Who is Jackie Bowling?

Jackie Bowling

By Genie Franklin, Publisher

A few weeks ago, after

watching some of the live

action on the PBA’s Bowling

Channel, Xtra Frame, I found

ARLINGTON — The Bowling

Proprietors’ Association

of America (BPAA), bowling’s

premier trade association today

announced Captain Mark Kelly

(USN, Ret.) and commander of

the Space Shuttle Endeavour’s

final mission will be the featured

speaker at International

Bowl Expo when it meets June

24-28, 2012 in Reno, Nevada.

Capt. Kelly will deliver his

remarks Wednesday morning,

June27 during the bowling

industry’s annual convention

and trade show.

Kelly, who recently retired

from the U.S. Navy and NASA,

is an experienced naval aviator

myself wondering who is the

girl with the microphone. The

girl they refer to as Jackie

Bowling. She operates as the

PBA’s sideline reporter; all of

the players seem to know her

well and respond to her well,

but I’m not sure the viewing

public and fans of the sport

have much of an idea of where

she came from. When we were

out in Las Vegas last week

covering the World Series of

Bowling, we sat down and

interviewed the mysterious

Jackie Bowling.

Jackie Bowling is her

moniker, but her real name is

Jaclyn Marinkovich, of Detroit,

Michigan. An avid bowler since

she was 8 years old, Jackie decided

to bowl the 2009 WSOB

pro-am at Thunderbowl Lanes

in Allen Park, MI. because she

as she posted 221 and 219 in

Wounded warrior participates

in his first PBA tournament

By Page Dew

(pagedew@q.com)

Duty…Honor…Country!

Those are not just words to

Colorado’s Chris Helton, one of

thousands of wounded warriors

back in the United States after

serving their country in Iraq

and Afghanistan. Chris spent

nine and a half years in the

U.S. Army, joining two days

after 9-11-01.

Chris, the soldier, is also a

bowler, and a good one with a

high series of 842. In November,

he chose to take on the

toughest tasks in bowling, the

PBA World Series of Bowling

featuring 204 of the best bowlers

in the world. The roster

included PBA Champions and

international stars representing

16 countries.

Chris competed on four

different and difficult lane patterns.

It would be a challenging

experience for anyone, much

less someone who has never

competed at the professional

level; and someone who is still

fighting physical injuries from

his war wounds.

In the war, Chris was

severely wounded and almost

died. Surgical complications led

to a stroke for the now 27-yearold,

who is 40 pounds lighter

than his fighting weight. He

not his desire to be the best he

can be.

In the WSOB in Las Vegas,

Chris did not finish near the

top on any of the qualifying

days, but he met his goal of

learning what he has to work

on in the future. As word about

Chris spread throughout the

bowling community assembled

at the South Point Hotel,

Chris Helton at the World Series of Bowling.

Casino and Bowling Center,

PBA members such as Sean

Rash, Diandra Asbaty, Jason

Belmonte, Parker Bohn, and

Stevie Weber came over to him

to offer help and encouragement.

PBA officials and representatives

of bowling products

companies thanked him for

his service; all offered words

of encouragement and bowling

tips.

One of the first companies

to substantially assist Chris

was Brunswick, with an offer

to supply him with equipment

for the entire Tournament. Ball


drought has lost a lot of strength, but

I hope everyone had a safe

and Happy Thanksgiving and

made it back safe and sound

from travels abroad.

Thanksgiving is about

tradition and spending time

with family and friends, and

I was fortunate to have spent

time with Nikki’s family in

Oklahoma as well as my family

here in the Metroplex.

Obviously the good side is

that I get to see everyone and

catch up on the previous year’s

events, but the negative side is

all the food that my body takes

in on that one day. There is no

calculator available that could

measure all the food that I ate,

and I no doubt gained a couple

of pounds.

Certainly pushing away

from the table instead of ingesting

a third piece of pie was an

option, but I had to try mom’s

pumpkin pie or else it might

have hurt her feelings right?

I will be the first to admit

that I thought the NBA lockout

was going to be a non-factor

and that they were just trying

to be cool like the NFL lockout,

but I was completely wrong.

Both sides have now taken this

thing so far that I’m not sure

that they can recover quickly

from this.

The NFL missed preseason

games and nobody cared, but

had they missed any of the

regular season it would have

been disastrous. Now that the

NBA has already cancelled an

entire two months of games,

they are treading on thin ice

with the fans.

We can deal with missing

training camp, preseason, and

being a little rusty, but if you

mess with season long stats

and a shortened season, then

I’m simply not interested.

What happens if Derrick

Rose leads the league in points

per game and sets an NBA

record, but it’s only for 40

games?

That puts an asterisk by it,

and trust me, we fans hate the

asterisk. MLB had a strike in

1994 that cancelled the entire

post season and dragged all the

way to opening day 1995 where

they decided to settle on a 144

game season instead of the

normal 162.

Two seasons were disrupted

and altered and a massive

backlash ensued where attendance

was down over

40% when the season finally

started.

I can absolutely see this

happening to the NBA. As a

matter of fact I would love to

see arenas completely empty

as a sign to the owners and

players that no matter how

FOUNDED AND PUBLISHED BY JOE GENNARO FROM 1956-2009

great your product is, if nobody

is buying it then you cannot

exist!

It took me several years to

get back into baseball after

the strike in 1994-95 because I

realized that I didn’t need baseball

and that my life continued

on and something else filled

the void for me.

