PBA Regional Tour Takes On
Whole New Meaning
SEATTLE – The Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) has made considerable
changes to its Regional Tour to coincide with changes being implemented on the
PBA Tour for the 2004-2005 Season. One of the most significant changes will be
the addition of $600,000 to the Regional prize funds for the 2004-2005 Season (a
20% increase). This comes on the heels of the increased number of tournaments
for members over the past few years.
The change is being made in anticipation of an increase in regional entries including bowlers who did not earn exempt status on the PBA Tour during the 2003-2004
Season. Those bowlers now will try to earn their exemption through the Regional
Tour.
“The restructuring of the PBA Tour was necessary in order to create both an inspi

Last shot at Saratoga
The first event of 2004 was held at AMF Saratoga lanes,
Saratoga, California. It was our first event of 2004, and unfortunately probably Saratoga’s last as Saratoga Lanes is
scheduled for closure in March of this year. You could
hear all the great stories being told as members and guest
recalled all the great events and bowlers that had past through the doors over the
years and decades. A special thanks to Greg Gonzales, his desk staff, mechanics,
and all the employees who hosted a great and memorable event for everyone to add
to their memories of Saratoga Lanes for years to come.
Entries for this event were lower than anticipated, we qualified 14 Seniors and 5
PRO
Lee Patterson & Kim Power Are First-Time PRO Champs - Dave Hewitt Wins
Another One, Close Scores Make For An Exciting Day At AMF Mowry Lanes
There have been higher-scoring PRO tournaments, but never have we seen an
event where scoring was as close as it was during our January 11th event at AMF
Mowry Lanes in Fremont. The oil pattern was a bit on the tough side, making every
shot count. In the end, a total of 17 people made the main prize fund cash lists
across all three divisions...with just 88 pins separating those 17 bowlers.
How close was the competition? So close that leads were changing hands literally
every game and literally in every division; so close that it would take more space
than we have here to detail just how competitive the action was. How tough were
the lane conditions? So tough that just one bowler...Jimmy Jean, of Yuba City...was
able to record all eight games at or above the 200 mark.
Lee Patterson made the biggest splash of all 64 entries, winning the Open Division on his first try...and he almost didn’t bowl. The Fresno resident was a bit tuckered out after competing in another tournament several hundred miles away just the
day before, but made a last-minute decision to drive to Fremont. The gamble paid
off, as Patterson took the top spot on the strength of his 1,810 total over the eightgame route.
Patterson’s win was a real squeaker, though, as he edged-out young Mac Martin
by a mere six pins to take the $775 top award; Martin earned $425 for his runner-up
1,804 total. There was no faulting either bowler all day: each battled for the lead
without stumbling, and neither showed any sign of faltering. At the end, Martin had a
little trouble carrying the pocket, and his 206 finale couldn’t hold off Patterson’s 224.
Nick Melnikoff was also in the thick of things, sitting among the top three heading
into the final game. But Melnikoff, too, had carry problems at the end of the day; his
194 finish took him to an 1,802 total and third place ($350). Melnikoff also recorded
the day’s only perfect 300 game.
Jeff O’Connor is a formidable competitor who, until this tournament, was just a
whisker away from showing what he can really do. This time out, though, he overcame the challenging lane conditions to grab the fourth-place spot on the strength of
his 1,788 total ($300).
A mere 22 pins separated fifth place through 10th place...an incredibly tight spread
for a tournament. In order, the final six cashers in the Open Division’s main prize
fund were Steve Ting (1,766 total - $225), Glenn Reichmuth (1,757 - $175), Gene
Bruihl (1,756 - $160), Dave Snow (1,750 - $155), George Aboud (1,746 - $150) and
Cid Blueford (1,744 - $145).
Seven of the Top 10 Open Division bowlers also cashed in side pot action
Senior Division competition was brutal, with just 21 pins separating the Top Four.
Dave Hewitt struggled the first five games but still managed to hang around the
fringes of the cash list. He then proved that tenacity can pay off, recording a 731
total his final three games to edge Don Clyburn by just nine pins: 1,770 – 1,761.
Hewitt, recording his second straight Senior Divison win, pocketed $550, while Clyburn banked $300.
Perennial threat Bill Tuttle also made his presence known. Despite a slow start,
Tuttle came on strong his final five games, topping his set with a 279 game to take
third place (1,750 - $175). Garrie Yacap overcame a very slow start, bouncing back
from his 166-173 openers in a big way to secure fourth place (1,749 - $150).
All Top Four Senior Division bowlers also cashed in side pots.
This is the point in the story where we stop to consider that, so far, just 66 pins
are separating 14 bowlers: 1,744 (Cid Blueford) to 1,810 (Lee Patterson).
Kim Power has been making her presence known for the past six or eight months,
improving each tournament. (She recently became just the second woman to record
a perfect 300 game in a PRO tournament.)
Power wasn’t even in the hunt at the half-way mark of the Women’s Division
competition. But she showed the grit that is a hallmark of her personality, turning on
the afterburners with a 932 in the back half to earn her first PRO title with a 1,761
total, worth $300.
Two-time champ Jodi Smith took the runner-up spot with a 1,725 total ($175),
while Amie Willett grabbed third place with a 1,722 ($110).
All Top Three Women’s Division cashers also took home side pot money.
There you have it, just 88 pins separating 17 main prize fund cashers, from Lee
Patterson (1,810) to Amie Willett (1,722). And that’s how tough PRO competition is.
Quite a few other bowlers made trips to the pay window. Other cashers on the
day included Curtis Cage, Tracy Castro, Dwayne Cross, Charlie Esteban, Bobby
Flores, Ed Floyd, Dave Houck, Mike Hung, Jimmy Jean, Marchael Kelly, Jim Montgomery, Don Parks, Ed Rehnberg, Roger Schindewolf, Karen Sookikian, Chet

"It seems like every where you turn,
Storm is involved in a special in a special
bowling event," Baur said. "We are truly
pleased Storm is part of this ‘new event.'
Bill Supper, vice president of tournament organizations for Storm, said, "In
2003 the ABC/Storm Challenge was very
successful in Knoxville. For 2004, ABC
had the Bowlers Journal Championships
available. That's a long running tournament that every ABC tournament bowler
knows and for Storm to get an entitlement in that event was just a natural progression."
Other Bowlers Journal tournament
sponsors will be Golden Phoenix and
Boomtown.
Any resemblance between the 2004
Bowlers Journal event to old BJ events
will be surprising since Baur hopes to
make "a popular event even more popular with major changes."
Baur will attempt to rebuild the BJ tournament to its glory years by adding side
events for women, seniors and super
seniors.
"First of all, we're going change from
the old five-game format to a three-game
format. We're also going to look at a 199under singles event with its own prize
fund plus senior doubles and senior open
singles."
The complete new package just unveiled will include 180 average and under
"pins over average" with super senior and
women's divisions, senior singles and
doubles plus 199-under singles. There
also will be a mixed "pins over average"
doubles event.
But don't despair, the traditional open,
singles, doubles and classic pro divisions
will still be available.
"Our goal is to offer a side tournament
to the ABC with something for every
bowler who comes to Reno to bowl in the
American Bowling Congress' National
Championship Tournament at the National Bowling Stadium," Baur said.
Presenting sponsors of the 2004 ABC
Tournament will be the Eldorado, Silver
Legacy, Circus-Circus hotels/casinos in
downtown Reno.
(Continued next column)
"The commitment of these local hotels
and casinos is very important," Baur said.
"Some will even provide shuttle service
to the Starlite Lanes, which will help
bowlers easily get to the event from
downtown."
Starlite Lanes, which will also host the
popular Forty Frame Game Tournament,
features the latest technology in
HPL9000 lane surfaces and is located
only a one-mile taxi ride from the National Bowling Stadium.
Finally, as executive director of the
ABC Hall of Fame Committee Ed Baur is
trying to figure out ways to showcase the
Hall of Fame bowlers who serve on the
committee through clinics or appearances.
He doesn't want them taking to the golf
courses in their few free hours, he wants
them to possibly sign autographs or do
clinics at some bowling center in the Milwaukee area.
In other words, how many league bowlers would show up at a bowling clinic run
by Hall of Famers like Dick Weber, John
Jowdy, Bill Lillard, Ray Bluth and Les
Zikes to name a few?
Baur could charge $5 for a two-hour
session and easily could raise a couple
thousand dollars for the Earl Anthony
Memorial Scholarship fund.
In other words, Ed Baur is not only a
thinker, he's a doer. He doesn't play a pat
hand, he takes chances.
So with that in mind, look for an upcoming announcement that the ABC
Masters will be held in Milwaukee next
year.

Super seniors for the Sunday finals. In
the senior division it took an average of
216.4 to make the cut, while in the Super
seniors averaging 214.2 got you to the
Sunday finals. With five bowlers in the
Super seniors, a step ladder finals with
two game total pin matches was used on
Sunday.
In the Super Seniors, we used a 2
game match stepladder for the finals.
The first round was won by Vaughan
Doody (426) over John Hewitt (421).
Curtis Cage then stepped up and won
the second round (481) over Vaughn’s
(425). Curtis continued on to win round
three (443) over Ralph Willis (394). Curtis then bowled Dave Johnson in the final
match. Curtis continued on shooting
280, 259 (539) over Dave Johnson’s 201,
266 (467) to capture the first Super senior title for 2004.
In the Senior division, leader Terry
Leong started out strong. However, Ed
Silva stayed right behind and in game 5
took the lead. At the 7 game break Ed
Silva led at +644, with Sam Carter in 2nd
at +600. After the break there was still a
lot of bowling to be done. Ed led until
game 9, when Sam Carter moved ahead
to the lead.
Then in game 10 Terry
Leong came back strong to take the lead.
Then in game 13 Sam fired back to take
the lead at +911 with Terry in 2nd at
+823. Sam Finished strong to capture
the first Senior title of 2004. Rodney
Garrick who was 5th after 13, fired off a
278 and with his bonus pins moved himself to second place over Terry who finished in 3rd.
Congratulations to our division champions: Sam Carter and Curtis Cage. Also,
once again thanks to Greg Gonzales and
his staff for doing a great job and wish
them the best.

