, Young struck
and Dunn left the 2-4-5 to hand Young the victory.
Young, who will graduate from Viera High School in
2014, will attend collegiate powerhouse Robert Morris
University-Illinois
next fall and

Q. I have fallen into a mid-season slump and can't seem to shake it. Got any idea's
on breaking slump's?

Slump's can be one of the hardest things in our game to get over. If you ask 100
people how to break a slump you will probably get 100 different answers. I have a
few idea's of my own. First remember you know how to bowl, you haven't forgotten
how you have just lost your confidence. When you lose confidence, your ability to
bowl on auto pilot goes out the window. You begin to over-think everything. Your
approach becomes uncomfortable. You start steering every shot. The harder you
try to correct these things the more you do them. You go practice more but usually
it just makes things worse and prolongs the slump because you are practicing the
very thing that got the slump started in the first place. You want to try to relax and
quit thinking, try to concentrate on hitting your target and nothing else. What I do to
break my slump is to take a couple of weeks off. I get a sub for leagues and even
bypass a tournament if one is coming up. I get away from bowling altogether. This
helps me to reset my brain as it pertains to bowling. Then when I come back, I
have forgotten all the things that started the slump in the first place. I am relaxed
and having fun again. Getting away for some people is the quickest fix.
Q. I got a new ball for Christmas, went to the pro shop to get it drilled. I was asked
what reaction I was trying to achieve. I told the expert what I would like to see the
ball do. He watched me throw a few shot's and drilled the ball for me. When he
handed it to me I was shocked to find not only the finger and thumb holes but a
large hole in the side of the ball. I did not ask for this extra hole to be put in the
ball. I asked why this was done and was told it is a weight hole. What
is a weight hole?

A. To help the ball get certain rolling characteristics the ball is drilled off center.
This can leave the ball with more weight on one side than is allowed by USBC
equipment rules. You are only allowed 3 ounces of top weight and 1 ounce of side
weight. The also 1 ounce of either thumb or finger weight. The size and depth of
the hole is determined by how much weight needs to be removed to make the ball
legal by USBC specs. Only one weight hole is allowed. The weight hole does not
hurt the ball. In fact it many times helps the reaction of the ball even more.
Q. I bowl in a center that has a long oil pattern. My ball speed is pretty fast and I
am having problems with the ball getting to the pocket. What can I do besides slow
down to increase hook?

A. Here is what you need to know about ball speed. There are more things in bowling that add up to to become speed. Throwing the ball fast, speed. Heavy oil reacts like speed. Polished ball, speed. High rg ball, speed. Weak cover stock,
speed. All of these things act like more speed. You have to try to achieve a balance to get the reaction you are after. You have ball speed and wet lanes. You
need to temper this with a lower rg ball, or with a drilling pattern to get the ball into
an earlier roll You may need a sanded ball or matte finish ball to get a read on the
lanes. You might need some or maybe all of these things to increase your ball
reaction on the lanes. Your objective is to slow the ball down by increasing friction
between ball and lane.
Just a note for all my readers my wife and I are taking a bucket list cruise to New
Zealand and Australia starting in February. We will be gone for two months so
these articles have been written ahead. But please if you have a question go
ahead and email it to me. I won't have the net all the time so it might be awhile
before I get back to you with an answer. I will get the answers out to you as soon
as I return in April.

Roll To A Million
Highlights Bowl For
The Cure
By Terry Bigham
ARLINGTON, Texas - February is Bowl for the Cure®
month, and the United States Bowling Congress once
again is encouraging USBC members, their families
and friends to take part in the "Your Roll to a Million"
effort.
The "Your Roll to a Million" initiative kicked off during
Breast Cancer Awareness Month last October and
through merchandise sales, special tournaments and
donations seeks to raise $1 million for Susan G. Komen for the Cure®.
During Bowl for the Cure® month, USBC will have
several ways for bowlers to help the "Your Roll to a
Million" campaign reach its goal:

Shop - At USBCBowlingStore.com, there is great
new merchandise for bowlers to show their support in
the fight against breast cancer. USBC donates 25 percent of all Bowl for the Cure® purchases to Susan G.
Komen for the Cure®.