So far I haven’t missed

basketball much at all and now

that the season will have an

asterisk I could care even less.

(EDITOR’S NOTE: There is

now a handshake deal in place

that could put the NBA back

on the floor. We will have to

see what the season will consist

of, and if the Daceman will be

watching.)

There is one thing that

athletes in any sport must do,

and that is to appreciate the

talent and work that it takes

just to play in the league of the

greatest players in the world.

Therefore it is mind boggling

to me to see someone

like the Detroit Lion’s dirty

and despicable defensive end

Ndamukong Suh stomp on

another player like he was

nothing.

He should know as much as

anyone how he would feel if he

injured someone so bad that it

ruined their career.

The problem is that he

doesn’t think at all while he

is on the field and this is why

he needs to be suspended for

a couple of games. If the guy

can’t control himself then the

league needs to control him

and when his career is in

jeopardy, then maybe he will

finally get it.

What makes it worse is that

in this day and age of over

media exposure he thought

that the 10 cameras that were

on him wouldn’t show him

stomping another player? He

also stated in his after-game

press conference that he and

the guy upstairs know what

happened and that’s all that

matters to him. Well I hope he

was referring to Big Brother

because we all know what he

did and he’s delusional if he

thinks that his actions were

justified in any way shape or

form.

We are always

looking for human

interest story

ideas—let us know

Vernon Smith

This week’s high male is

Vernon Smith who shot 279-

279-289 for an 847 series in

the Men’s Nite Out league at

Cowtown Bowling Palace.

Vernon has been with

Bell Helicopter for the last 17

years as a Precision Deburr.

For those that don’t know that

what that is, it means that he’s

the last line of defense before

the part gets onto a helicopter,

thank you Vernon!

What is your high series?

This is my highest ever; I

believe I have bowled eight

800’s now.

How many 300’s have you

bowled? 34

Thoughts on your big night? I

was just trying to stay focused,

and keep it going. I left a 10pin

in the 4th frame of the first

two games, and then a ten pin

in the first, and a ten pin on

the last shot, so 4 ten pins out

of 36 shots, I was amazed at

the series. You just hope those

ten’s fall like you want them to,

and fortunately they did. I was

really just trying to focus and

make sure that I was throwing

the ball the best I could.

What ball did you throw?

The Lane 1 Chain Saw Massacre,

my buddy Eddie Thomas

was telling me about the Lane

1 balls, and if you keep it

going, those balls will really

strike. So I gave them a shot,

and those balls have really

been working.

Who drills your balls? Xeno

Garcia drilled this one; previously

Otis Pillow has drilled

my balls.

What is your all-time

favorite bowling ball? I really

try to keep an open mind with

equipment, and back in the

90’s Ross Maxwell told me

to give Ebonite, Storm, and

Columbia a shot, and at that

time I was throwing nothing

but Rhino Pro’s. But I followed

his advice, and now I will

throw everything.

What is your average in this

league? 224

What is your all-time high

average? 232

How long have you been

bowling? I got started in 1980;

my parents bowled but I didn’t

really start then. I started

bowling with my wife in her

Radio Shack work league. I

saw a guy bowling, he had a

300 ring, and I wanted one of

those, and was determined to

get myself one.

Who is your favorite pro

bowler? I am a big fan Amleto

Monacelli, he was the reason

why I was the Rhino Pro man.

Most memorable bowling moment?

My first 300; it was the

ultimate shaking like a leaf,

knees clacking moment. It was

at DC Southwest, people were

back there watching, I was on

THE BOWLING NEWS | Thursday, December 1, 2011 | Page 3

cloud nine, it was a really cool

moment.

Vernon’s tip of the week:

Throw the ball and watch it

react, and make the adjustments.

The lanes and reaction

of the ball will tell you what

adjustments need to be made.

Welcome to a special 2011

Year In Review installment

of “Loving Left-Handedness”,

an informative and often

satirical glimpse into life from

a left-handers perspective,

written by lefties, and intended

for both lefties and, of course,

sometimes our right handed

counterparts too.

As the holidays descend

upon us in full force I thought

it would be fun to recap some

of the wisdom, fun, and banter

that has made this column tick

in 2011. This is also a good opportunity

to catch up on some

of the highlights, just in case

you missed an episode. Not

that you ever would though

right? So here they are in no

particular order, The Best of

2011.

We burst the rumor that the

Earth’s rotation is what give

left handers an advantage

in bowling, and in life, and

placed the blame back on

people’s natural tendency

to have bias for what they

do not understand. Truth

is the majority of us know

we all have good days and

bad ones on the lanes but

ultimately handedness is not

the deciding factor.

Yes, I used to watch the

PBA telecast’s through a

mirror so I could see the

best righties on earth from

the left side of the lane…

By Aaron Walsh, Guest Columnist

rather ingenious I think. I

also shaved a Brunswick “B”

and “Phantom” logo in the

back of my head in 1991 A

la Vanilla Ice…I think we

can all agree we did some

dumb things when we were

teenagers…let’s move on.

While I do log more games

annually than Publisher

Tony Franklin, we’re both

far surpassed combined by

linage from Metroplex league

bowlers extraordinaire Clint

“Daceman” Dacy and Leisha

“Last Call” Murr.

A full team of lefties

at USBCs or any team

tournament would be a

spectacle and most likely

either end up sinking like

the Titanic, with the vocal

minority citing an inability

to adjust; or end with

domination in which the

same crowd would protest

the lanes being walled on the

left…think about that for a

second…try not to be one of

those people.