Next 900 Could Net 10 Grand
If Rolled In Kegel’s Million
The first known 900 series in American 10-pin bowling was rolled by Leo Bentley in Ohio in 1931. In
1982, the great Glenn Allison tossed a 900 in a mixed league in LaHabra, California. After Allison,
three more bowlers rolled three consecutive 300 games, but for various reasons, none were blessed
with the approval of the American Bowling Congress to recognize them as an official record.
Finally, on February 2, 1997, a young collegiate bowler rolled a 900 in a collegiate/youth sanctioned
sweeper in Nebraska, and Jeremy Sonnenfeld became the first bowler to be recognized for the official
record of 900. Five more 900’s have been rolled after Sonnenfeld’s, the most recent by Japanese pro
bowler Ryo Nishimura in Tokyo in November 2003.
Altogether, the ‘perfect’ 900 series has been achieved 14 times, and five of them have been officially
recognized and received awards from the American Bowling Congress. However, other than a nice
award for some, having their name in the record books, and accolades from their family and friends,
none of the 900 shooters have gained much monetarily.
Of course it’s not about the money, but if a bowler in the Kegel’s Million Tournament rolls a 900 February 13-May 23, it will be worth a $10,000 bonus if they are entered in the optional singles event. If
more than one is shot, the bonus prize will be split.
High scores are everywhere in today’s bowling environment, and Kegel’s Million was created to demonstrate that even higher scores are possible under the best conditions. These optimum conditions will
be provided in the all new state-of-the-art Kegel Training Center in Florida during the Kegel’s Million
event.
Will we see the next 900 and a $10,000 reward to the shooter? Will we see a new ABC team record
of 4000 with one or more teams earning a $1 million bonus? Stranger things have happened, so stay
tuned . . .
Kegel’s Million is a scratch five player team tournament with a $50,000 Guaranteed Top Prize sponsored by more than a dozen industry companies. There will be 12 weekend qualifying events leading
up to a $150,000 Grand Championship Finals on May 22-23, 2004. Each weekend will have its own
guaranteed top prize of $5000 with a 1:6 cash ratio. Teams may consist of any combination of men or
women. No more than two team members may be a professional bowlers and no more than one may
be a professional national titleholder. No more than one player may be a national team member within
the past three years (Team USA, Team Sweden, etc) unless there are no professionals on the team;
then two are allowed. Singles and Brackets are also offered as optional events. 100% of the Team
and Singles prize money will be returned until all guarantees are met. Bowlers must be a minimum of
16 years of age, and non-USA residents are subject to a 30% tax deduction from all prizes unless the
country is exempt and proper forms are provided.

Weber Wins Taxing U.S. Open
In a shootout between two PBA Hall of Famers, Pete Weber, St. Ann, Mo., defeated, Brian Voss, Alpharetta, Ga., 231-178, to win the 61st U.S Open presented by
Jackson Hewitt Tax Service Sunday in the Anaheim Convention Center.
Weber, who picked up his third U.S. Open title, seventh major Tour title and 31st
career title, took advantage of Voss’ open in the 7th frame by striking in two of his
next three shots. Needing seven pins in the 10th to secure the win, Weber threw the
ball straight down the middle of the lane for a strike, giving him the $100,000 firstplace prize and three-year Tour exemption.
“I found a pretty good shot and just went with it,” Weber, a leading candidate for
PBA Player of the Year, said. “I said at the beginning of the week that you have to be
patient, keep the ball in play and make your spares. I stayed calm all week and when
it was time to let my emotions go, I let them go.”
In the semifinals, Voss defeated Chris Barnes, Dallas, 214-193, placing
him in the final game of the U.S. Open for the first time in his career. Heading into the 8th frame, Barnes needed to strike out to advance, but couldn’t
convert a 4-6-7-9-10 split, paving the way for Voss.
Voss, who won $50,000, struck on 11 of 12 shots as he defeated defending U.S Open champion Walter Ray Williams, Ocala, Fla., 260-214 in the
quarterfinals.
In the first match of the day, Williams struck twice in the 10th frame to secure a 228-198 victory over amateur Osku Palermaa, Finland, to advance.
Palermaa was the first international amateur in the history of the PBA to
make a televised finals.
Barnes earned $25,000 for his third place finish, while Williams and Palermaa earned $15,000 and $10,000, respectively.
The Tour will continue next week with the PBA Odor-Eaters Open at
Golden Pin Lanes in Tucson, Ariz.
Pete Weber’s Bio:
Weber was the 1980 PBA Rookie of the Year. He was the youngest player
in the history of the PBA Tour (25) to reach the 10-title plateau. One year
later, in 1988, Weber captured the BPAA U.S. Open and the following year
added the PBA National Championship to give him all three jewels of the
PBA Triple Crown at just 26 years of age. He is one of only four men to
complete the Triple Crown (World Championship, Tournament of Champions, U.S. Open). In 1989, he became the fastest to reach $1 million in career earnings (253 tournaments). In 1997, Weber became just the second to
eclipse $2 million. Weber joined his father in the PBA Hall of Fame in 1998,
becoming the only father-son inductees. With three wins on the ’01-’02 PBA
Tour, Weber tied then surpassed his legendary father, Dick, in career wins.
PERSONAL FACTS: Growing up amongst many of the sport’s all-time
greats, Weber bowled his first perfect game at the age of 12. By 15 he was
competing in ABC sanctioned league competition against adults, and, in his
first game of league in 1978, shot 300. In his spare time, Weber is a scratch
golfer and enjoys playing the popular video game, “Golden Tee Golf”. He
won the 2002 ESPY Award for Best Bowler. Pete Weber St. Ann, MO

WORLD
WIBC's Board Support For Single
Membership Unwavering,
Responds To Activity In Industry
With Proposed Amendments
GREENDALE, Wis. – The Women’s International Bowling Congress
Board of Directors met Jan. 14, 2004, and confirmed its strong commitment to a single membership organization under the United States Bowling Congress banner. In addition, the Board approved contingency legislation that will be brought to the delegates for approval at the 2004
WIBC Annual Meeting in May.
The WIBC Board moved forward with a major component of its contingency plan by approving legislation that would open WIBC’s membership to male bowlers; this legislation must be voted on by the WIBC
delegates. In addition, the contingency legislation will significantly
change the organization's structure and place it in a position whereby it
could apply to the United States Olympic Committee for National Governing Body status for the sport of bowling.
“The WIBC Board continues to be fully supportive of USBC, and remain unified and unwavering in their support of a single membership organization,” Sylvia Broyles, WIBC president, said. “Last year, our delegates, members and associations wanted to know what would happen in
the event a single membership organization was not approved. Again,
this year, we are developing a contingency plan that will prepare the organization in the unfortunate event the revised Plan of Merger is not approved.”
“Make no mistake, WIBC leadership firmly believes the direction to
take is to have a ‘single’ membership organization,” Roseann Kuhn,
WIBC executive director, said. “I’ll say emphatically, that this contingency legislation is not an alternative to the revised Plan of Merger and
we in no way want this legislation construed in such a way for people to
believe otherwise. While we fully support a single membership organization, we are also responsible for the health and well being of WIBC if the
revised Plan of Merger is rejected like it was last year. And, since others
have revealed portions of their contingency plans, there was an obligation on our part to move our plan ahead of schedule and place WIBC in
a position to succeed if USBC fails.”
Broyles said, “While this is a historic move for an organization that has
been a ‘women’s only’ organization for nearly 88 years, the Board truly
considers this contingency legislation just that - a ‘contingency’ - and
used ONLY in the event the revised Plan of Merger fails.”
At the 2003 WIBC Annual Meeting in Reno, Nev., speculation on contingency planning became the spotlight after the WIBC Delegates rejected the merger proposal by a narrow margin. In an address to the
delegates following the vote, Kuhn advised the delegates to look for future changes to the organization. After outlining a litany of statistics
showing the decline of league participation and membership figures,
Kuhn said, “These cold, hard numbers will guide the course of action
that has been placed before us.”
Kuhn said, “Last year, the delegates wanted to know what we were
going to do. This year, we’re telling them in advance of the vote on the
revised Plan of Merger. However, the best case scenario is for the delegates to approve the revised merger document as well as the contingency legislation.” She further stated, “It not only is the right thing to do
for the future of the sport, but for the future of WIBC. While approval of
both gives WIBC a significant chance for survival, the only realistic path
that makes sense is a single, unified membership organization.”

The 25th Annual
Bill Rhodman Memorial
Singles Classic
Bowls in Daly City
At Classic Lanes
The Western Region TNBA Harvey Johnson scrambled to relocate this
year’s Bill Rhodman Memorial Tournament. The unplanned closure of the
Castaways Hotel and Bowling Center in Las Vegas, came as a huge surprise.
Harvey Johnson had a huge task to achieve. Las Vegas is a busy town
and very populated with bowling centers. So busy that it was impossible to
get the lanes needed to run the tournament and secure affordable room
rates. After exhausting all options it was clear the tournament was not going
to be in Las Vegas.
Great news for Northern California, new hosting center will be Classic
Lanes in Daly City. Please see ad on page 13 for more information and to
obtain an entry.