BFTC has a list of events in each state and also has
the tools for bowlers who might want to host an event.
Bowl for the Cure® also is launching the Fabulous
Four essay contest. The contest, open to any female
who has been impacted by breast cancer and/or who
has been involved in supporting the fight against breast
cancer, will give four winners the ultimate bowling experience.
Winners will receive a trip to the Dallas/Fort Worth
area to visit the International Bowling Campus and
Susan G. Komen's International Headquarters, and
they then will travel to Reno, Nev., to take part in the
USBC Women's Championships.
The winners also will receive bowling equipment and
lessons during their time at the IBC. Contest details,

Australia’s Belmonte
Wins Barbasol
PBA TOC
Strike on final ball clinches one-pin victory
over Texan Wes Malott
Souza’s Bowl 4 Buck$ Results @ Cloverleaf Family Bowl
ALLEN PARK, Mich. (Jan. 26, 2014) – Australia’s
Jason Belmonte, with a strike on his final ball, defeated
Wes Malott of Pflugerville, Texas, to win the Barbasol
Professional Bowlers Association Tournament of
Champions by a single pin Sunday at Thunderbowl
Lanes.
Belmonte, a 30-year-old two-handed player, defeated
Malott, 219-218, after earning the top berth in the stepladder finals by 363 pins over England’s Dom Barrett,
but he escaped with his one-pin victory when Malott left
an 8 pin on his first shot in the 10th frame.
Belmonte collected his eighth career victory and second PBA major title just a week after being named 2012
-13 PBA Player of the Year. He also earned $40,000
and a celebratory Barbasol shaving cream pie-in-thefame from close friend and fellow competitor Bill O’Neill.
“I got extremely lucky,” Belmonte said. “When it really
counted, I didn’t throw a good shot and gave Wes a
chance. I was pretty sure he was going to win. I couldn’t
believe it when I looked up and saw the 8 pin standing.”
The victory avenged Belmonte’s 214-156 loss to
Malott in the 2013 U.S. Open title match, another tournament Belmonte had dominated until the final game.
“Other than the U.S. Open, this was one of my best
start-to-finish performances ever,” Belmonte said. “I’m
extremely proud to put my name on this trophy.
“To win a major championship and player of the year
in the same week? That’s pretty tough to beat,” he
grinned.
Malott advanced to the title match with a 205-202
victory over Barrett, the 2013 PBA World Champion, in
a contest where strikes were hard to come by late in the
game. Barrett failed to convert the 2-8-10 split in the
seventh frame, giving Malott the edge. But Malott was
unable to take advantage, leaving four consecutive 10
pins to keep Barrett in the match. Needing a strike on
his first shot in the 10th win, Barrett also left a 10 pin.
In the second match, Dan MacLelland made a fatal
mistake when he left the 4-6-7-10 split in the fourth
frame and failed to convert. Malott struck on eight of his
final nine shots to race away with a 248-199 win to end
MacLelland’s hopes of becoming the first Canadian to
win a PBA Tour title.
In the opening match, MacLelland, a fifth-year PBA
player making his seventh career television appearance, eliminated defending
Tournament of Champions
winner Pete Weber of St.
Ann, Mo., 259-211. Weber,
a 37-time PBA champion
who was making his 133rd
television
appearance,
made two uncharacteristic
mistakes – failing to convert the 3-10 split in the first
frame and missing the 3-6-
10 in the fifth – and MacLelland answered with a string
of eight strikes to end the 51-year-old Weber’s bid for a
record 11th PBA major title.