Your “qwerty” keyboard

favors left handers almost

8 to 1 in words that can be

typed with just the right

hand versus those typed with

just the left…”reverberated”

is still by far my favorite,

Techies are more likely

than the average 10% of the

population to be left handed.

Four of the five original

Apple founders including

Steve Jobs (RIP) dreamed up

the original Mac up in their

right brain. This is also why

I’m better at Angry Birds

than you.

One place left handers do

not dominate is in the NFL

as illustrated by my attempt

to draft an all lefty fantasy

team this year. Although I

did quote Hank Williams Jr.

in that piece about three days

before he got himself booted

off ESPN…the lefty curse,

watch out.

In all seriousness thank you

to everyone reading for all of

your emails and messages on

Twitter. I’ve really enjoyed the

correspondence and am thankful

for the friends (old and

new) this column has opened

up for me. If you have more

questions or any comments for

me I welcome them via email

aaron@TheBowlingNews.

net and you can follow me on

Twitter @awal75 to send them

there. In closing I want to give

my top five New Year’s resolutions

for 2012.

#5 - More time in the Gym,

less time on the couch…I think

this is obligatory on everyone’s

list.

#4 - Get 21 games in for

league this year…I’m trying to

log a book average three years

in a row!

#3 - Read more to my son

and encourage him to ask a lot

of questions about life…he’s a

lefty too.

Brunswick Continues to Prove Investing in

Bowling is a Striking Opportunity

Muskegon, Michigan — As

the popularity of bowling

increases, so do the profits.

The Bowling Proprietors

Association of America recently

reported increased revenues

within the bowling industry,

with more than a $10 billion

impact on the national

economy. Brunswick has

continuously worked to grow

the popularity of bowling in

the U.S. and on an international

scale. There are numerous

factors which continue to make

bowling a profitable industry:

Bowling continues to lead

the industry as the nation’s

top participatory sport.

According to the Bowling

Proprietor’s Association of

America (BPAA), bowling’s

non-profit trade association,

the 2010 Simmons Research

Data ranks bowling number

one in popularity. It has

virtually double the number

of active participants of

Fong and Hopkins 300’s,

Jake McKewin held the hot

hand last week at Plano Super

Bowl with a high-powered 245-

golf and triple the active

participants of tennis or

skiing within the United

States.

The popularity of bowling

has grown on a global

scale. Over 100 million

people are bowling annually

in 100 countries. In 1976,

Brunswick opened its first

bowling center in Moscow,

today over 50 percent of sales

come from international

markets; Brunswick has a

strong focus on Australia,

Brazil, Dubai, India, Mexico,

Poland and Russia.

Bowling has evolved into

a year-round, multi-leisure

activity which combines

sport, leisure and activity.

The popularity of bowling

has grown substantially

among women and youth

bowlers.

Investors are attracted to

the business of bowling.

The continuous growth and

236-299 = 780 Jack & Jill league

series.

Brandy Smith led the ladies

success within the industry

makes bowling an ideal

investment. Although the

development of a bowling

center demands a substantial

capital investment, the low

inventory requirements and

strong cash flow offer unique

financial advantages for

potential investors.

Throughout 2011, Brunswick

Bowling celebrates its 50

years of continuous presence in

Europe.

As a global bowling leader,

Brunswick officially established

its European headquarters

and the entity, Brunswick

GmbH, in 1961 in Frankfurt,

Germany where it continues to

operate today.

Since then, Brunswick has

opened numerous international

offices and facilities throughout

Europe securing its presence

as a global leader within the

industry.

2012 Senior Queens shifts

to Texas next fall

ARLINGTON — The dates

and location for the 2012

United States Bowling Congress

Senior Queens have been

changed, and the event now

will be part of a weeklong

celebration of senior women’s

bowling at the International

Bowling Campus in Arlington,

Texas, in late October 2012.

The qualifying, match-play

and championship portions of

the USBC Senior Queens will

take place at the International

Training and Research Center,

and all rounds will be broadcast

live on BOWL.com. New

for 2012, the tournament will

feature a stepladder championship

round. The official dates

and details of special events for

competitors will be available in

early spring.

The change accommodates

the addition of the Senior U.S.

Women’s Open as a division of

the U.S. Women’s Open, which

will take place in Reno, Nev.,

in June, just two weeks before

the Senior Queens originally

was scheduled to be conducted.

competition last week at AMF

are now two major events for

our senior women bowlers,”

USBC Managing Director of

Tournaments Brian Lewis said.

“In order to better serve our

bowlers who wish to compete

in both of these major senior

women’s events, we have

elected to change the dates and

location of the Senior Queens.

It also gives them the opportunity

the experience the ITRC

and see what else the IBC and

Arlington have to offer.”

The 2012 Senior Queens

will be the 13th edition of the

annual event that is open to

USBC female members age 50

and older. Earlier this year,

Paula Vidad of Sun City, Calif.,

won the 2011 tournament in

Syracuse, N.Y.

Senior Queens bowlers face

the traditional double-elimination

match-play bracket – the

same format used by the USBC

Queens – to crown a champion.

The winner receives a tiara,

pendant and trophy. First place

for the 2012 Senior Queens will

be $5,000 with an estimated

overall prize pool of $30,000.

By Leisha Murr

November has been a very

busy month for me with a trip

to Las Vegas to watch some of

the WSOB followed by a roadtrip

to Oklahoma to bowl in the

Tulsa Open, and having travel

league (and a make-up) on

the other weekends. So, I was

happy to stay home and have

a very relaxing Thanksgiving

weekend with my family.

