BRENTWOOD, Calif. — 

Professional Bowlers Association 

Hall of Famer Walter Ray 

Williams Jr. made a bid to 

become the favorite for 2012 

Hoping to learn how to 

properly spin his bowling 

ball to strike, Sgt. 1st Class 

Senior Player of the Year honors 

by winning the PBA Senior 

Northern California Classic 

presented by Track Wednesday 

at Harvest Park Bowl. 

Chiedoziem Nwofor visited the 

Lanes on Saturday morning. 

After a just a few hours, the 

BPAA U.S. 

Women’s Open 

Two-time US Open champ, Kelly Kulick leads 

qualifying at press time after 2nd round of US Open. 

Complete results and recap of the BPAA US 

Women’s Open in next week’s edition. Plus pictures 

from the televised finals held on the streets of Reno. 

The seven-time PBA Player 

of the Year became the first 

two-time winner this season 

by defeating Hugh Miller of 

Seattle, 248-231, in the championship 

match. 

“A lot of my matches today 

were closer than they looked,” 

said Williams, who was the 

2010 PBA Senior Rookie of 

the Year. “It wasn’t all smooth 

sailing because I had a couple 

of matches that came down to 

the 10th frame. But I did what I 

had to do to win.” 

Williams, who won the 

Senior Don Carter Memorial 

earlier this season, captured 

his fourth career Senior Tour 

title to go along with his PBA 

Tour career-leading 47 titles. 

He also improved on seventh 

and 17th-place finishes in his 

previous two Senior Northern 

California Classic appearances. 

“The first game I bowled 

in match play I shot 194 and 

missed the pocket one time 

so I had to go to another ball 

to get a better reaction on the 

backend,” said Williams, who 

won a total of four matches 

Wednesday. “I had one open 

and don’t think I missed the

member of the Warrior Transition 

Unit was spinning and 

curving his ball down the lane. 

That’s what can happen 

after getting pointers from 

professional bowler Jeff Carter, 

who has rolled 108 perfect 

games and holds the United 

States Bowling Congress highest 

league-average record of 

261.74. 

“[Carter] was outstanding,” 

Nwoford said. “He taught me 

how to do it.” 

A collection of the top 

professionals in the sport were 

on hand Saturday to teach 

Soldiers from the WTU and 

their families the art of bowling. 

In groups of 15, a total of 

60 Soldiers were given twohour 

lessons from the team of 

veteran bowlers at no charge. 

“It’s an honor; it’s kind of 

cool to have the stars in here,” 

said Mike Sinek, manager of 

The Lanes, Fort Meade. “It’s 

really great to do something for 

the Soldiers and their families.” 

Sinek developed the idea of 

an instructional event for WTU 


Hulsenberg 

preps for U.S. 

Women’s Open 

title defense 

ARLINGTON — A year 

after winning Bowling’s U.S. 

Women’s Open in front of a 

world-record crowd at one 

of the most unique venues 

in bowling history, Leanne 

Hulsenberg of Roseville, Calif., 

is ready to take on this year’s 

unique challenge - the outdoor 

finals. 

Hulsenberg, who last year 

defeated Kelly Kulick, 218-183, 

on specially constructed lanes 

at the 50-yard-line of Cowboys 

Stadium, will headline a field 

of more than 200 of the top 

female bowlers in the world 

competing in the 2012 U.S. 

Women’s Open at the National 

Bowling Stadium in Reno, Nev., 

starting last Friday. 

The finals of the event will 

be taped for broadcast on lanes 

constructed outside on Virginia 

Street in downtown Reno under 

the famous Reno Arch. It’s the 

first time a women’s bowling 

event in the United States will 

be conducted outside. 

“I got acclimated to Cowboys 

Stadium quickly, and it 

didn’t feel so ominous though 

it was such a big place,” said 

Hulsenberg, whose win last 

year was before a crowd of 

8,017 fans - a bowling attendance 

record. “I was surprised 

I felt comfortable there. We 

were there all morning, and 

that helped. But being outside 

will be totally different, I don’t 

even picture it yet. For anyone 

who makes it to the finals, it’s 

going to be different.” 