Ed Baur May be Best Kept Secret in Bowling Industry
Ed Baur Works Diligently to Bring New Flash and Glitter to Traditional ABC Events
While Fostering Relations With New Tournaments/Events/Sponsors
Ed Baur, no relation to the famous clothing manufacture, may be the best kept
secret in the bowling industry.
His business card reads: "Ed Baur, group executive, tournaments, communications and marketing for the American Bowling Congress."
But that title only seems to be the tip of the iceberg, or should we say tip of the old
bowling pin.
With the endorsement and support of Roger Dalkin and Jack Mordini, the two top
men in the ABC hierarchy, Ed Baur has been reshaping the shape of the ABC from a
tournament standpoint.
Baur has helped reinvent the ABC National Championship Tournament, which is
one of the reasons it continues to thrive. Late last year the ABC announced that
deadline for entering the tournament had been extended until Feb. 14 and the announced Feb. 14-June 27 running date until June 28.
With 16,105 team entries already in hand before 2004 arrived on the calendar, the
ABC is hoping to break the 17,285 entry mark set in 1995 when the National Bowling
Stadium opened in downtown Reno, Nev.
Baur and Mordini have been discussing the possibility of building 60 lanes in future ABC tournament sites. This would enable 72 more teams to bowl on weekends,
which are hot in demand year after year.
"If we did that, we might be able to add a few dark days which we feel we need to
do so maybe our workers could have off every Wednesday," Baur said. "We have
not taken a hard pencil to it yet, but we are looking at it."
Baur also has had a hand in making the ABC Masters Tournament one of the
most important events on the PBA tour.
The ABC opens next Wednesday (Jan. 21) and will feature more than 500 contestants (pros and elite league bowlers) shooting for a total prize fund of about
$400,000 and a $100,000 championship check.
Baur also came up with the idea of a champions dinner at the Eldorado Hotel to
honor all past ABC champions with proceeds from the dinner going to the Earl Anthony Memorial Scholarship fund.
The first Masters Champions Dinner will be held Tuesday night Jan. 20 at the Eldorado Hotel/Casino with the tournament opening the next day at the National Bowling Stadium and concluding Sunday Jan. 25 with the first live two-hour telecast in
PBA history starting at 1 p.m. Eastern time.
Ed Baur also has helped the ABC Senior Masters Tournament remain a hallmark
event for hall of fame bowlers like Dick Weber, Dave Davis, Dave Soutar, Mark Roth
and Gary Dickinson to name only a few.
The ABC Senior Masters Tournament is scheduled April 4-10 at the Suncoast Hotel/Casino/Bowling Center in Las Vegas.
"We made a little format change because we could not bowl at night under our
agreement with the Coast Properties," Baur said.
"Every bowler is going to bowl all three days instead of the traditional format that
featured two days of qualifying, a first field cut, a third day of qualifying and then a
second cut to the top 63 bowlers."
As defending champion, Dale Eagle is the only bowler who does not have to survive the 15 games of qualifying and automatically becomes the 64th bowler for the
double-elimination finals.
Baur said he was hoping to continue the ABC Senior Masters as part of the PBA's
Senior schedule but it became impossible this year.
"The ABC Senior Masters tournament dates are the dates the sponsor (Coast
Properties) wanted. It was a good sponsorship deal for the ABC Senior Masters this
year and the sponsorship package is even better next year," Baur revealed.
"We also tied in holding the ABC World Team Challenge at a Coast property (the
Orleans) as part of the two-year deal."
Baur currently is exploring ways of coming up with a cable company to televise the
Senior Masters championship matches.
Ed Baur also has fostered a healthy relationship with the Bowlers Journal International and has worked out details to run the traditional BJ tournament at AMF Starlite
Lanes in Reno Feb. 13-June 28 — the same dates as the ABC National Championship Tournament at the National Bowling Stadium.
The tournament this year will be called the American Bowling Congress/Storm
Bowlers Journal Championship.
The sponsors, which include title sponsor Storm Bowling Products, will help guarantee close to $40,000 in prize money for the 1-2-3 teams in eight different events.
Wright In The Heart
Of Texas
Jeremy Sonnenfeld Wins
Super Bowl High Roller
In First Ever Overtime!
By Don Wright
Senior Kerry Painter STORM Challenge Top Earner Isaac Amkie
Wins 40 & Over Classic
The bowling family recently lost one of its staunchest supporters, Vladimir A. "Chief" Wapensky.
Chief served as the Executive Director of the BPAA for 20 years, resided in Arlington, Texas and
was a good friend.
I had read Chief’s columns in the Dallas based Bowling News for many years and I finally got to
meet him about five years ago at a Bowling Writers Association of America convention. We hit it off
almost immediately.
Chief got his nickname the same way I got my nickname, Chief. We were both retired Army Chief
Warrant Officers. Chief had served his military career in personnel and administration and I was
with the Army CID. It didn’t take long and we were telling war stories and the friendship began.
I was elected President of the Southern Bowling Writers Association and Chief was our parliamentarian. Soon after I assumed the office we had some issues that needed to be resolved and
Chief was my go-to guy. I was absolutely amazed at how proficient he was at the job and how willing he was to take the time to ensure we did what was right.
We spent a lot of hours on the computer passing e-mail back and forth. It was during that time
that Chief confided in me his health problems. We had been discussing military benefits, his health,
my health and that of my wife. He was always up beat even when his trips to the doctor were not
always pleasant.
Chief was a lot of things to a lot of people, but I will; always remember him as a professional,
decorated veteran and a wonderful gentleman. I will dearly miss him.
Well, I was glad to see the PBA Tour start again and was not surprised to see Walter Ray Williams, Jr., on the show. I predicted the drought would end.
I was surprised that he won the tournament having seen Lonnie Waliczek in several PBA Regional events and during the first part of the Tour. Needing only a mark to take the event, I never
suspected he’d leave a washout. Such are the breaks of bowling, I guess.
I was really excited about the Tour starting again, but after the show I was a bit disappointed. I
found it a little boring. Watching Waliczek is like watching paint dry.
Duke put some excitement in his match against Waliczek and only injury prevented Duke from
advancing. Regardless, Duke is a class act, right up there with the likes of Dick Weber.
Did ESPN hire the four or five women that were seated along side the lanes? I guess they were
supposed to be cheerleaders? Even Duke said “You’re killing me.” Come on; let’s leave that stuff for
the X-Games.
I know the professional bowlers have a mental game that we amateurs don’t have and what
would distract me obviously doesn’t bother them. But, I don’t get why they have Brunswick emblazed on one lane and not on the other. Why have it at all? I could understand having Storm on
both lanes, but personally, I’d leave the lanes as they are supposed to be and eliminate lane advertisement all together. What’s next a listing of all sponsors from pin deck to foul line?
Nathan Bohr, Wichita, Kan., is a promising rookie
and I was fortunate enough to watch him while he
was a member of the YABA. Bohr was one of the
brightest stars in the Austin, Tex. area. When he
left for Wichita I often saw his father during league
competition. We both participated in a travel league
and he would keep me posted on Nathan’s progress.
I’m glad to see this young man doing so well. It
isn’t a surprise, really. But, he’s a fine young man
with a great personality and I predict he will go far.
How about Mike Scroggins, Amarillo, Tex.?
Three consecutive top five finishes in the first half of
the Tour and there he was in the finals of the first
event of the second half. Mike hasn’t won yet, but
it’s just a matter of time. Those of us that follow the
PBA Southwest Regional program know exactly
how good Mike is and the guys on the National
Tour are finding out also.
It looks like the PBA movers and shakers will
extend their services to the PBA Regional programs. Adding money to their prize funds (about a
20% increase), point leaders in each region will
earn an exemption onto the PBA Tour for the following season, guaranteeing the regional player at
least $32,000 in the 16 standard PBA Tour events.
Regional players have to be happy, but what
about the seniors?
Come on PBA, you’d have no tour without the
Legends and some are getting on in years which
could prevent my grandkids from ever seeing them.
See you on the lanes.
February 6, 2004, Las Vegas - Single elimination match play - and a lot of it! High Roller again
proved to be the most exciting format anywhere in bowling! The gala event was sponsored by STORM,
the Bowler's Company, maker of the Flash Point and hosted by Sam's Town Hotel, Gambling Hall and
Bowling Center!
Jeremy Sonnenfeld was disappointed in his performance in last year's title match when he finished
2nd to Dan Bock. But this year, there was Sonnenfeld again, running through 10 opponents to get to
another title match, and the chance to redeem his title quest.
Didn't look too promising in the early going against High Rookie Benjamin Goede. High Roller veterans know that those matches come and go quickly and when Sonnenfeld looked up in the 4th frame,
he had 3 opens and Goede had started with a triple! Even though Goede missed single pin spare in
his 4th, Sonnenfeld was down 43 pins.
Sonnenfeld came to life in a hurry with a 4-timer and coupled with a 9th frame error from Goede, the
2 entered the 10th separated by just 1 pin. Goede, from St. Cloud, Minnesota, filled the frame with 20,
Sonnenfeld knocked down 19 and we were going "extra innings" for the first time ever in a Super Bowl
High Roller. Sonnenfeld who made a name for himself with 36 consecutive strikes, started with a
spare. The 23 year old Goede, no doubt feeling some pressure in his first ever High Roller event,
opened then spared forcing his opponent to mark. He did and Sioux Falls, SD's Jeremy Sonnenfeld
won the $75,000 winner's share. Goede couldn't be unhappy with his $40,000 runner-up prize.
The veteran Sonnenfeld, at 27 years of age was the oldest player in the youngest final 4 ever. 3rd
place finisher 22 year old Andrew Cain, from Tempe, Arizona $20,000 and 4th place Robert Young, 22
years old from Rancho Cucamonga, CA picked up $10,000. 6 players joined High Roller's $10,000
Club including STORM Challenge top money earner Kerry Painter, from Las Vegas who earned
$11,250 as he won 3 skins. Ryan Boyd, from Florida won a skin worth $2,750 and Randy Smith, also
from Florida won the 10th frame skin worth $6,000! Challenge finalist Tim Rohl, from New York won
$1,000.
Earlier in the week, 40 & Over Classic champ Isaac Amkie, from Mexico defeated 2-time High Roller
champ Tony Szeluga for the $10,000 top prize. Roto Grip, maker of the new Apocalypse high performance balls will sponsor the entire High Roller Classic series again in 2004.
Over 1,200 players bowled in the Super Bowl High Roller and 40 & Over Classic. 600 attended the
free football party hosted by Sam's Town.
So get set to meet your friends again this summer as the July High Roller match play event and
STORM Challenge will take place July 3 - 10 at Sam's Town. Next up for the age 50 & over Crowd is
the Senior Easter Classic, 60 & Over Classic and Senior Match Play events from April 4 - 11, also at
Sam's Town. High Roller events have now paid over $71 MILLION in prize money since 1982! For

Helen Duval’s Bowling Tips
By Red Pfeiffer
A Travel Through the 50s
Out in the Diablo area, Paddock opened its bowl (at one time had a swimming pool). Its proprietor was Andy Pricco; the manager was the well-known
Phil Slater (more on Phil in a future column). The bowl opened with 12 lanes in
1952. Soon after, Monument Bowl opened with 16 lanes in Pleasant Hill.
A short note about the Richmond Women’s Association, also known as the
East Bay Women’s Association. They changed their name in 1958 to the Richmond WBA. The bowls in the Richmond area in the 50s were Uptown Bowl
(proprietor, Quee Prentice) and Richmond Bowl; later on came Golden Gate
Lanes (Quee), then Lucky Lanes in San Pablo. From those bowls mentioned
are all gone with a 40 lane house in Pinole.
We hope to have more information on the Richmond WBA in coming columns.