My dad works for the

railroad, so we never make

very big plans for the holidays

because you never know if

he will be home or called

to work. Originally, we had

planned to just take the easy

route this year and go out for

Thanksgiving dinner. Instead,

my sister-in-law invited us to

join with her family for dinner

at their house. So, my mom

cooked the turkey and dressing

and she took care of the rest

and we had a big multi-family

gathering after all. My uncle

and cousin also decided to join

us from Oklahoma, so it was

a great day with lots of loved

ones.

My dad worked until 9 p.m.

that night, but we saved some

turkey and pumpkin pie for

him so he wasn’t too disappointed.

He was called back

to work by noon the next day,

Vernon Smith, Jr. pocketed a

strike-filled 279-279-289 = 847

Men’s Night Out series to end

as the number-one bowler of

the week at Cowtown Bowling

Palace. He added a 238 game to

end the evening with a four-game

1085 series.

Amy Hart fired a sizeable

231/665 Ladies and Gents set to

lead the lady bowlers.

Sam Magill and Mike Velasco

shared high-game accolades with

award-winning 12-baggers.

so he didn’t get much time to

relax over the holiday. He will

be making up for it this week

as he starts his five weeks of

vacation through the end of the

year. I’m not sure my mom can

make a “honey-do” list long

enough to keep him occupied

for five weeks, but at least we

know he will not be working

for Christmas this year.

I got a message on Facebook

from a friend I met a few years

ago while working the Mini

Eliminator tournaments in Las

Vegas. They were in town for

the holidays and going to the

Cowboys’ game on Thanksgiving

Day. I happily went over to

Arlington on Thursday night

to say hello and catch up with

them for a while after the

game. We talked about getting

together for some tournaments

and all of the great times

and memories we make at

bowling tournaments. I don’t

think anyone ever gets tired

of hearing all the stories from

the “good old days” of bowling.

It’s really amazing how many

great friends I’ve made over the

years because of this game we

call bowling. I’ve met people

from all over the world and I’ve

never been off this continent

(although my passport is ready

to go!)

So as I was heading home

on Thursday night I thought,

maybe I should stop and get

myself a new TV with the

“Black Friday” sales that were

about to begin. I was already

out, so why not, right? I took

the exit to go to Best Buy and

as I saw the traffic-jam to get

into the parking lot I just kept

driving. Their parking lot,

along with the three surrounding

store’s were completely full

and the line to get in the door

was around the building. Starting

the “Black Friday” sales at

midnight (or even on Thanksgiving

Day) has just tripled the

number of crazy shoppers out

there. For me, the deals aren’t

worth all the headaches. I’ll

hold out for “Cyber-Monday”

and see if I can get a good deal

online in my pajamas instead.

I try to be thankful each

and every day, but Thanksgiving

always reminds me of how

much I have to be thankful

for. Today, I am thankful that

I have a TV that works and

I don’t HAVE to fight all the

crazy shoppers at midnight to

save $20 on a new one.

In all seriousness, I am

thankful each and every day

for my family who supports

me even when I do things that

don’t necessarily make them

proud. They are always there

for me in the good and the bad

and will love me unconditionally.

I am also thankful for all

of the great friends and “bowling

family” I have. We touch

each other’s lives, and win or

lose, we will be there for each

other.

of the Veterans Day National

Committee.

Representing the Bowlers

to Veterans Link (BVL) as a

member of that committee, was

HN Sean Ryan Bridges (USN),

currently serving at Walter

Reed National Military Medical

Center. Bridges carried the

American flag in honor of the

California USBC BVL, as he is

the grandson of the long-time

co-chair of the California BVL

campaign, Rosie Parker. For

decades, the California USBC

has been the frontrunner in

fund-raising to support the BVL

cause. Joining Bridges to carry

the BVL flag was Steve Faunce,

of the Thunderbird Lanes

chain of bowling centers in the

Philadelphia area. Thunderbird

Lanes has helped to lead

the bowling center effort in the

support of BVL.

Following remarks by VA

Secretary Eric Shinseki and

President Obama at the observance,

BVL representatives

convened to lay a wreath at

the Tomb of the Unknowns.

This contingent included BVL

Board Chair Darlene Baker,

BVL Board Member Wally Hall,

and two special guests of BVL,

Stu Upson, Executive Director

of the United States Bowling

Congress, and Steve Johnson,

Executive Director of the Bowling

Proprietors’ Association of

America.

Earlier that morning, Upson

and Johnson were invited by

BVL to represent the charity at

a special White House breakfast

hosted by President and

Mrs. Obama. There, they had

the opportunity to speak with

the President about BVL and

the organization’s commitment

to support our nation’s active

duty and veteran service men

season. At the meeting, BVL

Chair Darlene Baker also

outlined several initiatives being

planned by BVL to further

support the VA.

“It was an honor to represent

BVL at these activities,”

noted Upson. “It brings the

BBIA Unveils First

Industry Catalog

Arlington, Texas - After

a decade of discussion, the

Billiard & Bowling Institute of

America (BBIA) will publish

bowling’s first cooperative

industry catalog. “Currently,

each manufacturer will supply

a catalog of each brand to their

distributors. The distributors

will place each catalog in a

large binder then forward

the binders to the pro shops

and bowling centers within

its area,” said BBIA President

Phil Cardinale. “The problem,

however, is that there is an

amazing amount of overlap

in sending more than one

catalog to the same address. By

sending one group catalog to

each location, both manufacturer

and distributor will save

thousands.”

