Locals Back on Top @ SC
SCORES ON TARGET AGAIN
1st 'Best 3 of 4' @ Sunset
With so much going on in town during Super Bowl weekend, we had a smaller than expected turnout at Suncoast...
but the competition was no less spirited. 9-Tap Tour
LV also reached another milestone with Membership now
exceeding 150 members. Based on our 'Target Range' of
winning scores (1030 to 1060) that we shared last week,
the winning score Saturday was a perfect 1034, which was
shot in the first squad of the day. Many bowlers in the 5 pm
squad had a chance to take the lead, however, each one
had a game under 200 which left them a bit short. Mark
Kight was the Winner of the Jackpot Consolation this
week. His 4-Taps was enough to earn him $100.00 from
the 9-Tap Jackpot , leaving the Pot to grow to $1,241.00 for
next week at Sunset Station.
The locals retook control of the top spots this week, after a
Hawaiian & a Brit controlled the Top 2 places last
week. Jermal Williams became the 3rd LV Tour Champion
of 2016, taking home a healthy $1,075.00, along with
some Bracket money & another $80.00 from the Scratch
Pot. His strong 1034 series, shot in the first squad, held up
all day and represented the only 1000+ score of the
day. Jermal, a very courteous young man, recently moved
to Las Vegas to attend college. He enjoys playing poker but
his passion is bowling. Jermal got comfortable on the lanes
immediately, throwing 4 solid games. Saving his best for
last, Jermal shot a sweet 290 game to close out his series
like a Champion. He's bowled in every LV Tour Tournament
(including Thanksgiving weekend) and his 290 game was
his best yet, topping his previous best game by a huge 49
pins. Jermal said THANKS to Corben (Tour Floor Director)
for introducing him to the Tour. GREAT BOWLING Jermal.
CONGRATS on Title #1.
At the urging of his father, David Bass Jr joined the Tour
Saturday, along with his partner Heather. He took 2nd
place with a strong score of 980, in the final squad, for a well
earned $480.00 in prize money. Trailing him by only 5 pins,
with a nice 975, was Robert Buckles, another Suncoast
bowler and also a coach with their Junior Bowling program. Robert took home $325.00, plus some extra from the
Scratch Pot.
Congratulations to our top 3 finishers and many thanks to
our returning and new members who supported this week's
Tour stop. THANKS also to Chris & Dion from DM Collection, who has put together a Dye Sublimation shirt catalog,
including Specials for Tour bowlers roughly $20 per shirt
less than the competition.

SERVING THE BOWLING INDUSTRY SINCE 1967
Simonsen Makes History With
Win At 2016 USBC Masters
By Matt Cannizzaro
INDIANAPOLIS - Nineteen-year-old Anthony Simonsen of Princeton, Texas, won the 2016 United States
Bowling Congress Masters on Sunday to become the
youngest player to win a major title on the Professional
Bowlers Association Tour.
Simonsen struck on eight of his first nine shots in the
championship match at Woodland Bowl to secure a
245-207 victory against Dan MacLelland of Kitchener,
Ontario, Canada. MacLelland was looking to become
the first amateur since 2002 to win the USBC Masters.
The victory earned Simonsen $50,000 and the coveted Masters trophy, while MacLelland took home
$25,000 as the runner-up. Simonsen was the first top
seed to win the event since 2013, when Australia's
Jason Belmonte claimed the first of a record three consecutive Masters titles.
Simonsen, at 19 years and 39 days old, surpasses
USBC and PBA Hall of Famer Mike Aulby of nearby
Carmel, Indiana, as the youngest major champion.
Aulby was 19 years and 83 days old when he won the
PBA National Championship in 1979 for the first of
eight major titles.
"It's definitely a dream come true," said Simonsen,
who won his first title earlier this year when he teamed
with Connor Pickford to win the Mark Roth/Marshall
Holman Doubles Championship and just miss becoming the youngest player to win a PBA Tour title. "And,
it's awesome to break a record. Mike Aulby was a
great player. Missing the youngest to be a title-holder
by two days was a little disappointing, but to come out
and get the job done today, I guess I'll take that as
evening itself out."
The decision to pursue a career on the lanes was one
Simonsen didn't take lightly, but he quickly was able to
prove himself with two PBA regional victories on the
way to PBA Southwest Region Rookie of the Year
honors for the 2014 season.
Equal success at the national level has been just as
quick, but Simonsen still is focused and humble. "I
made the decision at a young age to come on out, and
it was about getting out here and getting experience,
which really is starting to pay off," Simonsen said.
"This is my first full year out on Tour, and I bowled a
majority of the major events that were possible. To
have success is awesome, but a title doesn't define
you. You have to keep coming out and trying to perform week in and week out, and see where it takes
you."
For MacLelland, this week at the Masters was a vacation away from his full-time job as a bowling center
general manager and a chance to catch up with all the
people he no longer gets to see since leaving the PBA
Tour.
"It was great to be here and see everyone again, and
I really love bowling in the Masters," MacLelland said.
"This is one event I always try to bowl in, and it was a
fun week. It's a little disappointing, but I'm not upset.
Things just didn't go my way. Anthony bowled great all
week."
On the way to the championship match, MacLelland
was able to hold off 2013 Masters runner-up Wes
Malott of Pflugerville, Texas, for a 216-213 victory.
Against Malott, MacLelland started his first TV appearance since 2014 with an open frame, but strikes in
the next four frames gave him a nine-pin advantage
halfway through the match. He had a chance to shut
out Malott with a double and eight pins in the 10th
frame, but he left a 2-7 split after striking on his first
shot.
Following his first miscue of the day in the ninth
frame, a 2-8-10 split, Malott needed a double and four
pins in his final frame to slip past MacLelland. He
struck on his first shot, but a 6-10 combination on his
next offering ended his run at the 2016 event. A No. 4
seed never has won the Masters.