Reborn Woodland Bowl Nearing
Completion
By Elizabeth Kalfsbeek
(Reprinted with permission of Daily Democrat)
If joining a bowling league is a new year's resolution, Woodlanders are in luck.
San Bruno Bowling Center, formerly Woodhaven Lanes Bowling Alley, will open
"as soon as we're ready," confirmed building owner Salvatore Muzzi, adding that will
likely be in the next couple of months.
The lanes have undergone internal transformation since last summer, including
new paint featuring the colors of the Italian flag, Muzzi's native country. The red,
green and white dotting the building's interior columns and portions of the floor by
the lanes are also the colors of the Mexican flag.
When the bowling alley's former owner AMF closed the facility abruptly in the summer of 2012, it subsequently gutted the interior of the building, including the machines used to place pins and return bowling balls - now being replaced by Muzzi.
Muzzi is waiting on the pin setting machines ordered from Germany that will
"maybe" arrive at the end of January. The walls will be cut to accommodate the
eight-foot machines.
As of Wednesday, crews were sanding the lanes to ensure they are level. Muzzi
added that he plans to paint giant American flags on each of the walls that hug the
bowling lanes.
The carpets will not be replaced at this time, but are being steam cleaned.
"We still have a lot of work to do here," Muzzi said.
Repairs are being made to Corkwood Lounge, which was a bar, but Muzzi isn't certain of its endgame. He does not have a liquor license, but suggested a potential
partnership between the bowling center and the adjoining Corkwood Restaurant,
which has a beer and wine license.
The bowling alley's adjoining restaurant, Corkwood, has remained in business
John's Incredible Pizza
Coming to Newark
With 60,000-sq. ft. Deal
By Nathan Donato-Weinstein
Real Estate Reporter-Silicon
Valley Business Journal
John's Incredible Pizza, a growing entertainment
concept that features all-you-can-eat pies, rides,
games, bowling and more, is coming to Newark —
filling a former Target location that went dark in
2012.
The 10-location chain, based in Southern California, has signed a lease to occupy 60,000 square
feet at the Newpark Mall, a 1.1-million-square-foot
retail center that opened in 1980.
The arrival will bring 200 jobs with it, said Pamela Hurley, a spokeswoman for
John's Incredible Pizza. John's will locate on the lower level of the mall where Target used to be. The retailer's departure in 2012 for a new location in Fremont was a
serious blow to the city.
Jon Stansbury of Terranomics Retail Services, and Jerry Bertholdi of JB&A Real
Estate & Development, represented John's Incredible Pizza. This will be the first
Bay Area location for John's, which also has a location in Roseville.
―We‘ve been looking to become a part of the greater San Jose community for
years now," said John Parlet, the company's owner and founder (hence the name).
"After reviewing multiple locations, the NewPark Mall is a natural fit due to the ample
parking available to our guests, and the ease of freeway accessibility.‖
John's will feature nearly 200 games, miniature golf, family bowling, party rooms
and themed dining rooms, and big-screen TVs — and, of course, an all-you-can-eat
pizza buffet.
The company was founded in 1997 in Victorville. It now has 10 locations and plans
to open two to three a year. Its typical footprint is about 50,000 square feet. Consumers buy a ticket for lunch or dinner, which gets you admission to the complex.
Hurley said the location should be open in late-2014.
San Bruno Bowling Center building owner Salvatore Muzzi painted the floor,
columns and walls red, green and white, colors of his Italian heritage.