The association has

contracted Luby Publishing

to manage the entire project.

WHO IS JACKIE

Continued from Page 1

had never met a professional

bowler. She was invited to

watch the WSOB qualifying

and was hooked from that

point on.

She tried to go to as many

tour stops as she could that

season. The PBA and the Xtra

Frame noticed she kept showing

up and asked, “Who is this

person”?

Throughout the summer,

Jackie kept up with all of the

tour stops, the senior tour and

the regional tour. After seeing

so much of her at all of these

events, the PBA decided to invite

her to the senior tour stop in

Jackson, MI. Marinkovich came

out to the senior tour stop and

talked with them on PBA Xtra

Frame and before she knew it,

she was interviewing Wayne

Webb. This was a girl who was

not a reporter nor had any formal

training in the art, and had

ever been on camera. However,

from that point on, she would be

known as Jackie Bowling and

sponsored by Power House.

It turns out that the PBA

was looking for a female

presence that was a fan, not a

professional analyst or seasoned

reporter. Well Bowling

fit the bill perfectly because

she is a huge fan and doesn’t

have any professional broadcasting

experience. After high

school, she went to college to

be an art teacher. Not really

finding her niche, she left college

and worked full time at a

friend’s bar & grill until she fell

into her dream job with PBA’s

Xtra Frame. In her spare time,

Jackie plans to take some communication

and broadcasting

classes online, now that she’s

found her passion.

When Jackie isn’t on tour,

she works part-time and continues

to bowl league and tournaments.

Her average is around

185, but she does get some tips

from the guys on tour, so she

can get over the 200 mark.

Bowling hopes her fans

realize she is a true bowler, a

fan of all bowlers and the sport

of bowling. She wants to support

bowling and keep it alive. Her

main purpose and the reason

why she is Jackie Bowling is

because she is a huge fan that

wants to embrace everything out

on the road and bring the players

to the fans at home. As for

her view of traveling and being

on the road, she had this to say,

“It’s awesome! This is a dream

traveling with these guys. Every

one of these guys is special in

their own way. It’s cool to see

how they react after a shot and

how they are after they bowl. I

don’t know how to explain how

cool it is to be on the road and

be in this environment. You

get to know these people on

a personal level and it’s super

cool.” Cheers to the PBA and

Xtra Frame for giving Jackie her

shot, and bringing the bowlers

to the fans.

Bowling video-interview,

Tile artist Sal Grieco has been at it again, this is Cowtown’s display of

league bowlers that have served in our armed forces. This board is

ceramic tile and can be added to. Each picture has the bowlers name

and branch of service. It is in a very prominent place so everyone will

see it. Jamie Brooks said “Our bowlers really like it and I hope

others will copy it.”

SHUTTLE COMMANDER


Superior Service Medal and the

Distinguished Flying Cross. He

was selected as an astronaut in

1966. He flew the first of his

four missions in 2001 aboard

Space Shuttle Endeavour, the

same shuttle he commanded

on its final flight in May 2011.

He also led the mission team

aboard the shuttle Discovery

and is only one of two individuals

who have visited the

International Space Station on

four different occasions.

“Captain Kelly is an

American hero who inspires

others to be their best while

remaining true to their core

values,” said Steve Johnson,

executive director of the BPAA.

“He exemplifies leadership, the

importance of teamwork and

courage under pressure - all

applicable to business owners

in today’s world. He is a role

model for all who have aspirations

and dreams.”

Already a celebrated American,

Kelly was thrust into the

international spotlight after

the January 2011 assassination

attempt on his wife, U.S. Rep.

Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz.

Kelly and congresswoman

Giffords’ forthcoming memoir

Gabby which shares their story

of hope and resilience will be

released November 15.

Kelly’s identical twin

brother, Scott, is also an astronaut

who served as commander

of both the Space Shuttle and

the International Space Station.

They share the distinction of

being the only siblings who

have travelled in space.

With over 6,000 flight hours

in more than 50 different

aircraft, 375 aircraft carrier

landings, 39 combat missions

and more than 50 days in

space, Kelly is one of America’s

more experienced pilots.

“Bowling and flying in

space share some similarities,”

said Capt. Kelly. “Whether it is

throwing a bowling ball down

a lane or flying a spacecraft

to a touchdown on a runway,

there is an enormous amount

of concentration involved.

Neither are easy. I’m looking

forward to speaking to the

bowling industry and getting

some tips on how to keep it out

of the gutter.”

Kelly received his B.S.

degree in marine engineering

and nautical science from the

United States Merchant Marine

Academy in 1986 and in 1994

he was awarded his M.S.

degree in aeronautical engineering

from the U.S. Naval

Postgraduate School. He retired

from the U.S. Navy and NASA

in October 2011.

Behind the scenes at the

World Series of Bowling

By Leisha Murr, Columnist

Genie and I are back from

our short week in Las Vegas

covering the World Series of

Bowling. We interviewed lots

of players, about 30 in all,

and got to see lots of great

action. We did about 25 video

interview’s and will be posting

those on The Bowling News

website over the coming weeks,

adding a few new ones each

week to give you something

new to watch with regularity.

Here are my thoughts on

some of the behind the scenes

goings-on.

For the second year in a

row, the bowling center at the

South Point Casino and Hotel

was the host for the WSOB.