Bad Hand Position—Bad Delivery
Are you approaching the ball return properly, facing the
pins? Are you checking on either side of your lane so as not
to interfere with others? Are you checking the sole of your
sliding show on the approach before making your delivery?
Now you're ready to pick up your ball. Do you realize that if
you pick up the ball the wrong way, chances are you will deliver it wrong, too?
Let's be honest. Do you pick up the ball from the ball return with one hand?
Here's what can happen if you do.
You may get your fingers mashed between two balls, perhaps meaning no
bowling for a while. Or you could jam your fingers in the holes.
If you pick up the ball with one hand throughout three games, your hand and
arm will become so tired that your effectiveness will be reduced. And you might
think that's a reason to purchase a lighter ball.
Picking up the ball with one hand means you will have a tendency to deliver
the ball with both fingers and the thumb and that's bad, too.
Let's correct these faults and concentrate on the better way to pick up your
ball.
Instructors all over the country will tell you to "pick up the ball with both
hands." Here are four reasons why:
· You aren't as likely to be injured.
· You distribute the weight of the ball on both hands and arms.
· You'll be more likely to place your fingers in the finger holes correctly when
the time comes.
· Your fingers won't become moist, thereby causing a slippery delivery. Leaving your fingers in the ball's holes too long often causes perspiration to form
on them.
So now you're ready to pick up the ball and take your position to bowl.
Pick up the ball from the return with both hands, one on either side of the ball
toward the outside of the return. Take your proper spot on the approach, still
holding your ball with both hands.
After you have found your starting spot on the approach, put your two bowling
fingers in the ball holes and then the thumb. Whatever your ball's grip—
conventional, semi or fingertip—always have enough spread so that all of your
thumb goes down into the thumb hole.
Your thumb hole should be slightly loose and by all means not tight. If you are
not sure about the fit, rotate just the thumb quickly in the hole. Don't have it so
snug that the flesh is twisted during the rotation. The fingers can fit on the snug
side, thereby enabling you to lift the ball in the delivery over the foul line.
After your two fingers and then your thumb are in the holes, look at your
hand. It should be in the handshake position, and there should be no wrinkles
on the wrist. Support the ball with your non-bowling hand.
Consider these statistics: If you roll 20 balls a game, in three games you will
have lifted the ball 60 times. If your ball weighs 16 pounds, that's the equivalent
of lifting 960 pounds in the span of two or three hours. That's nearly half a ton of
dead weight. No wonder you are tired or want to purchase a lighter ball if you're
lifting it with one hand.
Tenpin Slants
have anything to do with bowling, but I still felt compelled to write about it.
When I was in Las Vegas last summer for Bowl Expo, I happened to wander
into a sports book. Being a longtime USC fan, I placed a small wager on the
Trojans, at odds of 10 to 1, to win the national collegiate football championship.
As gridiron fans know, USC and LSU wound up sharing the national title.
The Trojans won the AP (Associated Press) media poll, while the Tigers won
the USA Today's coaches' poll.
So, I called the sports book to see if my ticket was any good. I was told by
the sports book manager that they were only paying off off on LSU, which defeated Oklahoma in the final BCS (Bowl Championship Series) game in the
Sugar Bowl. Meanwhile, USC easily beat Michigan in the Rose Bowl.
Although nowhere on my ticket does it mention the BCS, I guess I'll have to
settle for a moral victory. I'll chalk it up to experience and write it off as just
another way to lose in Sin City. Fight on!

"bleeding" as it launches the second half of its 2003-2004 season with swing
through the Far West.
Steve Miller, president and CEO of the new PBA, said Tuesday Jan. 6 from Seattle that "we're going to fall about a million dollars short of breaking even this season,
but at least the bleeding has stopped and we are going to turn this into a profitable
business."
Miller, who took over the PBA reins six months after three former Microsoft executives purchased the floundering old PBA in March of 2000, is semi-happy with the
progress the PBA has made the past three seasons.
"We have a $21 million budget this season and had it not been for an expensive
law suit we inherited, we would have been in the black.
"Next season's budget reflects a profit."
That's big because it's estimated that the three PBA owners — Chris Peters, Mike
Slade and Rob Glaser who got in on the ground floor with Microsoft — have lost
approximately $30 million to date.
"We're taken more chances and are doing some really good things that are proving beneficial," Miller said. "But it's expensive to run a tour like ours. It costs about
$750,000 a tournament between TV and production costs, prize money, travel expenses, salaries and keeping three 18-wheelers on the road."
Miller was satisfied with the first 10 tour stops on the 2003- 2004 tour but not
happy.
"Our TV ratings while going up against the National Football League for 10 Sunday afternoons was fractionally better than last season," Miller said. "It's not the
quantum leap I hoped for, but the improved PBA ratings were achieved while bucking one of the NFL great seasons with all those teams in the playoff picture."
He was not exactly elated that only one bowler, Patrick Healey who bowls out of
Mexico, had a banner fall season.
"We had only one repeat champion, Healey. That shows we have equity on tour,
which is good. But the downsize is the fact that viewers like to cheer for people they
know and having different winners nine of 10 weeks may take away from spectator
interest."
In other words, Miller may have been happier if defending PBA Player of the year
Walter Ray Williams and fellow headliners like Pete Weber, Chris Barnes and
Parker Bohn had won and also been on more telecasts.
Five days after the interview, Miller got one of his wishes when Walter Ray Williams came through with a dramatic victory at the Earl Anthony tournament in Seattle. It was ironic that possibly the greatest right handed bowler in history won the
tournament named for the undisputed greatest lefthander.
"The bottom line, no matter what we did I would not be completely happy. I'm always looking for us to get better and wondering what we can do to improve," said
during the earlier interview.
"Our membership continues to go up which is good. And entries at our tournaments this season have gone up dramatically which is great."
Corporate sponsorships also have gone up and to date features 16. More impressive, only two are bowling related which means the business sector is impressed
with the PBA and bowling industry.
"It's a very positive evolution from where we started to where we are today," Miller
said. "We are on track."
The winter schedule looks impressive with four arena TV finals, about $2.2 million
in prize money and for the first time a pair of two-hour live telecasts for the ABC
Masters and the U.S. Open .
The only possible blip on the horizon is the fact that the 10 winner telecasts will
have three different starting times, which can hurt TV ratings.
The first three telecasts (Jan. 11, Jan. 18 and Jan. 25) are live and start at 1 p.m.
The fourth telecast (Feb. 1) will be taped and shown starting at 4:30 p.m. just before
the Super Bowl. Then the final six telecasts (Feb. 8, 15, 22, 29 and March 7 and 21)
will start at 12:30 p.m.
For the first time, the PBA will be idle a week before its climatic World Championship Tournament in Detroit (March 15-21). If the NFL can take a week off before its
climatic Super Bowl, why not the PBA before its showcase event.

As the future of the Professional Women’s Bowling Association remains in negotiation instead of
on television, one of the tour’s leading bowlers
has invested in the latest concept in bowling to
carry her through the lean times.
Kim Adler and her husband Tommy are part
of an investment group who runs the restaurant and bowling center which caters to the
upscale crowd of cruise ship tourists mixed
with other visitors and some locals who want
something more from bowling than the usual
40 lanes with basic food and beverage.
The Adlers say they haven’t heard anything
more about bowling promoter Steve Sanders’
negotiations to get the PWBA Tour or whatever
it may be called back on ESPN, but they are
glad to have jobs in the interim.
“I’m keeping up with the players association
and we’re all communicating with each other
and when we do find out any news we share it
with each other,” Adler said. “I’m waiting to
see what happens at this point and putting all
of my ducks in a row and hope for the best and
expect the worst and you need to be prepared
for all scenarios. Steve is a great guy and he’s
the best person for the job.”
Adler hates to be idle and she feels great
pain when her bowling tour took a nosedive off
the air. Adler says she wants to get back on
tour because the waiting makes her edgy.
“I’m a type A personality so me just sitting

activities at Splitsville and doing my consulting

Institute because I haven’t done any instruction in a few years and now I’m back to teaching so I
also do instructions on my website and if anyone needs any bowling tips, look me up on Adlertraininginstitute.com. I’ve been going across country to instruct bowlers so I have my hands on a lot of
things.”
The opening of Splitsville was well covered by the local “Daytime” talk show which the Washington Post characterized as Tampa’s “Today”-style local show as its NBC affiliate with Brian Fasulo
as Daytime’s Matt Lauer and Debra Schrils as their Katie Couric. Paid advertisers feature sponsored segments on both shows and the owners of Splitsville got their money’s worth with detailed
explanations of what this restaurant with bowling lanes offered.
I bowled with the WFLA-TV crew and I found out first-hand what Splitsville offered so I could set
the record straight.
The 12-lane $10-million center is symbolic of other upscale restaurants around the country
found in Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., Chicago and Boston to name a few with less lanes and