In his first two matches of the day, Malott struck on
20 of 24 attempts to defeat Tom Daugherty of Riverview, Florida, 258-189, and Chris Loschetter of Avon,
Ohio, 258-201.
Loschetter finished fourth and earned $10,000, while
Daugherty, who finished third at last week's FireLake
PBA Tournament of Champions, earned $8,000 for his
fifth-place effort Sunday at the Masters.
Belmonte was among the final eight bowlers from this
year's 417-player field, but losses Saturday to Malott
and Sweden's Martin Larsen ended Belmonte's bid for
a fourth Masters crown.
The 2016 Masters featured a total prize fund of
$295,000.
All competitors this week bowled 15 games of qualifying, before a cut was made to the top 63, who joined
Belmonte in the double-elimination match-play bracket.

“The Bad Boy of Bowling” to Make ESPN
Debut Online on Feb. 23, On Air on Feb. 26
30 for 30 Films documentary follows life and times of
PBA Hall of Famer Pete Weber
By Bill Vint
CHICAGO (Feb. 9, 2016) – ―The Bad Boy of Bowling,‖ an awardwinning documentary centered around the life-and-times of Professional
Bowlers Association Hall of Famer Pete Weber, will premiere on the
ESPN Films 30 for 30 Shorts website(http://espn.go.com/30for30/
shorts) on Tuesday, February 23. Later in the week, the film will make its
broadcast debut as part of Friday Night Movie Night on
ESPN’s SportsCenter on Friday, February 26 during the 6 p.m ET hour.
The ESPN Films 30 for 30 Shorts documentary, directed by SideStilt
Films’ Bryan Storkel and produced by Amy Storkel and Daniel Judge,
covers the sometimes controversial but always successful career of the
youngest of bowling legend Dick Weber’s three sons. Pete Weber, who
made his PBA debut at age 17, went on to win PBA Rookie of the Year
honors in 1980.
Still active on both the traditional PBA Tour and the PBA50 Tour at age
53, Weber has won 37 PBA Tour titles (fourth-best on the all-time titles
list) and earned more than $3.8 million (second only to Walter Ray Williams Jr.’s $4.6 million) despite occasional clashes with PBA leadership,
battling personal demons along the way, and never apologizing for his
approach to life and PBA competition.
While capturing the essence of Weber’s career through the eyes of his
fiercest competitors as well as Weber’s own insights, Storkel also provides ―Bad Boy‖ viewers with a history of PBA competition during the
Weber years.
―It’s been an amazing experience,‖ Storkel said of producing the film. ―I
knew about Pete for a while. I saw him in ―League of Ordinary Gentlemen: a few years back. When we were asked to do a 30 for 30 film, I
thought about bowling because 30 for 30 hadn’t done a bowling segment, and I immediately thought about Pete and his father, and how their
lives were all centered around bowling.
―I think having the father-and-son element creates something even nonbowling fans will enjoy,‖ Storkel added. ―It’s really a human story, not just
a bowling story.‖
After reviewing the film, despite it showing some of his darker moments,
Weber’s reaction was, ―I thought it was awesome.‖
PBA CEO and Commissioner Tom Clark said, ―The story of Pete Weber
is one of the most compelling in sports history. It was a great decision by
ESPN to feature Pete’s story in its artful 30 for 30 documentary series
and producer Bryan Storkel captured the story in a way that will entertain
and inform those familiar with Pete’s career while also introducing him to
those who don’t know much about him.‖
Prior to its debut as part of ESPN Films’ 30 for 30 Shorts series, ―The
Bad Boy of Bowling‖ was shown at more than 25 film festivals across the
United States, where it routinely received rave reviews and won a special
jury prize at the DOC NYC festival, one of the largest and most prestigious festivals.
―The film’s largest screening was at the Maryland Film where it played to
hundreds of fans on opening night,‖ Storkel added. ―We could hear the
crowd laughing out loud, crying… It was pretty special.‖
―The Bad Boy of Bowling‖ will be widely available to fans through
ESPN’s and PBA’s digital platforms and social media outlets following its
formal release.

Helen Duval’s Bowling Tips
Idle Bowling Thoughts
By Chuck Pezzano
(reprinted in honor of his dedication to bowling)
Spare Shooting
Arena Bowling
Several times I’ve mentioned the second arrow as the target for a strong delivery. If
you have been working on this and are fairly consistent, then it’s time to learn spareshooting.
May I suggest that in your shadow ball warm-up or practice sessions before
leagues or tournaments, you roll the ball only over the strike spot and concentrate on
developing a smooth approach. If you do this in practice, then when the league or
tournament starts you will be ready for anything, because spares require only a strike
ball delivery from a different angle.
Here are two very simple ways to learn spare-shooting:
Limit your target area to the second and third arrows and to the spot between them.
This represents
area of five boards.
Confine yourself to three basic positions on the approach. If you learn these, then
everything will fall into order.
First we’ll take the 7 pin spare (10 pin for the left-hander). Get into your strike position. Then look at your sliding foot. Move your sliding foot at least five boards to the
right. Point both feet toward the 7 pin (10 pin for left-handers). Look at the area between the second and third arrows that will serve as the target 15 feet down the lane.
When delivering the ball, walk slightly toward the target pin, lean and reach out,
making sure to follow through like an arrow toward it, rolling your strike delivery ball. If
you honestly did all these things and your ball did not quite get over to the target pin,
try again, starting a board or two to the right.
Remember: Your body, spot and ball line act like a pair of scissors. The more you
move to the right, the more the ball travels to the left, providing you use the same
arrow area as a target.
Be careful not to move more than a board or two at a time. The ratio of angle correction for every board you move on the approach is one to three. If you move one
board to the right and shoot at the same mark, the ball hits a target three boards farther to the left.
