TO PONDER
By CHUCK PEZZANO
Idle bowling thoughts.
…That next year you’re
always talking about? Don’t
look but it’s here.
…Golf can be an aggravating
sport, but most pro bowlers
play golf to relax from bowling,
which also can be an aggravating
game.
…Do Bahrain, Brunei,
Cyprus, Jersey, Kuwait, Malta,
Mauritus, Myanmar, Yemen
and Wales ring a bell? They
are among the more than 120
country bowling federations
that regularly bowl in FIQ and
other international bowling
competitions.
…Never thought I’d see the
day when bowling balls came
in more different colors than
Easter eggs.
…The charter members of
the ABC Hall of Fame were
Joe Bodis, Adolph Carlson,
Charley Daw, Peter Howley,
John Koster, Herb Lange, Mort
Lindsey, Hank Marino, Jimmy
Smith, Harry Steers and Gil
Zunker.
…Missing from the bowling
scene in regular league play is
the once large number of artistic
and zany bowling shirts.
These days many leagues have
more teams without bowling
shirts than with and sadly,
some leagues have more bowlers
wearing hats than wearing
bowling shirts.
…In too many cases the instructor
is the person who had
bowled once or twice before.
…We should always heed
the long ago words of former
American Junior Bowling
Congress manager Chuck Hall,
who said, “We need to renew
our enthusiasm for introducing
youngsters to bowling and
project the attitude that bowling
is the greatest game in the
world.” Amen.
…Want to learn some interesting
and revealing facts? Just
read the rule book – or the fine
print on a bowling tournament
entry blank.
…The average American has
a vocabulary of about 10,000
words. Doctors, lawyers and
journalists range from 15,000
to 20,000 words. Bowlers, in
their careers, use 25,000 words
just to describe how they
missed an easy spare.
…If you see a bowler still
cleaning his bowling ball after
every shot, don’t ask why,
just ask what else he got for
Christmas.
…If another bowler does
it, you call it a mistake or an
error. If you do it, it is called
practical experimentation that
failed.
…My nomination for the
best communicator in the
world is the bowling instructor
who can give bowling advice
and lessons without taking his
hands out of his pocket.
…Youngsters in a junior
bowling league held an election
and the adults were amazed
when a four-year-old was elected
president. An older member
of the group explained, “He
couldn’t be secretary because
he can’t write, or treasurer
because he can’t count that
well, and he would never do as

W.C. Fields once said, “Start
every day off with a smile and
get it over with,” Do the same
with every game you bowl.