Another thing Hulsenberg is 

looking forward to in her title 

defense is the 

proximity of the event to 

her home. Roseville, where the 

Team USA member calls home, 

is only about a two-hour drive 

from Reno. 

“I get excited to bowl any 

tournament, and to be defending 

champion is pretty cool,” 

said Hulsenberg, a 28-time 

professional champion. “The 

best part is that it is two hours 

from my home. My family is 

coming, a lot of friends and a 

lot of the juniors that I coach. 

Hopefully, I can make them 

proud.”

By Leisha Murr 

This week I’ve been busy 

making all of my flight and 

hotel reservations for the Scentsy 

convention I will be attending 

at the end of next month. I’ve 

been trying to get organized and 

make sure I have everything 

taken care of because I have a 

busy couple of weeks coming 

up and don’t want to have to 

worry about anything. We bowl 

women’s state tournament this 

weekend and then on Tuesday 

I leave for Reno to bowl the 

Women’s Championships. 

I like bowling tournaments 

towards the end of the event 

because you know going in what 

the scores are like and what 

you’ll need to shoot to take over 

the lead. We are bowling the last 

weekend for state, and I think 

nationals has less than two 

weeks left after we bowl. This 

week, most of the women in the 

Diamond and scratch division 

are bowling because they are in 

Reno for the Women’s US Open 

which started today and ends on 

Wednesday. You can watch live 

on bowl.com this week and the 

outdoor finals under the Reno 

arch will air July 3rd on ESPN. 

So after all of the ladies I call 

the “Superstars” bowl this week 

in Reno, we should know who 

is going to win in the scratch 

standings for sure and most 

likely the Diamond division

as well. There is still a chance 

someone or team (hopefully 

from our group) could take the 

lead in the Diamond division 

because it includes 100% 

handicap of 220 per person. It 

would be amazing to come out 

on top at the biggest women’s 

event we have. 

After I bowl in Reno, I’m 

going to stop off in Vegas for a 

few days before I come home. 

You’d think I could get my 

gambling fix in the time I’m in 

Reno, but I really just don’t like 

it there. I haven’t found a casino 

I enjoy gambling in or even 

pit bosses that were friendly. 

Plus, the hotels on the strip in 

Vegas are so much nicer than 

anything you can find in Reno. 

I’m excited to get to stay in one 

of the hotels on the strip that I 

haven’t been in before this trip. 

There are so many great choices. 

I’ve stayed at Treasure Island, 

Caesars, Bally’s, Bellagio, Palms, 

Mandalay Bay, Luxor, and 

unfortunately the Excalibur. On 

day I hope I can say I’ve stayed 

in them all! 

I typically don’t get to stay on 

the strip when I’m in Las Vegas 

because we are usually there for 

a bowling tournament and stay 

at the host casino. The ones I 

have stayed at are the Orleans, 

Gold Coast, South Point, Sam’s 

Town, Texas Station, and Sunset

Th e Bowling News 

FOUNDED AND PUBLISHED BY JOE GENNARO FROM 1956-2009 

Station. All of the bowling centers 

in Vegas are inside casinos 

off the strip. There is even a 

Lucky Strikes inside the Rio. 

Can you imagine having to drag 

bowling balls through a casino 

each week to get to league to 

bowl? I’m sure bowling league 

each week ends up costing the 

bowlers more than just the 

league fees depending on how 

many slot machines are between 

the lanes and the car. 

Anyway, I guess I gambled 

more than normal on my last 

bowling trip because I got a 

call from a casino host this 

afternoon wanting to offer me a 

room and some food credits to 

come back. So, staying off of the 

strip does have its advantages; 

you don’t have to be a highroller 

to get comps at the smaller 

properties. 

Last week I mentioned I had 

started reading the Shades of 

Grey series. Well, I’m now half 

way finished with the third and 

final book. The books probably 

need to be an NC-17 rating, not 

just R. It has definitely been an 

education into, we will say, an 

alternative lifestyle of intimate 

relations. But as the books go 

on, you begin to understand and 

feel for the controlling man and 

why he is the way he is. There 

is some great banter between 

the couple and I can’t wait to 

see how it all ends. Warning: 

These books are definitely NOT 

for the modest reader, you might 

be shocked or even appalled that 

I’ve enjoyed reading them.