Now we’ll do the 10 pin spare (7 pin for lefties). Get back to your strike position.
This time move your sliding foot at least 10 boards to the left. Move another board or
so if you’re on the heavy side.
Now use your third arrow as the mark (the third arrow from the channel on the side
of your bowling arm). Yes, it will work. Try it. Walk slightly toward the 10 pin, lean,
reach, deliver the ball and follow-through toward the target.
Be sure to check your starting foot position in relation to the dots on the approach.
Then check foot position again after delivering the ball for the 7 and 10 pin spares.
The amount of drift on 7 and 10 pin spares from start to finish should be no more than
five boards.
Visualize the execution—your bowling arm and shoulder over the target dot or area,
the extended hand point to the pins you wish to hit. This will help you do the job.
Arena bowling and the close quarters in bowling championship set-ups allow
spectators, and friends and fans to be within short distances of the competitors
and that brings up the subject of silence.
For the most of bowling’s time, fans have been urged to cheer and root in their
own fashion, except at certain times. Confusing? Sure.
However in reality there are few rules covering silence at bowling’s crucial moments except unwritten ones of courtesy and tradition and under the not too specific rules concerning interference and unsportsmanlike behavior. Ambiguous.
In other major sports, golf and tennis, to name two, both have traditionally silent
areas. It is fair to say that there are others as well. It should be noted that bowling,
golf, and tennis are primarily individual sports on the professional level and most
competitors are not on salary. They must pay fees and expenses to compete and
income is the result of playing better than the other guy or gal.
In football, baseball, basketball, boxing, hockey, and soccer, the crowds are encouraged to cheer and jeer. In some they have cheerleaders to arouse the audience to almost unimaginable heights - - - and actions. Athletes who prefer the silence feel that they should be free of distraction when lining up a putt, serving, and
shooting a key spare - - - particularly since they were paying their own freight.
Yet in college basketball, 18 and 19 year olds, who don’t get paid, are asked to
shoot crucial shots through glass backboards amid the roar of the crowd and the
distracting view of all kinds of waving objects, including hands and heads.
For many years, tradition has called for silence at different points in different
spots in different areas. Examples are prior to the approach in bowling, the serve
in tennis, and putts in golf.
It seems as though the sound of a voice, a cough, a phone ring or the breaking of
a twig has had the effect of an explosion on the concentration of some participants. Golfers look menacingly into the sky when a jet disturbs a shot process
and it has been reported that plane routes were changed to not bother tennis players in action. Many a bowler has almost been destroyed by a baby’s cry or the
blow of a nose.
Most sports encourage cheering and jeering. Most sports cannot possibly have
rules to cover every aspect of silence and the officials, judges, referees or tournament directors might have to make judgment calls that would be second guessed
over and over again.
There are instances in every sport where the rules, written or unwritten, are
pushed and battered.
Silence, as well as unbridled activities, have long been part of every sport - - traditional intangibles. Competitors expect certain courtesies, and have received
them, on and off the rule book musts and guides.
Spectators seem to be getting more into sports, less controlled, and with the feeling, right or wrong, that their payment or even just their presence, entitles them
when to remain silent, not by tradition, courtesy, or unclear rules.
Strict guidelines on the silence aspect of bowling should always be considered in
tournament play and imparted as many ways as possible.
A loser is the ―short-shots‖ bowler who insists on telling fellow bowlers what they
did wrong after every shot and thus ends up losing a bowling friend.
A loser is the bowler who knows that all the bad breaks he gets in bowling will be
evened out by good breaks but he’s also sure that he won’t live that long.
A loser is the tournament bowler who is too busy checking out the average book
without checking his checkbook.
A loser is the bowler-golfer who shoots in the 120s in both sports.
A loser is any bowler who can’t come up with a new excuse for bad bowling without thinking about it.
A loser is a bowler who suffers a reputation as an easy loser, even if he’s a so
called good loser.
A loser is the bowler who insists on tight finger and thumb holes, tight bowling
shirts and shoes, and then gains 10 pounds.
A loser is the bowler who tells his mate that he is going to a short bowling meeting.
A loser is the person who reported that the results of his survey showed that it
doesn’t take too much in the way of brains to be bowler. We took a survey too. It
showed that it takes less brains to take surveys than it does to bowl.

Looking Back Into History & Helen Duval
Brothers’ Keeper, Too
Reprinted from The Desert News
By Julie Howard, Maturity News Service
Published: Sunday, Feb. 25 1996
When Helen Duval sees a double amputee veteran in a wheelchair, she thinks this:
He should be out bowling.
It's the kind of idea that could come only from a devoted bowler. And after more
than 50 years of praising the merits of the sport - touring the world as a teacher and
motivator for injured war veterans - Duval isn't just devoted. She's a fiery preacher,
gathering skeptical converts into something that very nearly approaches a religion for
her."She takes the most challenging patients and turns them into bowlers," says
Elizabeth Montanya, a spokeswoman for the Bowlers Victory League Fund based in
Arlington, Va.
"She takes them from being really isolated beings and sort of gives them a . . . link
to real life. And she won't take `no' for an answer."
The Bowlers Victory League, started in 1942 during World War II as a fund-raising
group for the war effort, has been Duval's special project since the 1940s. As an
ambassador for the league, and its honorary chairwoman for the past decade, she
has traveled the world, even teaching Japanese crippled in the atom bomb blasts of
1945 to seek healing through bowling.
"When I show up, they have their eyes down and they're there because they have
to be there," says Duval, who lives in Berkeley, Calif., and is listed in the Guinness
Book of World Records as the oldest woman to bowl a perfect game. "But by the
time I'm through with my two- to three-hour thing, they're high-fiving and smiling. It's
a really wonderful feeling to see them make that 180-degree turn.