The entire World Series, which

accounts for almost half of the

PBA tour season, was held on

their 64-lanes. It costs so much

to pack up the trucks and move

all of the equipment to another

center (even across town) that

financially it makes sense for

the PBA to stay in one place.

South Point is a split bowling

center with a concourse

down the center separating

each side of 32 lanes. Xtra

frame was set up right in the

middle of the concourse on an

elevated platform with all of

their chairs, computers, and

cameras ready with a birds-eye

view to cover all the action.

The split set-up also worked

out well for the WSOB because

they put the bleachers down

the center of the concourse and

spectators could keep an eye

on the action going on either

side during the tournaments.

The number of spectators

watching the event disappointed

me. There were several fans

from the older demographic,

but very few middle-aged or

younger fans. Most of the

qualifying was held during

normal working/school hours,

so there weren’t many families

out bringing their children to

watch either.

There were no Pro-Am tournaments,

autograph sessions,

charity events, or anything special

to give the fans and spectators

a chance to interact and be

excited to see the professional

bowlers in action. It was great

to see two of the greatest in our

sport, Hall of Famers’ Carmen

Salvino and Mark Roth in the

crowd all week supporting the

event and talking to the fans,

the few fans that there were.

The tournaments were

extremely confusing and hard

to follow, and even some of the

competitors we talked to said

they had to check the board

each time they finished bowling

to see when they needed to

be back to bowl again. Every

day, there were just more

games of qualifying for yet

another tournament. There

weren’t any exciting match-play

formats or elimination rounds

to watch until the final days of

the event and during the taping

of the television finals.

With the bowling center

being inside the South Point

hotel, it is a very convenient

place to stay. They have just

about everything you need

onsite. Restaurants in the

building cover all types of

cuisine including a buffet, café,

Mexican, Italian, a steakhouse,

a deli, a coffee and ice-cream

shop, and a Steak ‘n Shake.

There wasn’t too much down

time during the WSOB, but

South Point also has a movie

theater, gym and spa for the

guys to relax and de-stress.

Several players stayed

on-site, but many also got

into groups of 4-8 and rented

a house or condo nearby.

Those renting said being away

from the building gave them

a chance to clear their heads,

relax with friends, and have

a normal meal. You get the

opportunity to get out in the

fresh air and don’t get sucked

into gambling each night.

We didn’t see very many

of the bowlers in the casino

gambling while we were there.

I’m not sure if they had

gambled a lot during the first

week and were out of money,

or just tired, or just trying to

ignore the casino and focus on

bowling. I did, however, see

several players sending their

bets to the sports book each

day, so there was still some

gambling going on.

After two weeks of bowling

every day, the players were a

little worn down. The attitudes

were great if they were bowling

well, but really negative

for those who were struggling.

Having all of the events on

the same lane surface favored

some players more than others

and led to some frustration

for those who didn’t match up

well. A couple of the Southwest

areas’ finest even showed their


International Flavor at the WSOB

By Genie Franklin, Publisher

The World Series of Bowling

brings in a lot of international

bowlers. So, while I was in

Vegas, I asked a few of them

some questions about their

American favorites.

What is your favorite

American sport?

Jason Belmonte (Australia):

Baseball, I like the Dodgers

and White Sox

Dom Barrett (England): I

like golf and my favorite player

is Luke Donald (editor’s note:

golf originated in Scotland and

Donald is an English player)

Stuart Williams (England):

American Football, my favorite

player is the Oakland Raiders

kicker Janikowski. He seems

very laid back, like he just

finished a cigarette on the

sideline. My favorite team is

the New England Patriots, but

pretty much any team with

England in the name.

Mika Koivuniemi (Finland):

Learned to watch football, but

hockey is my favorite – Red

Wings. I am starting to root

for the Lions since they are

winning.

Nina Flack (Sweden): Bowling

(editor’s note: bowling didn’t

originate in the U.S.)

Sandra Andersson (Sweden):

Bowling

Martin Larsen (Sweden):

None, but I went to one baseball

game…it was too slow

Andres Gomez (Columbia):

I love NFL and College football.

My favorite team is the Florida

Gators.


American food?

JB: I like the Cheesecake

Factory

DB: Anything fried

SW: Chicken Parmesan, you

can’t get it anywhere else

MK: Steak

NF: Hamburgers

SA: Fried Chicken

ML: Hamburgers

AG: A good hamburger off

Jason Belmonte (Australia)

the grill


American city?

JB: I like Chicago to relax

and Las Vegas to party. I would

like to live in Manhattan for a

year.

DB: New York

SW: Phoenix, I like the

hot weather (editor’s note: no

one likes the hot weather in

Phoenix, Stu has an American

girlfriend that lives there.)

MK: I live in Michigan, but

if I could retire, I would like

to own a vineyard in northern

California.

NF: Las Vegas

SA: Las Vegas

ML: Las Vegas

Since most of the international

bowlers have traveled

the world, I asked what

country makes the best beer?

JB: I don’t drink, but my

Australian mates say Germany

DB: Belgium

SW: I’m non-alcoholic, but

Italy makes the best food.

MK: Finland beer

NF: Carlsberg, a Swedish

beer

SA: Heineken

ML: Germany, they make a

lot of good beers.

AG: I like European beers,

like Heineken. I also found a

great Belgian beer, called Duvel

that has twice the alcohol of

regular beer.

SPOTLIGHT


since 2005 and enjoys the

interaction with all of the

bowlers the most.

What is your high series?