since the closure of the lanes. The coffee shop and restaurant has always operated
as an independent business within the building, built in 1964.
Present restaurant owner and chef Charlie Chu has been at the location for 32
years.
Muzzi said the renovation including the cost for the new pin machines is in the
neighborhood of a few hundred thousand dollars, but would not be more specific.
Almost two years ago, a simple flier taped to the glass door was all that told people
- and nine employees - the business at 154 W. Main St. was closed after more than
30 years in business.
At the time, AMF officials said Woodhaven Lanes wasn't performing financially.
Brentwood Bowl of
South San Francisco
Is Moving Up The Street?
Brentwood Bowl is moving up the street to the old movie theater? My understanding is the process has already began with construction of a new center.
Brentwood Bowl is no light weight to bowling, they have been providing bowling
for over 50 years. At a time when centers are being demolished this is just plain
exciting.
As soon as I get the call, I am looking forward to getting a few shots of the construction and a tad bit more information.
Striking news is just to exciting to not share!
Stars and Strikes Rolls Into Sandy Springs, GA
With New And Upscale Family Entertainment
California Based Company Brings The Vision
Company responds to evolution of today‘s bowler with the introduction of a 51,000
Sq Ft Center featuring a chef-driven restaurant, private lanes, event space, state-ofthe-art video and redemption games and much more:
ATLANTA, GA (October 2013) – Georgia-based Stars and Strikes announced that
construction is underway on the company‘s fifth and largest family entertainment
center, which is slated to open December 2013 with a redesign that‘s both kidfriendly and adult focused. Located at 8767 Roswell Road in Sandy Springs--just
south of the river on Roswell Road--the 51,000 square foot location will consist of
new construction, including a former retail location in the North River Shopping
Complex.
Stars and Strikes’ Sandy Springs location offers:
• 8 Upscale, private lanes
• 20 traditional state-of-the-art bowling lanes
• A two-story laser tag arena
• Laser maze
• Game room with prize store

710 Grille, a chef-driven restaurant that seats 250
• Full and circular bar with interactive, LED lighting and a wide selection of
beers on tap
• Live entertainment every weekend on the HUB Entertainment Stage
• Dedicated, private birthday party rooms
• Multiple private event spaces
• 40 TV screens ranging in size from 42-52 inches
• 9 Projection screens in private event spaces
• Complimentary self-parking
Jack Canouse, one of two managing partners and a co-founder with Stars and
Strikes said, ―we are extremely excited about this new project and look forward to
bringing our upscale family entertainment center to Sandy Springs and the surrounding area. We‘re looking forward to offering an array of attractions and recreational activities for the entire family.‖
According to the Bowling Proprietors Association of America, bowling is now the
nation‘s number one participatory sport.
Unlike the ‗alley‘s‘ of the past, today‘s generation--of both leisure and professional
bowlers--require technology, diversity of
entertainment and fresh menu options.
―After months of market research and
many years in the business, we‘ve discovered there‘s a need for this type of recreational facility,‖ said Chris Albano, managing
partner and co-founder of Stars and
Strikes. ―The Sandy Springs location will
serve as an entertainment and dining destination for all ages and have broad appeal
to families, churches, schools, corporate
outings, or simply for a girls or boys night
out.
Our vision is to provide a tremendously
fun experience in a safe, clean, comfortable, smoke-free atmosphere with great
customer service and value.‖
With four other locations across Metro
Atlanta, including Cumming, (opened 2005), Lawrenceville (opened 2007), Dallas
(opened 2008) and Stone Mountain (opened 2011), the modernized and reinvented
Stars and Strikes in Sandy Springs will attract all ages. The 20-lanes of bowling will
appeal to all customers, including the professional bowlers looking for a higher quality bowling experience, which is only accentuated by the digital imaging highlighting
everything from personalized company logos and celebration messages to national
and local sports teams.
The new location will also boast eight, private lanes called the Blue Room. Complete with custom sofas, dedicated staff and privacy curtains, each lane can be
rented individually or as a room, making it the ideal venue for a gathering with
friends or colleagues. When it‘s time to slip away between frames or after the
party, Stars and Strikes will also offer everything from DJ nights, comedy and karaoke from the HUB Entertainment Stage.
The 40 TV screens found throughout Stars and Strikes will provide patrons with
videos, live sporting events, movies and news, ensuring a tremendous experience
while they bowl. All 28-lanes will be equipped with bumpers that automatically rise
or descend depending on the player, allowing everyone to bowl according to their
skill set.
Stars and Strikes of Sandy Springs will also be the launch of the company‘s new
restaurant concept, 710 Grille. The 250-seat restaurant will offer seasonally-inspired
food including a variety of appetizers, specialty salads, signature soups, sandwiches, wood oven pizza, steaks and other popular items. Unlike the ‗bowling alley
food‘ of years past, 710 Grille will be a chef-driven establishment that allows patrons
to have an entertainment and culinary experience--all under the same roof.
―We‘re excited to have Stars and Strikes locate in Sandy Springs,‖ said District 2
Councilmember Dianne Fries. ―Its location provides a family-friendly entertainment
alternative on our northern end, as well as enhances revitalization efforts in this
area. I can‘t wait to go bowling!‖
Design Development, a firm out of California, was selected by Stars and Strikes
to bring the vision for the highly-anticipated Sandy Springs location to life. From
cherry woods, flexible seating and lighting that adjust from day to night, the company‘s newest location has set out to be a benchmark in the family entertainment
center industry.
Stars and Strikes of Sandy Springs is
providing up to 120 new jobs.