"I've worked with people with no legs and in wheelchairs," she adds. "There was one
man whose back was crushed and we wheeled his bed right up the lane and ran a
ramp down so he could bowl."
Duval, who will turn 80 this summer, still travels to 40 events a year to conduct
bowling seminars and to encourage physically and mentally disabled veterans
around the country to seek therapy in bowling.
While a bowling alley may not have been considered the classiest of places in the
1940s and '50s, Duval would have none of such limiting conventional thought. She
met her husband in a bowling alley in the '40s, and when her son, Richard, developed polio at age 6 in 1954, she turned to bowling as a therapy to build back his
strength.
9-Tap Bowling Tour - Las Vegas From page 3
This week's Leader Board required a World Map. Our Champion, Kenny Reynolds came from the 9-Tap Tour - Hawaii... but he's currently serving in the Army,
at Ft. Irwin, CA... but he was in Colorado visiting his family last week, before driving
to LV, with wife Lisa, to bowl. Kenny is also a very PROUD Dad, whose daughter is
a junior at West Point and his son was recently accepted a t West Point as
well. As an only child himself, with deceased parents, he told us he was informally
adopted by the Kaea family (9-Tap Hawaii Directors) 23 years ago. As it happened,
the Kaea family and a few of the Hawaii Tour Members are in town to bowl and after
Kenny's HOT start, they all got behind him to cheer him on to Victory. He asked us
to THANK all of them for their support! Arriving later than planned after the long
drive, but just in time for the last squad, he shot a fantastic 1069 using his BRUNSWICK 'Time Zone' to pull out the Win by just 12 sticks. The $1,410.00 he earned
for 1st, plus an extra $120.00 from the Scratch Pot, certainly made the drive worthwhile. Kenny couldn't have been more excited bowling with all the love and old
'ohana' to support him Saturday. Kenny becomes only the second Tour Member to
earn a Title in 2 different Regions, having also won a Title at Pali Lanes on Oahu, in
2014. CONGRATS Kenny on Win #2!
The geography lesson continued with our our early leader David Cooper, who
traveled from England, on Thursday. David and his family are visiting Las Vegas for
the first time, were confident its already been a memorable trip. He shot an AWESOME score of 1057 at 12 Noon, but wasn't feeling well by the end of the
squad. Jet lag seemed to be the culprit, but we hope the nice $629.00 for 2nd
Place made him feel a little better. The ladies did well this week, taking 3rd & 4th
Places. Chon Athiprayoon's very nice 1047 was close and she did have a shot at
the Top Spot going into her last game. She took home $372.00 for her efforts. Elaine Weaver-Purdy made a strong showing for the second straight week,
posting an excellent 1023 for 4th.
12 www.bowlingworld.com - February 2016
"He was in the hospital for a year and when he came home, he could only sit up in
a wheelchair twice a day," remembers Duval. "I got his hands around a lightweight
bowling ball and he would roll it across the floor to me on the rug.
"Pretty soon, we strapped him into a chair at the foul line of the bowling alley and
he'd roll the ball down the lane. Soon, he could stand and then walk to the ball rack
and carry his own ball to the foul line. His success at bowling was an inspiration for
him to keep exercising."
Richard Duval later wound up bowling for two years on the U.S. professional tour,
still disabled from his bout with polio.
The game that put Helen Duval in the Guinness Book of World Records came in
1982 when she was 65.
That was also a tragic time in Duval's life, however. Her husband was dying of brain
cancer and she would go to her league matches as her only outing away from his
sickbed at home.
As she bowled strike after strike that night, building her way toward a perfect game,
her teammates, all male, congratulated her quietly in acknowledgment that her husband had not long to live.
"Everyone sort of came up to me, one by one, and said `Nice game' and then we
just went on to the next game," says Duval, remembering the sympathy and respect
her teammates had shown.
Aside from her work with the Bowlers Victory League, Duval has also: helped start
the Ladies Professional Bowling Tour in 1949, started junior bowling in California in
the 1950s, become the only woman bowler in the Senior Athletes Hall of Fame, and
been a constant top contender at the annual Women's International Bowling Congress.
She is one of only two women participating in this year's National Bowling Hall of
Fame tournament.
Dorothy Mauldin, a bowler from Marietta, Ga., can't say enough about Duval. In
fact, last year, Mauldin decided enough hadn't been said - so she started a Helen
Duval fan club.
"I thought there would be just 40 or 50 of us in the club, but it mushroomed," says
Mauldin, who heads a 17-member board for the fan club, which will continue Duval's
work of mobilizing hospitalized veterans through bowling. "We had 110 members
sign up at the International Bowling Congress in Tucson last year and now we're at
almost 200 members."
The Victory League's Montanya agrees with Mauldin's sentiments.
"She couldn't be a better ambassador for our sport," she says.
Note: Helen was dedicated to BVL. Support BVL!

Two Women Drafted For 2016
PBA League Competition
By Bill Vint
RENO, Nev. – The two-time defending Professional
Bowlers Association League champion Silver Lake
(Calif.) Atom Splitters will make their bid for an Elias
Cup ―three-peat‖ in 2016 with a roster led by Chris Barnes, Dick Allen and Tom Daugherty, and completed
Thursday when manager Mark Baker added PBA
Rookie of the Year contender Matt McNiel and young
Swedish two-handed star Jesper Svensson to complete
his lineup.
PBA League rosters were filled Thursday during the
GEICO PBA World Series of Bowling VII presented by
Silver Legacy when each of the eight team managers
draft two players in a serpentine draft in the reverse
order of how they finished in 2015. Earlier in the fall,
each manager had protected three players from their
2015 rosters.
The first highlight of Thursday’s draft was the selection of two women who have had success in PBA competition in addition to the newly-revived Professional
Women’s Bowling Association. PWBA Player of the
Year Liz Johnson of Cheektowaga, N.Y., the winner of
the 2015 USBC Queens and Bowlmor AMF U.S.