780, I probably shot that in

2008.

How many 300’s have you

bowled? One, back in March of

2003.

Thoughts on your big night?

It was an effortless night that

we all wish for. The very next

night I came back and bowled

bad, so I guess that was just

my night. I didn’t have to move

my feet all night, just added a

little ball speed.

What ball did you throw?

The Brunswick DV8 Reckless,

it is my first new ball in three

years, and I just love it. It’s

worked really good for me. My

husband, Jim had actually ordered

this ball for himself but

What is your average in this

How long have you been

bowling? I have been bowling

for 35 years; started in youth

Most memorable bowling

an 800 series.

BEHIND THE SCENES


frustration on the lanes. One

launched a ball underhanded

from the back of the approach,

and another just threw the

ball down the lane with a

two-handed chest pass at yet

another un-makeable spare at

the end of the week.

The stress, number of

games, and long hours during

the WSOB got to everyone, but

every single player we asked to

interview or talk to was happy

to take a minute and give us a

good interview. I was surprised

that we didn’t really see any

other media or press at the

WSOB. Bill Vint did a great job

with all of the press-releases

and communications for the

PBA, and PBA’s Xtra frame was

doing some player interviews,

but that was it until the finals.

The PBA is holding the release

of all of the results until they

air, but Gianmarc Manzione

with USBC communications

was onsite at the finals and

has posted spoilers of all of

the WSOB results on bowl.com

if you would like to see.

Colo., defeated Kurt Gengelbach

of Carrollton, Texas, 278-183, to

win the joint PBA Southwest/

West Region Farmington Open

at Bowlero Lanes in Farmington,

The title was Dias’ third

“first” in PBA competition

this year. In April, he won his

first PBA Senior Tour title in

Winter Garden, Fla., In October

he won his first PBA Senior

Regional title in Junction City,

Kan., and his win in Farmington

was his first in standard

PBA Regional competition. He

also earned $2,500.

In Laurel, Del., Sam Maccarone

of Sewell, N.J., started the

championship match with the

10 strikes on his way to a 289-

182 victory over Kent Wagner

of Palmetto, Fla., in the PBA

East Region’s Bryan’s Bowling

Center Senior Open presented

by The Insurance Market on

Sunday. The win was Maccarone’s

13th in regional competition,

but his first in more than

a year. The three-time East

Region Senior Player of the

Year earned $1,800.

The only PBA Regional

activity over the Thanksgiving

holiday weekend will be

the PBA Southwest Region’s

Beaumont Open at Crossroads

Bowling Center in Beaumont,

Texas. And over the Dec. 2-4

weekend, the only activity is

Kulick did the substitute role.

The pair have been the nation’s

most recognized stars in the

past decade. Kulick was, and

still is, a resident of Union, NJ.

Kulick’s appearance

brought up the question as to

whether she would mention

her being included in ESPN the

Magazine’s photo display of top

athletes, female and male, in

intimate poses.

Kulick handled the subject

with frankness and humor,

explained how it all came

about, that she had major input

all the way, and now that the

large audience might have seen

her, how the audience might

look in similar circumstances.

She received a huge laugh and

a warm loud ovation.

Kulick has long been rated

as one of the finest bowlers in

the world and one of the sport’s

premier ambassadors in every

way. She continues to enhance

that role model designation.

Bill O’Neill was named Met

male bowler of the year. The

Southampton, Pa. four-time

collegiate All-American, threeyear

Team USA star, and PBA

Rookie of the Year, continues

to impress. He was the only

player to cash in all 12 Tour

events and made the top five in

three of four majors.

The writers selected Leanne

Hulsenberg as the nation’s top

female bowler, based mostly

on her win in the 2011 Open

where she bested Kulick in the

final game. Fans will probably

recognize her easier by her

maiden name of Barrette, a top

star on the women’s pro tour

for almost 20 years. She won

26 titles, was Player of the Year

twice and elected to the USBC

Hall of Fame in 2007. When the

women’s tour was suspended in

2003, she cut her bowling and

spent her time as a homemaker

and mother. She picks her

spots and hopes the tour can

return. The Open was the first

time her husband saw her win,

since they didn’t meet until

after the tour sputtered.

For the first time ever, a

senior tour bowler was elected

male national bowler of the

year as Ron Mohr of Eagle

River, Alaska piled up performances

that the writers felt

could not be overlooked.

He tied the record for one

year tournament titles winning

four of 10 starts. Mohr qualified

for the match play portion

in all 10 events he rolled, then

proceeded to rack up a 69

percent win ratio in the head

to head matches. In addition

to his four wins, one of them

being the Senior U.S. Open,

Mohr finished second twice,

third twice, fourth and 13th.

Though senior prizes are

modest, he pocketed $56,100

to lead the money winning

list, and ran away with the

point list based on tournament

position finishes.

What Mohr can you ask

of any bowler, even though

many feel that winners of the

Open, the Masters and the

Tourney of Champions should

be given more acclaim than

seniors. They usually do but

what Mohr did was a once in a

half-century performance well

worth special notice.

The Thumbhole

The more snug the thumbhole,

the more pure your

release. The tighter the hole,

the faster you come out of it.

Seems counterintuitive, huh?

There’s a lot to a thumbhole.

It’s got to be right size and

shape, the pitch needs to be

spot on, and it has to be in the

right location on the ball. A

thumbhole that’s too loose or

doesn’t fit the shape of your

thumb will cause a tight swing

and an inconsistent release.