the top 5 were Kristin Warzinski of Lincoln
1460, Kevin Wix Sr. of Ceres 1448, Rich
Custer of Oakdale 1445 and Jim Gauthier
of Salida 1439.
In the first match you could see why Rich
Custer has been the high average at Yosemite Lanes for the past 3 seasons cause
he started striking a lot. Rich defeated Jim
Gauthier 289 to 225, then Rich defeated
Kevin Wix Sr. 268 to 236 in match #2.
In the 3rd match a couple solid 9 pins
keep things really close, but Rich struck
ount in the 10th frame to to defeat Kristin
Warzinski 228 to 226. The final match
ended with Rich over Robert Mayo 299 to
259. Rich Custer wins the first 6 Gamer of
2014 and $322.00 by bowling 1084 for his

Capitol Bowl Extensive
Remodel
Originally the El Rancho Bowl and part of the El Rancho entertainment complex which included a drive-in
movie theatre and first-rate hotel on I-40, Capitol Bowl
is still a family destination for West Sacramentans.
Fondly remembered as the entertainment hub of West
Sacramento, the El Rancho complex lost steam after I80 was built in 1956 and bypassed “motel row”. The
bowling alley has always been owned by families with
the third family purchasing it 12 years ago and renaming it Capitol Bowl.
“The remodeling of Capitol Bowl adds to the attraction
of West Sacramento’s downtown, from the new Community Center to the City College campus, from the
Turner Library to the streetscape improvements on
West Sacramento Avenue,” said West Sacramento
Mayor Christopher Cabaldon. “The city congratulates
the Capitol Bowl on its commitment to providing great
family recreation.”
“As a part of our community for 60 years, I believe this
newly remodeled bowling alley and restaurant will provide their same home town feel and continue to be an
important addition to our ever growing community here
in West Sacramento,” added Denise Seals, President
and CEO of the West Sacramento Chamber of Commerce.
Capitol Bowl’s remodel was extensive, not for the
lanes but for the social areas including the restaurant
and bar as well as the registration desk. The Café and
Lounge have a new, more extensive menu that includes all of the traditional comfort food for a bowling
alley café but has expanded to include some more sophisticated items including: a three-cheese macaroni
and cheese with bacon, calamari made with Buttermilk,
fish tacos and both regular and sweet potato fries hand
-cut fresh daily.
In total, the remodel and facelift for Capitol Bowl will
cost just over $600k and will include a new full-service
restaurant with patio seating, three party rooms and a
new bar area designed to
include live music. Most of
the funding is through an
SBA lender. The Redevelopment Agency provided a
$140k low-interest loan for
equipment and furnishing.
When construction is complete in about three months,
Capitol Bowl expects to add
three to five new full time
positions.
As family owners, Capitol Bowl is more of a labor of