Women’s Open, and the only woman ever to advance
to two PBA television finals, was selected in the final
round of the draft by Portland Lumberjacks manager
Tim Mack. With the next-to-last pick in the draft, Barbasol Motown Muscle manager Del Ballard Jr. added
PWBA Tour Championship and recent PBA Regional
titlist Danielle McEwan of Stony Point, N.Y., to his roster.
But before the final pick of the draft, Dallas Strikers’
player-manager Norm Duke pulled off a trade with Portland, sending red-hot left-hander Ryan Ciminelli of
Cheektowaga, N.Y., and Johnson to Portland in exchange for Texas two-hander Shawn Maldonado and
North Carolina’s BJ Moore III.
The first player off the draft board, which consisted of
more than 60 PBA members who had expressed their
desire to be part of the 2016 draft, was 2014 PBA
Rookie of the Year Marshall Kent of Yakima, Wash., by
GEICO New York City WTT KingPins manager Carolyn
Dorin-Ballard.
Motown then selected 18-year-old two-handed player
Anthony Simonsen of Princeton, Texas. Third was the
Dallas Strikers who picked Ciminelli. Picking fourth,
Philadelphia Hitmen manager Jason Couch selected
veteran Tom Smallwood of Saginaw, Mich.
The newly-named Portland Lumberjacks selected
Maldonado. Brooklyn Styles manager Johnny Petraglia,
represented at the draft by PBA Hall of Famer Parker
Bohn III, picked veteran Jason Sterner of Covington,
Ga. Last year’s runnerup, L.A. X under manager Andrew Cain, added veteran left-hander Patrick Allen of
Mount Kisco, N.Y. Silver Lake completed the round by
picking rookie Matt McNiel of Prior Lake, Minn.
The final round of picks prior to the last-minute trade
included Swedish two-hander Jesper Svensson (Silver
Lake), Colombia’s Andres Gomez (L.A. X), Rhode Island’s Jon VanHees (Brooklyn), North Carolina’s B.J.
Moore (Portland), Ohio’s David Wodka (Philadelphia),
Liz Johnson (Dallas), McEwan (Motown) and the KingPins, with the final pick, selected New York native John
Szczerbinski.
The draft was covered live, exclusively on PBA’s
online bowling channel, Xtra Frame.
Johnson and McEwan became the second and third
women selected for PBA League competition. Kelly
Kulick of Union, N.J., was picked for the inaugural 2013
PBAL season by Los Angeles and subsequently traded
to New York City.
The PBA League will return to Portland, Maine, for

Australia’s Jason Belmonte won the Pepsi Elite Players Championship as part of
the 2011 PBA World Series of Bowling in Las Vegas, defeating Mike DeVaney, 255238, in the title match. The decision means Belmonte has now won six majors including the 2013, ’14 and ’15 USBC Masters and the 2014 and ’15 PBA Tournaments of Champions.

EARNINGS
Titles
ARLINGTON, Texas - Erica Cutler of Fort Wayne, Indiana, threw 34 consecutive strikes Sunday at the Fort Wayne USBC Women's Bowling Association City Tournament, and the performance helped her break two national scoring records.
The 33-year-old right-hander started her doubles set with a 4-7 spare conversion and then
struck on her next 34 shots, before leaving a 7 pin on her final attempt.
Cutler recorded games of 290, 300 and 299 for an 889 series,
besting the previous mark of 879, shared by Katie Verbil of Wichita,
Kansas, and Bryanna Coté‚ of Red Rock, Arizona.
Cutler's memorable day at Thunder Bowl I also helped her and
Fort Wayne's Brittney Haneline post the highest three-game total
for two women with 1,615. Haneline added a 726 series to the effort.
Angela Brick and Sue Jeziorski of Endicott, New York, set the
doubles mark with 1,591 in 2005.
Both achievements are pending approval from the United States Bowling Congress.
"I was just trying to stay smooth and hit my mark," said Cutler, who was inducted into the Fort
Wayne USBC WBA Hall of Fame in 2014 and now owns four perfect games and three 800 series. "We all had great lines, and everybody was striking, and I felt like that really kept us motivated to keep it going."
Cutler already owned the Fort Wayne USBC WBA three-game women's record after rolling an
864 series in 2011, and she relied on that experience in beating her own record on the way into
the national record books.
Cheering her along the way at Thunder Bowl I were her husband, Doug, and daughter,
Brooklyn.
"It's an amazing accomplishment," Cutler said. "My husband and daughter were there, and
that was great, especially since my husband had never seen me shoot 300."
The achievement also was bittersweet for Cutler, whose mother died in October.
"The hardest part was not being able to call her afterwards, since she was the reason I started
bowling," Cutler said. "I'm very thankful to my family and friends who have supported me
throughout my bowling career. We really have a great bowling family here in Fort Wayne."

Storm’s Paint the Lanes PINK® Auction:
Meet the Winners
Every October, for Breast Cancer Awareness month, Storm brings the bowling
community together from around the world to help Paint the Lanes PINK® and raise
funds for breast cancer research.
With your help during the
month of October and a
generous donation from the
Chrisman Foundation we
were able to raise $50,000
for the Huntsman Cancer
Institute while spreading
awareness for a cause that
affects millions.
You might have seen our
Paint the Lanes PINK auction last October. This auction alone raised $25,495.96
for the cause. Thank you all
for helping us share the
auction and continuing to
bid every single day. We
wanted to introduce you to
our winners and share their
stories.
October 1: Karla Alsgood was our FIRST winner! Her mother had breast cancer
so she helps us Paint the Lanes Pink every October in honor of her! She was supposed to go to a Costa Rican bowling tournament to defend a title but was injured in
an accident so she couldn’t bowl this year. She decided to spend the money she
would have spent on her trip on a cause that was very close to her heart.