Your thumb should exit with

no drag.

If the thumbhole is too big,

as the ball descends into the

swing the thumb starts to slip

out of the hole since the hole is

too big. You don’t want that to

happen so, you squeeze to be

sure no one needs to bail out

of the bowler’s area when it’s

your turn. You’ve got a death

grip through the swing and

you hang up at release a bit.

Whew! That was close. You

almost launched one! Guess

that Pro Shop Dude/Dudette

got it too tight.

Off to visit the pro shop

you go, asking that the hole

be opened up since you can’t

get out of it. The operator has

probably said, “No, you don’t

want it big. You’ll clear the ball

better when the fit is snug.”

You think he’s crazy and insist

that it be made bigger.

It’s a vicious circle. The bigger

the hole, the more the ball

tends to slip off your thumb.

The more it feels like it’s slip-

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK – Paul

Norwood compiled a top flight

269/773 league set to gain the

top spot on the honor roll last

month at Heritage Lanes.

Senior bowler, Jeri Taylor

earned the top spot again to

lead the lady bowlers with a fine

278/733 set.

Cid Davis posted an awardwinning

12-bagger to win highgame

honors.

ping, the more you’ll squeeze.

Imagine a cylinder around

your thumb. Now bend your

knuckle a bit. That cylinder

better expand so it becomes big

enough to accommodate the

new diameter your bent thumb

created. When you bend your

knuckle to squeeze the ball,

the thumb has to have more

space, in other words, a bigger

hole. The more you squeeze,

the bigger the hole you need.

The bigger the hole, the more

you need to squeeze.

There are at least two

benefits of a snug thumbhole.

One is a smooth, flowing,

effortless armswing. The

other is a clean release. It’s

not biomechanically possible

to squeeze the ball without

involving the entire arm and

shoulder. A tight arm means a

rigid and restricted armswing

and delivery - not a good idea

when you’re trying to repeat

shots and be consistent. The

muscles can only contract so

far. If you are squeezing the

ball in the swing, you are

contracting your muscles to do

so. If they are contracted before

the release, you’ll have nothing

left to put on the ball!

Grip the ball from the base

of your thumb to the pad. If

your thumbnail is against the

back of the hole, you’re doing

it right. For many people,

when they first do this, they

are shocked at how big the

thumbhole feels. In theory,

your thumbhole could be as

big around as a baseball and

you could still hold onto the

ball. Not many of us, of course,

could tolerate this but it does

serve to point out which part

of your thumb should grip the

ball. We’ll talk about the ART

of taping your thumbhole next

month.

WOUNDED WARRIOR


Specialists Robert Lawrence

and Billy Orlikowski spearheaded

that effort and also

worked with Chris on lane play

and his physical game. They

have promised to continue their

association with him beyond

the World Series of Bowling.

Before the Tournament, Del

Ballard, a member of the PBA

Hall of Fame, and two- time

USBC National Coach of the

Year Susie Minshew helped

Chris with his physical game.

Chris and Alisa, his wife

of six years, now live in the

Colorado Springs area. Alisa

will graduate in December

with a degree in nursing from

Colorado State University,

Pueblo. Chris is now medically

retired from the Army, does

software applications and is

majoring in physics and math

at the University of Colorado,

Colorado Springs (UCCS)

But he still has his dream

of bowling and winning

against the best in the world.

Here’s hoping that his dream

becomes a roadmap to reality.

PBA Experience leagues

available from Sport Bowling

ARLINGTON — United

States Bowling Congress Sport

Bowling members looking to

challenge themselves on the

same conditions seen on the

Professional Bowlers Association

Tour again will have that

opportunity with the return of

the PBA Experience.

PBA Experience leagues will

be back in action beginning

Nov. 1, and bowlers will be

able to test their skills on the

Viper, Shark, Scorpion, Chameleon,

Cheetah, Earl Anthony,

Carmen Salvino, Detroit Open,

World Championship, Tournament

of Champions and U.S.

Open oil patterns featured at

national and regional PBA

events. Patterns will be available

in the coming weeks as

they are adapted for the various

lane machines.

“Bowlers really seem to

enjoy measuring themselves

against the pros they see on TV

and other Sport bowlers,” said

USBC Executive Director Stu

Upson. “We are pleased to once

again partner with the PBA

to offer this option to leagues

across the country.”

Competing on the same lane

patterns used at the highest

level helps bowlers focus on

accuracy and shot making and

puts an emphasis on spares.

What sets a Sport pattern apart

from a traditional house condition

is the ratio of oil applied

to the lane. A Sport pattern is

much flatter and less forgiving,

while a house shot allows for a

greater margin of error.

While competing in a

PBA Experience league does

require a membership upgrade,

there are many benefits to

taking the Sport Bowling

challenge. Along with being

able to pinpoint weaknesses

and hone their skills, Sport

members are eligible for special

awards, member rewards, great

discounts from bowling’s top

manufacturers and local pro

shops and a members-only

section on BOWL.com that

features tips and other valuable

information.

“PBA Experience leagues allow

bowlers to experience what

it’s like to bowl on the PBA

Tour, but at their own pace and

in a more comfortable environment,”

said PBA Commissioner

Tom Clark. “These patterns

are familiar and recognizable,

and bowlers can improve by

watching the PBA telecasts for

strategies or by reading tips

from their favorite PBA stars.

We’re all looking forward to

the return of this program.”

The international oil patterns

currently being used for

Team USA Experience leagues

will continue to be available.