EDWARDS’ SENIOR MASTERS 

VICTORY THROWS PBA 

SENIOR PLAYER OF YEAR 

RACE INTO THREE-WAY TIE 

Mike Edwards’ 701-691 

victory over Hugh Miller to 

lock up his first PBA Senior 

Tour title – and first major – in 

the USBC Senior Masters on 

June 15 at South Point Bowling 

Center in Las Vegas threw both 

the PBA Senior Tour Player of 

the Year and Rookie of the Year 

races into a tizzy heading into 

the final three events of the 

2012 season. 

Edwards, who turned 50 

in December, ran the table in 

the Senior Masters, posting a 

7-0 record in the three-game, 

double-elimination match play 

event in becoming the first 

Native American to win a PBA 

Senior Tour title. The victory 

came a week after Edwards 

finished third in the Etonic 

PBA Senior U.S. Open in his 

debut as a senior player, and 

18 years after winning his only 

PBA Tour title in the 1994 PBA 

IOF Bowling for Miracles Open 

in Toronto, Ontario. 

The win also earned 

Edwards 24 points in the PBA 

Senior Player of the Year race. 

Combined with the eight points 

he earned for his third-place 

finish in the Senior U.S. Open, 

he now has 32 points and he’s 

tied for No. 1 on that list with 

PBA Hall of Famer Walter Ray 

Williams Jr. and fellow Senior 

Tour “rookie” Amleto Monacelli, 

who mirrored Edwards’ 

finishes in the season’s two 

senior majors: Monacelli won 

the Senior U.S. Open and 

finished third in the Senior 

Masters for his 32 points. 

Trailing Williams, Monacelli 

and Edwards in the POY points 

chase are rookies Bob Learn Jr. 

(18 points) and Lennie Boresch 

Jr. (16), PBA Hall of Famer 

Johnny Petraglia (16), and Ron 

Profitt and Miller (12 each). 

Petraglia is currently sidelined, 

recovering from shoulder 

surgery. 

For the final three Senior 

Tour tournaments (Brentwood, 

Calif., June 17-20; Hammond, 

Ind., Aug. 6-9, and Decatur, Ill., 

Aug. 11-14), 16 Player of the 

Year points will be awarded to 

the winners, eight points for 

second place, four for third and 

two for fourth. 

Senior Tour Rookie of the 

Year will be elected by PBA 

members and the bowling 

media. In addition to Edwards 

and Monacelli, Boresch and 

Learn are also first-year title 

winners.

Junior Gold sets tournament, 

membership records 

ARLINGTON —- A record 

number of youth bowlers will 

take part in the North Pointe 

Junior Gold Championships 

next month in Indianapolis, 

and the United States Bowling 

Congress Junior Gold program 

already has established a 

membership record for the 

2011-12 season. 

The 2012 North Pointe 


presented by Brunswick has 

sold 2,088 spots, shattering the 

previous record of 1,980 set in 

2009, also in Indianapolis. It is 

a 14-percent increase over last 

year’s mark of 1,821 entries. 

The USBC Junior Gold 

program has more than 4,000 

members for the first time in 

the program’s 15-year history, 

a 12-percent increase over last 

season’s total, also a record. 

The North Pointe Junior 

Gold Championships was created 

by combining the Bowling 

Proprietors’ of America North 

Pointe High School Championships 

and the USBC Junior 

Gold Championships into one 

national singles championship 

event with four divisions - U20 

boys, U20 girls, U15 boys, U15 

girls. 

Chad Murphy, International 

Bowling Campus Managing 

Director of Youth Development, 

said while the change 

was dramatic, it allowed for a 

scholarship pool of $250,000 

and opened the field to more 

youth bowlers. More than 300 

participants for this year’s 

North Pointe Junior Gold 

Championships qualified in the 

new U15 division. 