Getting Stronger Every Year – CSSBA Senior
State Tournament Continues To Grow
By Bette Addington
California Bowling Writers
In this day and age for the sport of bowling anyone deeply associated with the sport knows
many events and tournaments are struggling these days to stay alive. Thank goodness
there are people out there who value this sport and believe in it and work to keep it fun for
participants and understand what bowlers want when they go bowl a tournament.
An excellent example of a thriving event is the annual CSSBA (California State Senior
Bowling Association) State Senior Tournament that just held its 44 th annual event in Clovis
and Fresno, CA. This tournament has grown to be held now for five consecutive weekends
starting in mid-October. It is held each year in different cities, generally in the central CA
vicinity.
The CSSBA organization held its first event in Bakersfield, CA in
1970 by Tournament Director, Glenn Barber. After Barber’s passing in 1996, Pete Melton took over as Tournament Director until
retiring in 2009. At that time, Gina Moura became Tournament Director. Moura was Melton’s bracket operator from 2001-2008. Although Moura will not take the credit, it has been her dedication to
keep this event going and growing as it has. ―This job is so rewarding. I get to meet wonderful bowlers throughout California
and striving to provide great service is my priority. We offer house
lane conditions and a friendly atmosphere. Our senior bowlers are
having a great time out on the lanes! In a declining bowling indusGina Moura
try, I am pleased that our event is growing and will continue to
Tournament Director
grow with our new 3 age divisions—Ages 50-59, Ages 60-69, and
Ages 70+,‖ stated Gina Moura.
And growing this event has! In 2007 the Team event drew 366 teams. In 2012, there were
483 teams and this year there were 452. So why the continued support and interest in this
event? Quite possibly it could be because the board of CSSBA which is made up of 25 officers and directors from throughout the state, have a connection with their bowling community and even though they only meet twice a year—in the Spring and at the opening of each
annual tournament—they figure out ways to, as past president, D.C. Williams stated,
―mainly show them a good time.‖ This group works hard with the centers that host the
event to put out a house condition that helps the participants bowl well. And, bowling well
makes bowlers happy! Happy bowlers spread the word and attract more bowlers to come

Besides that, this board is constantly thinking of new ways to imThe Bowling News
prove the event. In 2014, for example, CSSBA will unveil their new
policy of oiling the lanes before each squad to provide equal shots
thebowlingnews.net
for all entrants. Bowlers have asked for this and the board listened
and is delivering. Gina Moura added, ―We’re just going to keep
doing what we are doing!‖
Asked a couple Bakersfield happy tournament winners, Juke ―Jenny‖ Tanaguchi and Mike Mayo, their feelings about participating
in this event. This was Tanaguchi’s first year to bowl in it and she ended up placing second in Singles ―C‖ Division (50-59), seventh
in All Events ―C‖ and helped her team place 11 th in the Team event, she stated, ―I like the people and the tournament was run really

the All Events ―C‖, had more great comments to share, ―For whatever reason, I tend to do well at Senior State and I will therefore

continue to bowl it. Gina does a great job organizing the event and I’ve always felt she’s been very supportive of all the bowlers. She
somehow is able to keep a smile on her face during the entire tournament
and I know that isn’t always easy. As far as winning goes, I never expected
to do so well and feel God has blessed me with at least one tournament
win—ok, two events; even better!—in my life and the State event at that! I
can’t believe it. It’s just awesome! I look forward to bowling in Modesto
next year. By the way, Juke also works where I do at Frito Lay. Two of the
top three in our age division who work at the same location? Must be
something in the chips!‖
Besides the duo from Bakersfield rising to the top, other highlights from
this year’s event included Ty Dawson of Sunnyvale who rolled the high series of the event, an 803, while bowling Singles and Dennis Beets of Sugarloaf, who rolled the highest game, a 300, which he bowled during his Doubles competition.
So if you’ve reached the golden age of 50 and want to join the fun in 2014,
the 45th annual event is planned to be held five consecutive weekends starting October 25-26 in Modesto (Team center will be Yosemite Lanes and
Doubles and Singles at McHenry Bowl). Advance entries are now being