better food and billiards than the average Stuckeyville-type bowling house along with valet parking.
Fasulo and Lindsay Brien, who has her own show known as “The Spot” which also featured
Splitsville, Larry Cotton, the food critic, Sam Hallenbeck, the movie critic, and April Wilson, the senior producer of both shows and her husband Tim bowled with me and considering the fact we all
used balls and shoes from Splitsville while we watched ED on WFLA-TV on giant overhead
screens, our game scores were entertaining at best.
We all learned better techniques from the Adlers and Kim joined us in shooting strikes and
spares, some of which made it on camera and over the airwaves. That’s one way to put Kim Adler
back on TV. Luckily, nobody paid us to play at this bowling session.
Adler added that bowling is a real sport when you compete on tour as she does and Fasulo
watched her demonstrate.
“I’ll be checking in to Splitsville quite often from Merritt Island on the east coast of Florida and if it
wasn’t so far I’d be here all of the time,” Adler said. “I bring a little bit of Tampa Bay home with me
every time I come here.”
“I’ve been involved in Splitsville from the very beginning and it was hard for me to visualize this
place even though I’m good at visuals on concepts but this was a hard one for me to see at first, but
now that I’m experiencing it I find Splitsville is lovable.”
Kim says Splitsville will help introduce more people to bowling as a recreation and later a sport.
“The bowlers who are serious about bowling who come from what we call the Jillian’s concept
will understand how this atmosphere takes bowling less seriously than we’re accustomed to as pros
and upper level competitors, but the open players and bringing them in as newer bowlers are what’s
driving our sport now. The more people I can introduce to bowling who can have fun will be interested in moving on to the next level where I can help them
in their potential careers.”
Splitsville is actually designed for recreation and a good
time and not for tournaments but the Adlers are glad to give
you lessons in the style of the old Kegel Training Center in
Sebring, but otherwise Splitsville in Tampa’s Channelside
district is the opposite as far as high-tech emphasis is concerned. It has increased immensely in popularity with waiting lines up to three hours long.
Splitsville Bowling, Billiards, and Restaurant Lounge
sponsors local country and rock concerts such as George
Strait where they had a one day special of splitting the price
of tickets in half for buying two tickets for the price of one at
his January concert at the St. Pete Times Forum which is
the home of the NHL Tampa Bay Lightning and the Arena
Football champion Storm.
A special room in the restaurant section is devoted to
sports nostalgia featuring bowling and adds to the ambiance
of the place which is designed to attract sports fans alike
who can have conversations ad infinitum around the full bar.
The Splitsville operation is headquartered by the Millennium Corporation in Orlando and the Adlers are in partnership with Mark Gibson, Guy Revelle, and Tom Buzyniski.
According to entertainment agent Jane McKee the location and concept for Splitsville was planned well in advance.
“The concept here is to offer a complex which has some
of everything to increase the foot traffic for all age groups
such as movies, Hooters Restaurants which has an interest
in Splitsville with Ed Droste, the creator of Hooters, and it’s
not just another bowling center so people won’t be bored,
“McKee beamed. “We have other restaurants here known
as Suds and Howl at the Moon and together they offer fun
for all. Mark Gibson has been researching this place for
eight months in drawing ideas from other places such as
this restaurant around the country.”
“I did a lot of research for this center and I visited other
locations with similar concepts to ours including Strike Bethesda in the Washington, D.C. area and Kings in Boston
and I’ve read the press on Lucky Strike in Hollywood so
those places took more of the traditional approach on bowling and more nightclub driven but we differ in that we offer a
full restaurant until 10 p.m. with our gourmet appetizers and
classic entrees in our nostalgia room. If you’re not bowling,
you still get entertainment with our music appealing to the
20 through 40 year olds but we’ll experiment with several
things and a big ad campaign in January through March. I
love the ED TV show and we like to be creative here like
they are on that show and we want to put bowling out front
again.”
Owner Mark Gibson said that leagues at Splitsville will be
flexible.
“We’ll have leagues but they won’t be traditional, serious
leagues because we have the lanes arranged offset in pairs
so it may not be conducive to those bowlers,” Gibson said.
“Kim Adler wants to do some tournaments and each year
she is going to do a high rollers tourney and some shootouts but nothing large in size. She wants to pair together
pro men and women here and the pros shouldn’t mind our
design of pairs of lanes offset in sections apart from each
other.”
Walter Ray Williams is out front again on the PBA Tour
beating Lonnie Waliczek in the championship match 211 to 205 for $40,000 when Waliczek had an
unexpected open after Williams hit a turkey in the 10th frame to back into his 38th victory in the Earl
Anthony Open in Seattle. Williams is only three tournament victories behind Anthony’s tour record
of 41 wins.
Williams credits a tip on tour from PBA Hall of Famer Tom Baker for his sudden improvement in
competition. As a result, Walter Ray now holds the ball closer to his body as he brings it through
from his backswing for better alignment with his target at the release or explosion point at the line.
Both Williams and Waliczek were sporting T-shirts for the first time on tour while the other finalists still wore their polo shirts with a collar and buttons. The PBA relaxed their rules on shirts and
what they wore apparently relaxed Walter Ray enough to beat Lonnie in the finals while the others
labored along in their polo shirts. Williams and Waliczek wore similar black T-shirts sporting the
same sponsorship logos. Now the average Joes who are bowling instead of trying to date former
Miss Missouri 2001 Larissa Meak on the NBC-TV show can relate to Williams and Waliczek in the
championship match of the Earl Anthony Open being more casual and comfortable enough to win.
Former Boston Red Sox pitcher John Burkett who was 12-9 last year and is now a free agent
hopes to return to major league baseball next season. Before spring training he competed in the
ABC/PBA Masters in January.
“Baseball has been my number one focus all this time, “ the 39-year-old Burkett said. “My bowling has suffered a little bit, but I believe I have the ability to win.”
American Idol star Clay Aiken went bowling recently to celebrate his graduation from the University of North Carolina-Charlotte. He also sang at his alma mater’s basketball game where several
thousand Clay Aiken bobble head dolls were distributed to the delighted fans. Clay recently made a
guest appearance on ED and also On Air with Ryan Seacrest the host of the American Idol where
he presented Ryan with a Clay bobble head doll.
Random Thoughts
Tenpin Slants
By Steve Mackie
By: Joe Lyou
Hail To The Chief
With the dawning of the new year, it signals a fresh start for everyone in general and
for bowling in particular.
Bowling could use a fresh start, especially for the PWBA (Professional Women's
Bowling Assn.). Here's what I wish for the PWBA in 2004:
1) That Steve Sanders, the president of Pinacle Events Inc., who recently took over
the PWBA, lands his all-important ESPN contract and launches a successful PWBA
Tour. (At this writing, Sanders was awaiting for an answer and the greenlight from
ESPN.)
2) That Sanders can resusitate the Senior Men's Tour, which can also use a fresh
start. He plans to run the Senior Tour in conjunction with the PWBA Tour. Although
the men and ladies will be competing at the same tournament site, tentative plans call
for them to be on different squads and competing for separate prize funds. This format
will benefit the host proprietor, as he, or she, will be getting two tournaments for the
price of one. Ditto for the spectators, who will have the opportunity of watching the
world's best female pros and male Seniors in action without leaving the building.
3) That all of bowling's integers lend their support to Sanders' innovative project instead of throwing roadblocks in his path, as some of them have been known to do.
4) That when, not if, Sanders launches the PWBA-Senior Men's Tour, he will revise
the dress code for the ladies. For heaven's sake, get the gals out of those ugly slacks
and back into dresses again. On the other hand, if some of the ladies, like Kim Adler,
want to wear a micro mini-skirt, let them. After all, look what Gussie Moran did for
women's tennis. A little sex appeal will do wonders for the TV ratings. (For those who
have never head of Gussie Moran, just ask some old geezer, like Jim Dressel or Dick
Stoeffler.)
Speaking about Stoeffler, as we were, he could sure use a fresh start. Ol' Steff has
been walking around with just one-third of a kidney. Remarkable!
He never complains, even though he's allowed only three ounces of meat per
day. And the guy loves steaks.
PBA Tour telecasts could use a fresh start. As an example, the recent PBA Dexter
Tournament of Champions--the pros' most coveted title--got only a 0.2 rating on ESPN,
with a ZERO share in Southern California. In the Los Angeles viewing area, each rating point represents 53,542 households. Cable (ESPN) ratings reflect the entire national market, with cable and satellite TV available in 76% of L.A. households.
Remember the good ol' days, in the '60s and '70s, when bowliing was at its peak
and the Pro Bowlers Tour got solid 7- or 8-point TV ratings consistently? Overall
sports viewing, however, is currently down drastically because of the rapid growth of
cable and satellite dishes. This gives viewers a multitude of channels from which to
choose. I wonder why the bowling industry
doesn't do more to promote PBA Tour telecasts, which would do wonders in reversing
bowling's downward trend and providing the
sport with a fresh start.
Perhaps bowling would get a muchneeded shot in the arm--and a possible
fresh start--by landing a spot in the Olympic
Games. It really galls me when I think
about Curling and Synchronized Swimming
being in the Olympics, but not Bowling.
Tenpin Slants would like to see some
fresh ideas utilizing the world-class coaching abilities of Hall of Famer John
Jowdy. Why doesn't the PBA use Jowdy to
do the "Bowling Tips" segment on its TV
show? Jowdy's weekly tips would be much
more meaningful than those on the show
now.
And why don't the producers of "Ed," the
NBC show that features a bowling lawyer,
hire Jowdy to give bowling lessons to the
cast members? They look ridiculous when
they attempt to bowl on the show.
Finally, "Ed" itself could use a fresh start.
The producers ought to hire Dick Evans, the
multi-award winning bowling writer from
Florida, to write their scripts. Evans, an
ABC/PBA Hall of Famer, recently wrote a
column in which he presented several excellent and imaginative bowling plots that he
suggested could be used on the show. Too
bad that Evans isn't the script writer for
"Ed."
Changing Reels: This subject doesn't
Bowling has lost one of it’s greatest “movers and shakers” with the recent
passing of Vladimir Vapensky to cancer.
The “Chief”, as he became affectionately known, steered the Bowling Proprietors Association of America as it’s executive director through it’s most prosperous yet sometimes-turbulent years, 1971 through his retirement in 1991.
That long span of service included 14 years of increased membership growth
that reached a plateau of 4,248 Centers in 1984 (there was 3,264 member Centers in 2003).
He worked with eleven different BPAA Presidents during his reign as one of
the “czars” of the sport. A testimony to his leadership skills is that since he finished there has been somewhat of a “revolving door” of executive directors at the
Arlington, Texas headquarters of the trade association.
Mr. Vapensky spent 55 years in the bowling business and became a witty and
thoughtful writer these past few years in the Dallas-based “Bowling News”, close
to his home in Fort Worth.
According to a BPAA press release, the “Chief” also mentored many of the
past and recent presidents in carrying out their duties to the association’s members, adding a plethora of tournaments that helped lift the standing of proprietors
in their local communities.
He was certainly one of bowling’s “hey-day” icons and will be sorely missed.
Dressing For Success
The second half of the televised Professional Bowlers Association Tour has
bought in some noticeable fashion statements by the players.
Norm Duke and Brian Voss for example have always looked smart. To be a
winner, around for the long haul, such as they have been, requires a certain
dress sense that says, “let’s bowl!”
Walter Ray Williams, now that he has won his 38th title, is always in fashion.
He looks like he belongs, and the fans know it too, as the longest, loudest applause is usually reserved for his entrance.
Take Dick Weber, now in his 70’s. He was a fashion plate in 1967 when he
bowled in Vietnam and Australia and still is at exhibitions and tournaments that
he conducts on behalf of AMF. They never had to tell him how to present himself;
he simply has always looked like a winner.
The same could be said for some
bowling-savvy industry executives, that
includes generally successful Center
managers. If you look the part, and walk
the talk, you will often find a winner
there, too.
Besides, spiffed up, most of us can
“scrub up” pretty well.
Espinosa Bowls His Best To Win