October 2, 3, 12, 14, 15, 18, 28: Christopher Voshell and his family love bowling
and are ―die hard Storm guys.‖ They support
bowling organizations and causes throughout the
year. When they heard about the Paint the Lanes
Pink auction they knew they wanted to be part of
it. He will be giving the bowling balls to bowlers
that his family knows that have had loved ones
who fought this battle personally. They will also
donate one to raffle off to the participants of an
Elite Youth Tour. ―This is bigger than bowling…
this is about raising money and awareness for a
cause that is being fought by so many, as well as
in my current family.‖ We are also excited to
share that Chris shot a 300 game and 808 series with his Paint the Lanes PINK
bowling ball!
October 4, 11: Tom Sterley loves to bowl and donate money to different causes!
He’s legally blind and says that Storm equipment rolls great for him in his leagues.
He had a friend who was diagnosed with breast cancer in his late 40’s. He was
treated and went into remission but it eventually returned. Tom said he tries to tell
his story of his friend because there’s not as much awareness for men with breast
cancer. He later bid on one for his son-in-law as well! ―If I can help support and
grow awareness than that’s what makes it worth it. Cancer sucks!‖
October 5: Greg Winter helps us Paint the Lanes PINK for his mother who lost her
battle with Breast Cancer. He loves to bowl and wanted to be part of the auction. He
is a huge supporter of bowling and loves to bowl himself. He is from England and
helped cheer on Team Europe to their victory in the Weber Cup this year!
October 6: Lynn Corey bid on the Paint the Lanes PINK bowling ball because he
wanted to give back for all of the help his pro shop received at Junior Gold. With so
many youth bowlers it took all hands on deck to make sure they were ready for
competition. Lynn plans to display the Paint the Lanes Pink ball in his pro shop, Star
Pro Shop in Addison, Illinois.
October 7: Kevin Mikalouski’s grandmother was very important to him growing up
and was diagnosed with breast cancer. He bid the numbers in his Grandmother’s
birth date because he’ll never forget that day. He was happy he could do something
in honor of her and give back to a cause that has touched his family.
October 8, 30: Michael Sinek says cancer has had a prominent influence on his
family. He just lost his father to cancer on August 31. His uncle is currently in pallia-
16 www.bowlingworld.com - February 2016
tive care suffering from multi-organ cancer. Anything he can do to help beat cancer
he is all-in. ―It is awesome that Storm Products and the Chrisman Family support
such important causes that touch so many of us.‖
October 9, 25: Anthony Cannella’s brother had lung cancer so he knows how
much cancer can impact a family. He loves to bowl and when he heard about the
auction he knew he wanted to bid. It was a special bowling ball for a great cause
that he could get behind. He later bid on one for his nephew as well.
October 10: Rick Busch has three cousins with cancer. One is a survivor and two
have passed away. He bid in honor of his family and all of the people who are fighting cancer currently.
October 13, 17: John Goedicke said he has a lot of cancer in the family. He has
lost his father, his uncle, his grandparents and most recently, his brother in law just
3 months ago. More than half of his family has been affected by cancer in some
form. He hopes that donating money to breast cancer will help find a cure with other
forms. ―We thank Bill and Barbara and all of the other people at Storm for trying to
help such a great cause.‖
October 16: Tyler Spence said that one of his family members was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. He loves to bowl and he just wanted to help out the
cause. It was important to him and he was happy he’s able to give back to something meaningful.
October 19, 29: Patrick Staples and his wife are always looking for ways to give
back. His wife is a thyroid cancer survivor and gives to Locks of Love. When Patrick
saw the Paint the Lanes Pink auction he knew that he wanted to be part of helping
the cause!
October 20, 26: Henry Blough owns a bowling center in Pennsylvania and shares
his love of bowling with his family. He supports Storm and wanted to help support
the cause that touches so many people that he knows.
October 21: Wayne Shorter’s mom passed away to Alzheimer’s in January. His
bowling was always very important to his mom. His Mom sacrificed to give him the
money to bowl in his very first bowling league. He stopped bowling when he joined
the military and raised a family. He found when he was ready to return that the
bowling community was there when he was ready to come back. He bid on this ball
to thank his mom for all of her sacrifices and give to a very special cause.
October 22: Warren Burr had a friend from high school who he lost touch with as
they grew up. He was recently connected with her on Facebook as she was fighting
Breast Cancer and going through surgery. She is a survivor and he dedicated this
ball to his friend.
October 23: Sinclair Wang bid on the ball for a good friend whose mother had
breast cancer. She is a Hall of Fame bowler in New Jersey and he wanted to get
her something special. He said that it’s difficult to purchase equipment for her but he
knew that this would mean a lot to her. Her favorite color is pink and now she has a
high performance ball to throw in honor of her mom.
October 24: Melvin Dell collects every Storm bowling ball that’s ever been made.
He’s been with Storm since the beginning and it was important to him to be part of
the auction and add this bowling ball to his collection. He is happy that he’s able to
stand beside Bill Chrisman and raise money for a wonderful cause!
October 27: Blaine Todd bid in honor of his mother and sister who are both survivors. He is a proud member of Storm Nation and is happy that he can help out the
cause in this special auction. He will display this Paint the Lanes PINK ball proudly.
October 31: Kenny Lytle’s daughter-in-law, Mary Ann, found a mass that turned
out to be breast cancer in 2014. She’s fought ―one day at a time‖ through chemotherapy, radiation, and surgeries. The cancer and treatments forced Mary Ann and
his son Craig to delay their wedding. They were married this past December. Mary
Ann has been an inspiration to her husband, friends, and family throughout her entire journey. Kenny urges women of every age to make sure they remain vigilant
and get any suspicious masses checked. Kenny is proud to join Storm and Paint the
Lanes PINK!