Presidio Juniors
By: Brian Lim
First and foremost, I would like to wish all of you and your families a
Happy New Year.
Official results from the 2013 NorCal YBA Junior/Adult South Division
tournament were announced and several Presidio bowlers were amongst
those who placed. In the ―B‖ division of the team event, the team of Junior
bowlers Kyle and Kory Hui and adult bowlers Brian Lim and David Espinda
combined to shoot a 2,712 handicap total to capture 1st place. Both Kyle
and Kory each received a $100 scholarship for their efforts.
In the Boy/Woman division of the Bumpers doubles event, 5 year-old Andrew Faynleyb and his older sister Olga Proshchuk bowled a 1,131 handicap total to take 1st place in their division. Bowling in his first tournament
ever, Andrew bowled games of 76 and 67 for a 143 two game series. Andrew received a $30 scholarship award for his efforts.
In the Boy/Women mixed doubles event, Kyle Hui bowled games of 201245-227 for a 673 scratch series with his adult partner Suzy Marini from 4 th
Street Bowl to power them to a 1st place finish with a 1,461 total. Kyle received a $105 scholarship award for his 1st place finish. The Presidio Juniors would like to thank the adult bowlers that participated in the tournament.
In late December 2013, Junior bowlers Michael Look, Gian Portuguez,
and Kevin Higgins participated in the 10th Annual Junior Bowlers Tour Las
Vegas Main Event at the Texas Star Lanes inside the Texas Station Hotel
and Casino.
Youth Director Darrell Herbert and assistant coaches David Espinda,
Olga Proshchuk, and Brian Lim accompanied them on the trip to Las Vegas. They all participated in the handicap singles event, the doubles event,
and the team event.
Despite their valiant efforts, none of the Presidio bowlers made the cut in
the singles event. Although the bowling portion of the trip was not as successful as they had hoped, the Junior bowlers still had a fun time in Vegas.
Darrell surprised the bowlers by taking them to a Bee Gees cover tribute
show at the Texas Station and took them to the Adventure Dome at the Circus Circus.