Jowdy-ism
By John Jowdy
By Chuck Pezzano
Megabucks
ABC/WIBC membership continues to dwindle. Double shifts of league bowling are
a rarity; yet open bowling and tournament play is on the rise. Tournaments such as
NABI and ABT bowling clubs have sprung up all over the country. These are handicap tournaments designed for lower average bowlers and are conducted on weekends. Each of these organizations is afforded an opportunity to bowl in once-a-year
tournaments in Las Vegas that offer first place prizes from $25,000 to $30,000.
On the other hand, megabucks tournaments have become the main attractions for
higher average bowlers. These events feature first place prizes of $100,000 and up.
The most popular and most recognized are the High Roller, operated by Norm and
Brad Edelman; and the Mini-Eliminator, directed by Steve Sanders.
Prior to the advent of megabucks tournaments, higher average bowlers were content to match their skills in tournaments like the Petersen, the Dom DiVito Classic
and a few scattered contests around the country. But now, megabucks tournaments
have greatly increased in numbers, further whetting the appetites of competitive
bowlers.
These high paying tournaments have attracted so much interest and actually have
an interesting history. Who can be credited with the innovation of these megabucks
events? If you guessed Edelman, or Sanders, you’re wrong. The answer is Buddy
Finkelberg. I knew him and I can unequivocally attest that he was the originator of
mega-bucks tournaments.
During the early 80’s, as a Columbia Bowling Ball sales representative, I made a
business call to Buddy Finkelberg who, at that time, operated a pro shop at Striking
Lanes. It was located on Dundee Road in the Chicago suburbs. During my visit,
Buddy sought my opinion on a tournament he devised that would shock the bowling
world. I recall the conversation, whereas, Buddy outlined his plan for a tournament
that would feature a first prize of $1 million dollars, a second place check for
$500,000, third place payoff of $250,000 and a fourth place prize of $125,000. He
named it the American Dream Classic. It would be a single elimination contest and,
in order to implement this idea, he would need 4000 entries at $1000 per entry. Although I harbored serious doubts regarding the possibility of bowlers shelling out
$1000 to bowl just ONE game, I encouraged him to stay the course and pursue his
dream.
Several months later, Finkelberg contacted Lew Handler, proprietor of Elk Grove
Bowl in the northwest suburb of Chicago. Together, they planned to stage this event
at Handler’s establishment. Finkelberg arranged meetings with bowling proprietors
and promoters throughout the country to boost interest in the American Dream Classic. His plan included staging satellite tournaments for gaining entries in the big
event. One of his top priorities was meeting Frank Esposito, proprietor of Paramus
Bowl in New Jersey. Paramus Bowl was nationally recognized as the site of one
bowling’s most popular TV shows, “Make That Spare”.
Esposito was the premier bowling promoter of his era. He was a charter member
of the PBA. His Paramus Bowl was the site of the first PBA National Championship.
Additionally, he was the first proprietor to offer incentives such as bowling balls,
bags, etc. for increasing pro-am entries in PBA tournaments. He was also the coordinator for the ABC-TV Pro Bowlers Tour and had strong ties with Frank Modica,
the top banana at Showboat Lanes in Las Vegas.
Esposito knew the majority of tournament bowlers were essentially riverboat gamblers. With the world-famous Showboat as a luring attraction, Esposito recognized
the immense potential of Finkleberg’s proposed plan. He contacted Norm Edelman,
a well-known promoter of a bowler’s tournament club. Edelman had access to almost every action bowler in the northeast area and was aware of their thirst for bigtime action. The Esposito-Edelman conection was a perfect marriage that gave birth
to the High-Roller Tournament in Las Vegas in 1982.
The American Dream Classic tournaments at Elk Grove Bowl, starting in 1981,
hardly met expectations. In 1986, Finkelberg moved the event to Sam’s Town in
Las Vegas under the sponsorship of Lucky Strike. It was called the Lucky Strike Filters Classic and offered a first place prize of $250,000. One of the entries in the
1987 LSFC tournament was none other than Steve Sanders, himself an avid tournament player. Sanders recognized the need for additional action at the tournament
site. He approached Finkelberg and recommended the addition of an early bird tournament and sweepers at night to stimulate greater interest in the tournament. Finkelberg, who had his hands full, offered Sanders the opportunity to conduct these activities on a partnership basis. This was Sanders’ baptism in promoting tournament
activity.
Lucky Strike relinquished its sponsorship in 1989. It was replaced by Hardee’s
Hamburgers and lasted two years. With no sponsor, Finkleberg came upon difficult
times and by 1993, he stopped running tournaments.
Mike Kaufman, Director of Bowling at Sam’s Town decided to develop his own
tournament called the International Eliminator. It took a year and a half to design and
promote this event, which began in 1995. Sam’s Town owned the event and hired

Ever notice how many politicians find time to visit bowling centers in the midst of
a campaign? That’s smart because if you can win the votes of bowlers, their relatives and their friends, you can win any election. It will be smart to show up now and
the between elections. And did you notice a proposed national bill that included financial help for Halls of Fame and selected sports programs. Nothing for bowling.
Guess we need a lobbying team in Washington.
In calendar year 2003 Walter Ray Williams Jr. was the star early in the year and
Patrick Healey Jr. lived up to his great promise at the end of the year. Parity rates
high, too. There are so many bowlers that are so good. And never in the move than
40 year history of the men’s pro tour has there been so much pressure to come up
with a win or enough good performances to gain a spot in the upcoming mostly exempt tour.
Don’t look now, but that next year you’re always talking about, is here.
According to a survey made by the American Bowling Congress the “average”
bowler averages 169 and 115,000 bowler’s average more than 200. The number of
169 has been the area of average bowler’s for a long time, but 200 average bowlers
have increased more than tenfold over the years.
Spectators admire and respect the bowlers, who are consistent and have solid
game, but they’re thrilled by the big hookers and the gutter shot specialists – who
keep them in suspense. And the most appreciated shots are not strikes but the conversion of difficult splits.
Who in sports participation has more problems than the bowler-golfer who shoots
in the 130’s in both sports.
There is nothing more dramatic than arena bowling, particularly when the spectator area runs high above the bowlers so that you can easily see the path of the ball
and that various good and bad pin reactions.
Big decisions are made in bowling every year and 2004 will have more than
enough biggies such as a merger of the membership groups into a single organization and the future of the women pros. Both actions will have far reaching consequences for everyone involved in the sport. But fear not, there will be dozens of others, major and minor.
PBA Hall of Fame and longtime coach and instructor Larry Lichstein always advised bowlers about things that can’t be changed or corrected. If you can’t roll the
ball as fast or slow as you’d like or can’t master a different delivery, forget it and do
the best with what you have and can manage.
Few sights can compare with pigs (the real, live porkers) scrambling, squealing
and playing with bowling balls. Over the years I’ve seen dogs, cats, mice, chickens,
monkeys, horses, porpoises, and even an elephant bowling in some way or another.
Now I won’t get too excited until I find one of those creatures that can keep source.
Only 14 pro-bowlers have won 20 titles or more on the PBA Tour. That makes
them rare than billionaires.
How many bowlers who kick the rack after a bad shot or bad break would continue to kick the rack if the
rack could kick back, and
how many kiss the rack
after a good shot or good
break?
Sanders as consultant and
promoter of early bird and
sweeper programs. The
International Eliminator
continued for seven years
and was ended by Sam’s
Town after the 9-11 disaster.
Prior to that, the MiniEliminator, managed by
Steve Sanders, began as
the Firecracker Classic.
The sole purpose of this
event was to promote
Buddy Finkeklberg’s tournament to July High Roller
bowlers. The event was a
rousing success, attracting
806 entries in its first year.
Sanders continued it at
Sam’s Town and renamed
it the Mini-Eliminator in
1994.

I have had the pleasure and the privilege, as a teacher, to work with some of
the finest amateur and professional bowlers, male and female, from 5 continents.
I advocate the development of a solid physical foundation, and the utilization of
excellent tactics. Knowledge is the key; however, tactics are the power! With
that in mind, I strongly suggest you purchase my book, The Pro Approach, reviewed in October, 1996, by Bowlers Journal, as the only one of its kind. I address the game on a mathematical level where alignments, adjustments, weights,
textures, and lane conditions are concerned. Try it, you will love it. I am also
available for clinics, seminars, and one on one instruction. Call me at 408-3743340 for the financial particulars. My book sells for $19.95 + 3.00 shipping and
handling). Send you check or money order to M & W Products; 985 Hacienda;
Campbell, California; 95008. Hope to hear from you soon. Good luck and good
bowling.