Thanks for helping us Paint the Lanes Pink in 2015! We’ll be back next October with
more ways to support the cause. We’re committed to giving back and it wouldn’t be
possible without your help!
9-Pin No Tap Tour LV @ Sunset Strike Zone
Henry Murphy Wins 1st Title
Henry Murphy bowled at 1:30 and had a tough time getting lined up. He did finish
with his best game, so he gave it another try re-entering at 4 pm. Naturally, Henry
started out with his highest game so far on the Tour, a 276, beating his previous
best by 30 pins. He stayed in that nice 'groove' except for his Throw-Out 141 game,
ending up with a spectacular 872 series. Henry has been one of the Tour's most
ardent recruiters, becoming one of the LV Tour's 1st Life Members, by bringing in 5
paid Members. He used a Rotogrip ball drilled by Johnny Petraglia Jr at the Strike
Zone's Pro Shop, for his first Title.
Henry was rewarded with a hefty $1,225.00 payday for his efforts, commenting that
he really enjoys bowling on the Tour and plans to reinvest his winnings by practicing
every day.
He was really
excited
and
proud of Winning his first
Title and he
especially
appreciated
being cheered
on by the
Bisnar
and
Zafra families.

ASK BOB
By Bob Korth
Q. I am a right handed stroker. I'm having some trouble with my arm swing. It wraps
around my body. I was taught and still bowl with a four step approach, but now do a
crossover step to create some space, but the real problem I've noticed is that when I
do push away I push outwards to the side rather than straight ahead. I have tried to
rectify this but even when I consciously push away straight ahead, or even to the
left, on video replay the ball goes out to the side and then behind my back. I have
also noticed that my shoulders swivel with the ball during my approach and this
maximizes the problem. I've dropped to a 185 average from a 195 over the past few
months and I feel my swing is really holding me back. Is there anything you could
suggest for me to try and rectify this?
A. I needed some help with this one so I contacted a friend of mine and of bowling
Mr. Bill Hall. Bill has been a coach to many professionals throughout his career.
Bill's answer to this question is to make sure you hold the weight of the ball in your
left hand. Keep the left hand under the ball and then be sure to start the push away
with said left hand. On the downswing transfer the ball weight to the right hand. This
will help keep the arm straight in the backswing. Pushing with the right hand causes
the ball to be pushed to the right then it swings behind your body because the swing
plane is thrown off. If you are left handed just reverse these steps. FYI! If you would
like to get a video lesson from Mr. Bill Hall you can send an email
to [email protected] He will tell you how to send him a video. He will send you
back a detailed answer with video's of his own. The charge for this service is a very
reasonable $40.00. It is well worth it. He sent me a video of his explanation of the
above problem. Bill does an excellent job showing both why and what you need to
do to correct your problem.
Q. At the lanes where I bowl league it seems like a few times a night something
happens with the pin rake and a pin is left in the gutter. This is right beside the pins.
I have heard you are not supposed to bowl until this pin in the gutter is cleared
away. Is this correct? Other league members have said it doesn't matter it is in the
gutter and out of play.
A. You are correct. Though pins in the gutter don't count for any score they could
alter the outcome of a shot. Pins are flying around they could hit that pin in the gutter and fly up onto the deck and knock down extra pins. They could also act as a
block and you could possibly get less pins because the pin in the gutter stopped it.
So take a little time and re-rack or call the desk and have them remove the pin.
Q. I have been having trouble hanging in the thumb lately. I have it taped up but it's
either too loose or too tight. I just can't seem to get a proper feel. Do you know of a
solution to this problem?
A. Yes! I do have a solution for you. I have a friend who invented a better way to
take up space in the thumb hole than tape. Actually it is used in conjunction with
tape. It is called Magic Thumb Carpet. It is the same shape as black or white tape
that goes in the thumb hole. The difference is this is soft like carpet and it goes in
the back of the hole. It takes the place of 3 pieces of white tape. If you need more
tape you put black or white bowlers tape in the front of the hole. You can have a
tight feel with Magic Carpet but you can still get a fast release due to the fact that
there is no suction created. The yarn on the tape allows air flow around the thumb.
Because there is no suction it also keeps swelling of the thumb to a minimum. So
you will find you will keep the feel the same longer. You will not find Magic Carpet in
pro shops this is a grass roots product. The good news I have it at all times. I have
been using it since 1997. It lasts a long time and works very well. If you want to buy
some the cost is $ 20.00 for 10 of them plus a self addressed/self stamped envelope
with 2 regular stamps. Send it to Bob Korth 750 Hemlock Ave. Central Point, Oregon 97502. Or write me at [email protected]

Yosemite Lanes 6 Gamer
We had 31 entries this past Sunday January 24th
for the Yosemite Lanes Scratch 6 gamer on the PBA
Chameleon Pattern. Kevin Harlin of Milpitas was the
qualifying leader with 1411 for his 6 games a 235
average. Myles Duty of Modesto qualified 2nd with
1361 for his 6 games (a 226 average). Myles as the
#2 seed defeated #3 Travis Hewitt of Fremont 217
to 195 in the semifinal match to set up the final.
The Championship Match saw both bowlers striking a lot, but a costly 6-7-10 split from Harlin in the
9th frame opened the door for Myles to win the
match and tournament 256 to 243. Myles wins
$369.00 for the victory and becomes the first left
hander to win a Yosemite Lanes 6 Gamer in over a
year. This victory also gets Myles off "the bubble" for
the TOC. Congratulations to Myles and all the other
cashers.

Pacific Ave Bowl
By Gerry Wellbaum
January 17, 2015
Fun month of bowling here at Pacific Avenue Bowl. Big games and big sets galore, as bowlers surge toward the end of the winter season. Teams trying their best
to hold their top spot and other teams ready to pounce, if that team falters. Always
fun to see.