Bowling Combined
Scheduled for July 22
Terry Bigham
ARLINGTON, Texas – For young bowlers looking to
compete at the collegiate level, the Bowling Combine
for College Prospects has become a premier summer
event to attend. College bowling coaches also have
found it to be a great place to evaluate bowlers.
Applications now are being accepted for the 2014
Bowling Combine, which will take place July 22-26 at
the International Training and Research Center, the
home of Team USA. The annual event was developed
to bring together youth bowlers who want to compete
at the collegiate level and college coaches looking for
bowlers who might fit into their programs.
Student-athletes who have collegiate eligibility remaining and have completed at least their freshman
year in high school can submit an application. Space is
limited, and the application deadline is April 26.
―We expect to have another great pool of applicants
this year,‖ said Rod Ross, head coach of the ITRC and
Team USA. ―The student-athletes selected to participate will receive a great evaluation of their skills, plus,
they will have the opportunity to meet with some of the
top collegiate coaches in the country.‖
The Team USA coaching staff uses the state-of-theart tools at the ITRC to evaluate the skills of the student-athletes through tests such as shot repeatability,
Ford Driving Skills
for Life Signs
Walter Ray Williams Jr.
by Bill Vint
Ford Driving Skills for Life (Ford DSFL), an initiative
to promote safe driving, has teamed with the winningest player in Professional Bowlers Association
history, Walter Ray Williams Jr., to help create awareness and hopefully reduce automobile crashes among
release ratio, spare proficiency, breakpoint management, vertical leap and balance.
The student-athletes receive an objective analysis of
their skills that includes a Performance Evaluation Test
(P.E.T.) score that can be used to compare all studentathletes who have attended a Bowling Combine. The
bowlers also receive a recruiting kit that includes video
shots, bowler variables measured and a detailed report
of personal data collected at the Bowling Combine.
Last year, coaches from 30 collegiate programs took
part in the Bowling Combine. Gary Sparks, who led
Vincennes University to a runner-up finish at the 2013
National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA)
Championships, said three of his six incoming players
for the 2013-2014 season were at the 2012 Bowling
Combine.
―I go to a few other camps and clinics and obviously
watch bowlers at tournaments, but this gives me a perspective of a tryout atmosphere,‖ Sparks said after last
year‘s Bowling Combine. ―We don‘t get a chance to
see that in any other type of setting. You get a chance
to really see the players, know who they are and get a
one-on-one situation with them.‖
Coaches in attendance receive an evaluation of each
bowler, plus have the opportunity for one-on-one contact with prospective student-athletes. Coaches must
register and attend to receive the evaluations.
College coaches and athletes interested in the Bowling Combine can visit BOWL.com/Combine or
bowlingitrc.com for more information and to register.
newly licensed drivers.
Automobile accidents are the No. 1 killer of teenagers in America, and inexperience and distracted driving
are major factors in many crashes. As such Ford Driving Skills for Life (Ford DSFL) was established in 2003
by the nonprofit Ford Motor Company Fund, the Governors Highway Safety Association, and a panel of safety
experts to teach newly-licensed teens the necessary
skills for safe driving beyond what they learn in standard driver education programs.
―Being familiar with bowling and always looking at
innovative ways to reach teens and parents, I found
that being a good bowler and a good driver have a lot
in common,‖ said Jim Graham, manager Ford Driving
Skills for Life Program. ―Both concentration and focus
are keys to championship bowling, and the same skill
set is needed to avoid potentially deadly crashes on
the highways. What better person displays these skills
than one of the greatest bowlers of all time, Walter Ray
Williams Jr.
―Through a series of public service announcements,
talking to young people and their parents at events and
clinics, and an upcoming promotion, Walter Ray can
help educate and guide parents and teens to the award
-winning curriculum offered by Ford Driving Skills for
Life. For example, the PSA‘s were shown for the first
time to a group of 400 parents and young drivers who

PBA Billy Welu
Memorial Scholarship
The Professional Bowlers Association Billy Welu
Scholarship is awarded annually, recognizing exemplary qualities in male or female college students who
compete in the sport of bowling.
The scholarship winner receives $1,000. To be eligible candidates must be amateur bowlers who are currently in college (preceding the application date) and
maintain at least a 2.5/4.0 GPA or equivalent.
Applications must be postmarked by June 15.
The scholarship was established to annually recognize a college student who combines outstanding bowling talents with academic excellence. The late Welu
was best known for his expert analysis alongside legendary ABC broadcaster and PBA Hall of Famer Chris
Schenkel on the
popular
"Pro
Bowlers
Tour"
series. Welu was
a two-champion
PBA Tour champion and was a
member of the

Hall
of
Fame‘s inaugural
induction class in

attended hands-on events in Phoenix and Tucson in
November, and they received rave reviews. That is
great for Ford DSFL and the PBA.‖
Training is conducted in both hands-on and webbased curriculum. The entire program is available at no
cost. Training conducted under the Ford Driving Skills
for Life program addresses both the inexperience factor as well as issues surrounding distracted driving.
The web-based training called The Academy and a list
of hands-on events taking place across the country are
available at www.drivingskillsforlife.com.
―A lot of people might not know that the No. 1 killer of
teens is car crashes, so I‘m proud to be associated
with Ford Driving Skills for Life to bring awareness to
this serious issue,‖ Williams said. ―One thing bowling
has in common with Ford is that young people are a
foundation for our future, so we need to do what we
can from an awareness and education perspective to
keep them safe.‖
Williams will wear special ―Ford Driving Skills for Life‖
jerseys when he bowls, and will be involved in additional activities in support of the project.
Graham said 10 to 15 hands-on Ford Driving Skills for
Life events are planned for 2014, with additional programs being conducted around the world. Complete
information on the program including valuable training
tools can be seen at www.drivingskillsforlife.com.