PBA Regional
rational and aspirational model for bowlers whose ambition is to compete against the
best bowlers in the world,” said PBA Commissioner Fred Schreyer. “The PBA Regional Tour is a fundamental part of that. It’s the place where bowlers can cut their
teeth while competing under the same conditions that exist on the PBA Tour.”
The Regional Tour will have an integral connection to the PBA Tour. Beginning with
the 2004-2005 PBA Regional Tour Season, the point leader in each region will earn an
exemption onto the PBA Tour for the 2005-2006 Season. That will guarantee the regional player at least $32,000 in the 16 standard PBA Tour events.
Also, following the inaugural PBA Tour Trials in the spring of 2004, which is open to
all PBA members who have participated in at least five PBA events (PBA Tour, PBA
Regional Tour or PBA Senior Tour), the Tour Trials will be invitation only, based on
points finishers in each region. PBA Tour Trials will determine eight exempt bowlers
for the 2004-2005 Season and 11 for the 2005-2006 Season.
PBA Regional members will also be given the opportunity to participate in PBA Tour
events once the Exempt Tour is in place. A weekly pre-tournament qualifier (PTQ),
open only to PBA members, will determine four entries into the 64-man bracket.
Past changes have increased competition, and the level of competition, on the Regional Tour. Two majors were given more prominence, with the champions from both
events receiving invitations to the prestigious Tournament of Champions. Twenty tournaments were added to the Regional Tour schedule in 2003 and the PBA projects that
the Regional Tour will consist of over 200 tournaments during the 2004-2005 Season
(up from 167 in 2002).
The PBA Sales and Sponsorship team will concentrate on attracting additional sponsors to the Regional Tour to supplement the tremendous support already in place
through its relationship with Wild Turkey Bourbon.
The PBA previously announced that the Regional Tour would change its schedule to
mirror the PBA Tour seasonal schedule – from April 1 until March 31 each season,
forgoing a yearly schedule.

Our thanks go out to General Manager Cathie Ferreira, Assistant Manager Sue
Hughes and everyone else at AMF Mowry Lanes who, as always, made our stay a
pleasant one. We’ll be back later this year for our 6th Anniversary Tournament.
Our next stop promises to be a lot of fun: February 22nd at Holiday Bowl in Hayward.
The lane oil pattern we used at our November tournament was challenging. Bowlers
enjoyed it, so we’re doing it again in February. We’re not promising exactly the same
shot we used in November, but the one we do use will be a challenge...difficult, but
playable. We drew 56 bowlers in November, but the buzz we’re hearing is that we may
see an even larger crowd on February 22nd. (We’ve made some changes to the
Women’s Division, which will be effective this tournament; see the “Results” page on
www.PhilReganBowling.com for details.)
We have room for 80 bowlers at Holiday Bowl and, as always, reservations are advised.
We look forward to seeing you on February 22nd at Holiday Bowl, 29827 Mission
Boulevard (at Industrial Parkway) in Hayward.

The proposal for the USBC has been sent to all Associations, and the major
changes is that the USBC delegates will have the authority over the by-laws,
and they will have the authority to determine adult standard maximum dues at
all levels. We will keep you informed from time to time as to additional information we receive on this matter. Our bowlers are starting out the new year with
high scores. Leading the list is Hector Seastres with a nice 804 series. 300
games were bowled by Jason Tunkett, David Nguyen, Brian Hellman, Peter
Kozell, and George Sanpior Jr. Mark Thomas shot a 299 game, and Rodney
Garrick had a 298 game. The SFBA/SFWBA Mixed Fours, as reported last
month was won by the Turkey Sandwich 2 teams. Individual trophies were
awarded to Rob Petroni and Reiko Takahashi (Hi-Scratch Series), Scott
Fletcher and Denise Hansford (Hi-Scratch Game), Larry Chan and Janet Lee
(Hi-HDCP Series), and George Sampion Jr. and Nancy Henke (Hi-HDCP
Game).
We thank all of you who participated. Next on the tournament list is YOUR
City Tournament. The entry closing date was February 13th, so we hope you got
your entry in on time. We have run into a little problem with the high score
award applications.
League Secretaries, please read rule 54 (ABC) in page 16 of the playing rules
book. It is your responsibility to notify the association within 48 hours, and to
submit a completed high score award application within 20 days. We have been
receiving some applications that are 30 to 60 days old. Our bowlers deserve
their awards on time so do your part. The January 1st averages were due on the
15th, and as of this writing, only five leagues are late, so our “thanks” to you who
submitted them on time. That’s it for this time, so hope your bowling is going
well, but above all, HAVE FUN.

HOME OF THE
Peak of the winter season.
Yep, that’s where we are right now.
Mid-January is the peak of the winter
season and, as always, there’s lots going on.
First, let’s take a look at some of the
recent shooting stars in some of the
special events that have been going on.
We’ll start with the final results of “Roy’s
Special Holiday No-Tap Doubles”.
This popular event featured several
ways to win and produced numerous
shooting stars. In the overall standings
first place ($200) went to Chanel Paulson and Art Gonzales with an 811 series. Second place went to Gary Blanco
and Chanel with 784 and paid a hansom $125.00. Taking the third spot
were Rich Smith Jr. and Chanel (again)
worth $75.00.
Rounding out the standings were Ron
Keylon and Bill Stridbeck fourth ($50)
with a 765 series and fifth place went to
Rich Smith and Gary Blanco ($30).
In the “Snake Bite” division Jim Forsberg and Rich Smith Jr. took first ($27)
with 248, Jonathan Ng and John Yee
took second ($18) with 230 and third
place ($10) went to Gary Fong and Eric
Gee with 226.
“Crazy Eight’s” division winners were:
Sean Harvey and Matt Gogna who took
first ($27) with 300, Cathy Mueller and
Mark Day who took second spot ($18)
with 269 and Chrissy Aven and Ben
Villa took the third spot ($10) with a
cool 258 game.
Finally, in the “No-Tap” division your
winners were: Rich Smith and Gary
Blanco first ($27) with 276, Rich Smith
and Chanel Paulson were second ($18)
with 274, third place went to Tom Lucet
and Gary Bovia, Gary Hoover and Ed
Gioffre and Jonathan Ng and John Yee
that all tied with 243.
“Roy’s Special Holiday No-Tap Doubles” – plenty of winners, plenty of
money and plenty of fun.
Moving right along let’s check the results of our special “New Year’s Eve
Pick Your Score” Tournament. Not only
was our New Year’s Eve party an unqualified success our “Pick Your Score”
event proved to be fun and most challenging. First place went to Patti Diaz
who took the first prize of $100 by coming within five pins of her designated
score. 2nd place, worth $75 went to
Doug Brown who came within 15 pins
of his target. Third ($50) went to Tracy
Craig who missed by just 19 pins and
fourth place worth $25 went to long
time Brentwood regular Jerry Lamica
who came within 37 pins of his target
score. You can bet that we’ll be doing
this event again.
Checking out the calendar of events
that are coming up you’ll note there’s
plenty on the agenda. First, currently
underway is the Nor-Cal BPA “Miller
Star of the Game” Singles. Qualifying
continues through March 7th.
As soon as the “Star of the Game”
concludes we are moving our attention
to “Happy Jack’s Five Gamer”. This five
game event will be just a tad different
than most five gamers and you’ll be
sure to enjoy it.
“Happy Jack’s Five Gamer” will become a monthly feature so get ready to
sharpen your bowling skills. The next
event on the calendar will be a return of
Brentwood’s “Jackpot Doubles”. Heavy
wood, tougher lanes and added pressure will make this a very challenging
on-going spring and summer long
event. Be watching for further details.
Next month we’ll get back to checking
out all of the shooting stars among our
league bowlers, we’ll have more tournament results and we’ll have more news
of upcoming events.
Until then keep up the great shooting
and thanks for bowling at Brentwood.

Now that the holidays are over, it’s time to really get down to the nitty-gritty of bowling. We need to break away from the status quo and focus on making the right decisions. For example, to decide whether we want to take some lessens can be a critical
step toward improving our game. Putting practice sessions into our weekly schedule is
a critical facet of overall improvement. Yet, these two steps alone are only the beginning in making ourselves better bowlers.
If we are really sincere about setting the right course, we need to put our hearts and
minds into it. We need to set goals and strive in our endeavors to meet these goals. If
you try, you will succeed. Good luck and good bowling.

Palo Alto Bowl
Bel Mateo Bowl
By Tommy Zoz
By Tommy Zoz
With the month of December being a
short month as far as the reporting of
scores is concerned, the scoring acknowledgements will be less than usual.
Most leagues took two weeks off during
the holidays.
If you have ever wondered what scoring time period is being used in this column, wonder no longer. Most issues of
this paper are released about a month
and a half after the month being reported.
For instance, this is the February issue,
but the scores are from December.
You might have also wondered about
which scores are being selected. The
methodology is not a simple one, but it
does work, and it seems to be the fairest.
If the criteria are too liberal, the column
would be too long and would fall outside
the given boundaries. Conversely, if it is
too conservative, there would be a lot
fewer scores to report about.
For clarity purposes, the following is
the basic criteria used:
If the bowler’s average is under 130,
50 pins over average (POA) would be
used as the guideline. With an average of
131 – 160, then it’s 65 POA. If it’s 161 –
190, it would be 70 POA, and if it’s over
191, then 60 POA would be used. All junior averages would be 30 POA; senior
league bowlers would be 10 pins less
except for averages under 130. In most
cases, if the score is within 1 pin of making the cut, it would still be used. All
ABC – WIBC high game award scores
are reported regardless of average with
the exception of the 700 series. 100 POA
is used for this. As with any criteria, there
are exceptions.
The Antonio’s Nuthouse league saw
Ben Wienand(157) hammer the boards
for a 222.
In the CPI Doubles, Dan Floriani(181)
shot very nice multi-week scores of 256
& 269 while Seung Chung(155) came in
with a cool 237.
The Dukes and Duchess league went
on a rampage as Chunwei Huang(154)
got things started with a nice 226; Claire
McCole(190) was awesome with a 258;
Frank Grigalba(191) blistered the boards
with a 267; Herb Asatani(200) went on a
bowling terror as he put together some
totally awesome scores of 276/279/780;
Kim Rios(128) fired home a 185, and
Kathleen Lee(148) finished things off with
a 224.
The Friday Scratch watched Jim
Colley, Sr.(206) be the sole man of the
month with a 266/734.
In the Gold Dust league, Ben Drucker
(197) shot a very nice award winning 298
game. Congratulations, Ben! Cory Nicolai
(206) rammed home a 728 series; Donald Manogue(187) scorched the lanes for
a great 705 series; John Green(199) was
firing heavy as he hit a 258; Karl Gaeddert(163) was on his mark when hit a
244; Mark Goldenson(198) slammed the
pocket for a great 257/288/768 series;
Michael Abraham(192) was shooting on
the money with a 266, and TJ Yanuska
(206) had some great multi-week scores
of 267,275/749.
By now most of you realize that the
Bowl has undergone a change in managers. Stephanie Schroder has been the
general manager for the last three years
but now has decided to try her skills at
something else. Even though she is leaving, she will long be remembered for her
personal contributions she made to her
customers. The ever present smile, the
knee slapping laughter when things were
the slightest bit funny, and the constant –
do anything for you – attitude, will always
be her legacy. Stephanie cared about the
little things as well as the big, but making
sure everything was just right made you
feel her heart was really in it. That was a
good thing. Thank you very much,
Stephanie, for all your leadership and
hard work. Good luck. With Stephanie
being such an avid bowler, I’m sure we
haven’t seen the last of our Stephanie.
If you haven’t had the opportunity to
meet the new manager, his name is Max
Epps. He’s a professional bowler and has
been around bowling the bowling industry
a long time. Being a very personable kind
of guy, it would be a pleasure for him to
meet each and every one of you, so the
next time you see Max, introduce yourself – you will be glad you did.
The Astronut’s saw Rick Hobbs(151)
put a consistent 10-in-the-pit for a very
nice 246.
In Augie’s Hi-Lo league, Chris Rudnicki
(170) shot an awesome game and series
for a 246/643, and Chuck Markam(176)
slammed the boards for a 245.
The Elk’s Mixed saw Gerry McCaleb
(144) hammer out a nice 215.
The Friday Scratch watched Terry
Goodwin(129) get consistent for a 185.
The Friday Scratch Trios saw Joellyn
Rinnander(167) pound the boards for a
253.