Bowlers that are putting their best effort in the form of big scores are the likes of
Ren Nakashima 300/760, Romeo Bermudez 299,756, Gary Alee 300/795, Kioni
Sodaria 300/762, Kevin Amodo 299/812, Doug Leeworthy 299/788, Mark
Blankenship 297/769, Shaun Reft 279/815 and Chris Rose 300/760. Great bowling
guys. Keep it up!
Seeing as winter leagues are steaming toward their ends, that means it is never
too early to start thinking about your teams for summer. Always good to see if your
team is full or if you have to find a bowler. If you are looking for a new league, Pacific Ave Bowl has leagues for all ages and skill levels. Our staff is very good at
helping you find that perfect league. Just remember that bowling will keep you of
the heat and into a cool environment. Just take a look at our new summer schedule. Now let‟s look at all the great scores from the month that was:

Keeping the Memory of
Tony Reyes Alive
The 3rd Tony Reyes Memorial Adult-Youth
Tournament is a Mega Watt Smiling Success!
By: Bette Addington, California Bowling Writers
San Jose, CA. In a 32-lane bowling center, located in
San Jose, just three years ago, the Tony Reyes Memorial
event was born. Ed Godbout, the center’s youth director,
wanted to pay tribute to the man who encouraged him to
start a youth program at 4th Street Bowl—Tony Reyes.
Each year this tournament has grown and improved
thanks to the commitment of Godbout to make this an
event bowlers will come and bowl with a youth bowler and
share in the memory of a person whose memory still lives
on in so many bowlers’ lives to this day. Some enter with
a youth friend or relative; others enter and are placed with
a youth partner. Some enter to bowl in the scratch division while others come to bowl the handicap division.
Some bowl just one squad; others bowl several. It’s all
for fun and it’s all to help raise funds to support the Tony
Reyes Memorial Scholarship.
The 2016 tournament took place the weekend of January 9-10. This year’s event was expanded by adding
more squads to accommodate the large amount of entries. ―After having to turn away bowlers last year, I
wanted to make sure I had enough spots for everyone to
bowl, so I added more squads, and, again this year, it got
so big I had re-entries and I had to stop taking people in.
I guess this is a good problem to have!‖ said Godbout.
Godbout said he also talked with as many entrants this
year to get feedback as he could and already is planning
on adding another squad for 2017!
This year’s event grew by about 100 more entrants.
Over the weekend there were 101 handicapped teams
and 35 scratch teams competing which brought his total
number of entrants to 272! The tournament drew PBA
members PJ Haggerty, Marty Deh, Max Epps, Chris
Preble, Joe Goldstein Sr., and Joe Goldstein, Jr. Sean
Mamlock even dropped by to check it out! Godbout even
enlisted some of his PAB buddies to come out and help
with the event.
Tony Reyes’ family were there the entire weekend to
take in the festivities—Jessica (Tony’s Mom), Norma
(Tony’s sister), Albert (Tony’s brother), Mike (Tony’s
nephew) and Gianna (Tony’s daughter). Godbout added,
―I can always depend on all of them to show up anytime I
do anything with Tony’s name. They even show up in
Reno for the NorCal All Stars event where I give out
scholarships!‖
Something new this year, Godbout went out and ordered
one-of-a-kind trophies for the champions for this year and
from here on out. Although money is used to purchase
the champion trophies and plaques, most of the money
raised goes back in to the Tony Reyes Memorial Scholarship fund as everyone who helps put this tournament on
are all volunteers. This year, Godbout said, ―I will be
giving away over $4,000.00 in scholarships and adding
more next year.‖
For the first time this year’s event had not one but two
300 games shot! The first one was on Saturday’s Handicap squad and was rolled by adult Scott Cramer; the
second was bowled by another adult, Mark Archuleta, on
Sunday’s Handicap squad. The Handicap squads are
bowled on a house shot and the Scratch squads were
bowled on the Tony Reyes pattern that Cathie Judy, the
manager at 4th Street Bowl, and Godbout came up with.
I asked a couple participants for their take on bowling
this tournament—first-time youth entrant, Zack Long of
Taft, CA, said, ―It was a very fun tournament, the directors
did a great job on the tournament, and a great way to
honor Tony Reyes!‖ Zack’s partner, Chris Preble/Coach
for Fresno State Men’s & Women’s Bulldog Bowling
Teams, added, ―I really enjoyed participating in the Tony
Reyes Memorial. Tony was a good friend and his loss
has left a great void in the bowling community. The turnout of talented youth bowlers was impressive and honored his memory. The mood during the tournament was
light and fun but very competitive—the way Tony would
have wanted it. I look forward to supporting the event in
the future.‖
PBA regular to bowl in this event, PJ
Haggerty of Roseville, CA, added, ―Bowling a Jr/Adult
tournament in Tony’s name is a no-brainer for me. Tony
was a mentor of mine through junior bowling and college.
He inspired and encouraged so many kids to practice, go
to college, and give the tour a shot. It only makes sense
that his buddies bowl his tournament. It’s what he would
expect from us.‖

Life in the fast lane—Tony is smiling down on Ed Godbout this month as he just found out he was chosen as
the 2015 PBA Tony Reyes Memorial Service Award recipient! And rightfully so, as he is already working on the
2017 event saying it will be held again in January, ―right
after the holidays‖ as that time seems to work out because there are no other tournaments going on at this
time. In addition, he currently has a youth program of 40
bowlers. If you missed this year’s event and would still
like to contribute to the Tony Reyes Memorial Scholarship
fund, donations are accepted all year long. You can follow on Facebook by liking the ―Tony Reyes Memorial
Scholarship‖ page, or you can reach Godbout at (408)
314-0248.