(180) came through with a 256.

Fong(133) started things off with a very
nice 224/508; Kathleen Sullivan(157) was
hitting them heavy with a 225; Randolph
Wysinger (159) scored some great hits
as he tallied a 236, and Rich Cayssials
(187) was firing on all cylinders when he
shot an awesome 707 series.
The Visa league saw Harry Weller
(131) smash the boards for a 182 while
Lisa Blunt(134) shot a great game of 205.

Albany Bowl
Les Ekman
A two week layoff over the holidays by
most of our big guns resulted in a big
drop in noteworthy scores.
Wade Cyrus and Al Hines were the
only men to break 700 as Wade fired a
big 258-739 and Al came up with a fine
257-726. Just missing the mark were our
two high average keglers – Rusty
Greiner and Mike Richards. Rusty posted
a 235-696 and Mike a 256-691.
Dissarae Guilton topped the distaff
division with a sparkling 234-647; barely
edging Pat Tscharner’s 230-646. Also
over the 600 mark were Megan Quattrocchi’s 222-625 and Alisha Stenmark’s
212-614. Well done, ladies!
Sak Takahashi continued to lead the
senior league parade with outings of
243-633, 225-629, and 222-594. Thomas
Boutte’s 222-602 and 223-591 indicate a
return to yesteryear’s form by Tom, while
Fred Cochran’s 212-585 and 204-570
are just a sample of Fred’s true ability.
Other senior marks of note were a
225-613 by Locke Yow, Gene Clayton’s
213-584, Don Takamachi’s 223-580 and
Rick Kurakuzu’s 218-579, while Rose
Imazumi’s 211-539 and Marie Hilliard’s
200-531 were high among our senior
gals.
We did have one more 700 series and
this was put together by an up and coming teenager. Mike McGhee who had a
254-709 in the Junior/Adult league.

Ask Bob
Q.
I know that you are from the Medford, Oregon area and you just had a PBA tournament stop there. I saw on the PBA web site that you had a Calcutta pro am. Did you
bowl in it? And just how approachable are the pro’s?
A.
Yes I did bowl in the Calcutta pro am. I can tell you that one of the best things
about our sport is how close the average person can get to the best bowlers in our game.
In almost all of the other sports you can watch but not talk to, or compete with the stars. In
bowling especially in this Calcutta format, which by the way takes about 3 hours. You get
to know your pro on a personal level. You also get to meet and bowl with as many as
eleven other pros. You will find out by bowling in a pro-am that even the stars are very
nice. They are bowlers just like us. They are however the best bowlers in the world. In this
format you find out just how good they really are, and that they are just regular people with
a different kind of job. We bowled the team with Randy Peterson on it and he was giving
his teammates lessons as they bowled. Last year Bob Learn, Jr. had so much fun with his
team he gave each of them a new bowling ball. If the PBA comes to your town I highly recommend that you contact the host proprietor and ask them to run a Calcutta pro-am. They
can contact the PBA for information on how to run it. It was great fun and the first place
team won $5000.00.
Q. I just bought a wristband do I still need to turn the ball or will the wristband take care
of things for me?
A. Wristbands keep you from having your wrist break back but they do not bowl for you.
If you want to hook the ball you still have to turn the ball to impart spin. Wrist bands help
strengthen your release but you still have to do the work.
Q. I know the highest 3 game series is 900 but what is the highest 4 game series?
A. I know what your thinking shooting 900 is tough but maybe I have a chance to snag
that 4 game record. Well good luck I think it might be almost a more remarkable record
than 900. Believe it or not on March 7th 1989 in Union NJ. Tom Jordan rolled 1198. Yes
that’s right two 299 games and two 300 game in 1 four game set. Think about that one for
a second. One shot that doesn’t carry in the wrong frame and you have to go for the second highest 4 game series. Tom was bowling in a doubles match at the time and he and
his partner also set the men’s two-player record for 4 games with 2202. His partner Ken
Yonker, Jr. had 1004.

On Monday 12/22/03 in the Diamond Classic League, husband and
wife team Becky and Steve Walker
bowled on the same pair of lanes
with Becky shooting a 290 games
and Steve a perfect 300. Becky left
an 8 pin in the first frame followed by
11 strikes and finished with a 704
series, while Steve finished with a
Steve and Becky Walker
767 series.
Steve also bowled back-to-back 804 series on 12/8 and 12/15 in the same
league the previous weeks. Becky booked a 205 average last season and was
a former Sacramento Women’s Bowling Association Queens Champion. Her
high series is 784 with 2 300 games on her resume. Steve booked 230 last
year, is a member of the Steve Cook Classic League and recently rejoined the
PBA. Steve has a high series of 832 and is not sure but has 30+ 300 games in
his career.
Steve and Becky have been married 11 years and now coach their niece
and nephew, Ashley and Alex Adams. Steve and Ashley recently won the New
Years Eve Jr. /Adult Tournament at Fireside Lanes. We look forward to seeing
this family continue their great accomplishments for many years to come.

SENIOR BOWLING CENTER
50 Years in Bowling
Fireside Lanes - Senior Majors
I would like to write this column as an open letter to
my old bowling buddy, Dick Donahue, in San Jose.
How many times have we gotten together and stated
that the promotions in bowling are not nearly as thorough and dedicated as they were in “our days?” How
bowling has gotten away from the building we did in
the 60-70 area? Well, I have discovered a throw back
to our days. His name is mike Richards and he is the
promotion manager at John T’s Albany bowl, in Albany, California. Here is a few of the similarities.
Started in bowling as a porter when he was 13, at
Cambrian Bowl, where he worked 8 years to develop
his bowling knowledge and wound up working the
desk. He had the highest sanctioned junior bowling
series total of 826 in the county in 1984. He has
bowled a total, as of this date, of 16 sanctioned 300
games. Here is something neither you, nor I ever did.
Mike and his dad, Ray both bowled a league 300
game at the same night at the Cambrian Bowl. Cambrian Bowl lost the service of Mike in 1991 when he
moved to Oakridge Bowl as desk and promotion manager. When Mike Wilds moved to Morgan Hills he took
Mike with him. I remember watching you bowl, Dick, in
the Classic league when the two Mikes ran the bowl.
Unfortunately the bowl in Morgan Hill was under financed, and only survived a couple of years, not for
lack of promotion and management, but because of
being out dated. Morgan Hill closed in 1995 and Mike
moved to Yuba City where he worked a short while at
Nu Generations Bowling Center. Starting to sound familiar Dick? It was in Yuba City that he met and fell in
love with his wife, Jina. He “retired” from the bowling
game for 5 years. The itch got to him again and in
2000 he saw an ad that John T. at Albany Bowl had
placed in the Bowling world for a promotion manager.
That is all he needed, and upon receiving an interview
with him John, who realized his potential, hired him,
and here is where I met Mike, his lovely wife Jina, and
two beautiful daughters. I figure we, here at Albany
Bowl, owe a debt of gratitude, to both John T. and the
Bowling World, the bible of bowling, for bringing Mike
back into bowling. Mike is currently averaging over
220 in a classic league and has brought hundreds of
new bowlers into the league format. Some of his ideas
are just as challenging and tempting as some of the
promotions we put on back in the 60’s. Mike is now 35
years young and I am sure that he has a great future
in bowling. John T. you better take good care of him,
bowling needs a lot of Mike’s.

Peninsula Seniors

Often times we think of ourselves as too old to kick the proverbial bucket when it
comes to getting into physical shape. Thinking this way can only perpetuate the
steady decline in health as well physical well being. What’s really against us is time.
We tend to think time is running out, so why bother with exercise; yet it has been
proven time and time again that exercise prolongs life.
The funny thing is – time is what most of us have plenty. It takes very little it to get
started in an exercise program. For as little as 30 minutes a day, three days a week,
you can get started on extending your life and reap the rewards of better health.
In bowling for example, a consistent exercise routine allows you to be extremely
flexible, and this in turn allows you to impart a better release on the ball with consistent follow through. Exercise also builds muscle tone as well as increased oxygen
flow. The benefits of exercise really do outweigh the constant feeling of fatigue,
aches and pains, and stiffness you may currently suffer.
For your bowling health, get started slowly if you have to, but get started. Your
bowling score will reflect the new you.
Now for some reported scores:

it all around as Joe Lopez(171) shot some multi-week scores of 243 & 255.