“The folks who were passionate 

about both events have 

Lane Laughter 

supported this new event in 

an unbelievable way,” Murphy 

said. “Our goal is to create 

lifelong bowlers and, because 

of their support, a larger group 

of kids will benefit. In Indianapolis 

this summer, we’ll get 

to celebrate this success when 

we crown four champions and 

build the foundation for Junior 

Team USA. It has been exciting 

and fun to see it all come 

together.” 

This season, 507 centers 

held 836 qualifiers, up from the 

337 centers that held qualifiers 

last season. Murphy said the 

support of tournament coordinators 

throughout the country 

also was a key factor to the 

record-setting numbers. 

“Their dedication and belief 

in what we are doing, along 

with the work of the IBC Youth 

Development team and the 

support of North Pointe Insurance 

and Brunswick, has only 

strengthened the Junior Gold 

program,” Murphy said. The 

first Junior Gold tournament, 

then called the USA Junior 

Gold National Bowling Championships, 

was held in 1998 at 

the National Bowling Stadium 

in Reno, Nev., and drew 538 

participants. 

The 2012 North Pointe 


will be held July 14-20 at 

Woodland Bowl, Western Bowl 

and Expo Bowl in Indianapolis. 

In addition to the $250,000 

scholarship pool, participants 

also will be vying for spots on 

Junior Team USA.

and the Junior Gold 

program.

Do You Remember?

STORM 2012 SOLDIER 


members after seeing the success 

of the Soldier and Family 

Assistance Center therapeutic 

bowling program held every 

Tuesday at the Lanes. 

“It gets them out here with 

their families; it gives them another 

activity that they can do,” 

SFAC director Mark Stoessel 

said of the sport’s therapeutic 

benefits. “It can help them heal 

and get their mind off their 

injuries.” 

The original idea of bowling 

helping soldiers began with 

bowling writer Jim Goodwin 

emailing some bowling friends 

how golf had run a similar 

event. Storm President Dave 

Symes expressed his support 

and encouraged his marketing 

team to develop a plan. Storm 

Marketing Director Roger 

Noordhoek and Sinek went to 

work. 

Sinek and members of the 

SFAC began planning for the 

unique event. 

“This has never been done 

Staff Sgt. Tina Oden of the Warrior Transition Unit looks for a strike 

at the Lanes during an instructional event taught by professional 

bowlers Saturday afternoon. Storm Products, a manufacturer of 

bowling equipment, brought in top-level instructors to teach the 

wounded warriors. Photo by Nate Pesce 

in the bowling industry,” Sinek 

said. “It’s been done with golf, 

but never with bowling.” 

“I know after talking to 

everyone who participated this 

was a very moving experience, 

and one that I believe nobody 

will forget,” said Noordhoek. 

While the company 

participates in many charity 

events, Storm’s Vice President 

of Operations Corbet Austin 

said the company jumped 

at the opportunity to work 

with the wounded warriors. 

Coaches traveled from all over 

the country, including Utah, 

Georgia, Illinois and Florida, to 

participate. 

“We want to help, we want 

to give back,” Austin said. “You 

don’t get to share your appreciation 

enough with the military, 

I think. ... Just talking to some 

of them and some of the stories 

they have, it’s like ‘Wow. You 

guys have been through some 

really tough things.’ 

“And here they are, they 

have a smile on their face. 

They’re dedicated, and they 

serve our country to keep us 

safe. If we can give back a little 

bit just to show them a tiny bit 

of appreciation, which is not 

much compared to what they 

have to go through, hey, we’re 

in.” 

The event staff featured 

Randy Pederson, a member of 

the PBA Hall of Fame with 13 

PBA titles who is now an ESPN 

analyst; Hank Boomershine, 

a USBC Gold Level certified 

coach; and several Storm team 

members, including USBC Hall 

of Famer Bob Hart, Jeff Carter, 

Dale Niemela, Mike Luongo, 

Mickey Luongo, Louie Wemett, 

Jeff Baker and Chris Johnson. 

“These are the TV guys 

coming out to teach you how 

to bowl,” said Sgt. 1st Class 

Denny Phillips of the WTU. 

“These are professionals. That’s 

big.” 

Through video cameras and 

one-on-one instruction, coaches 

worked with members of the 

WTU and their families on 

crafting their bowling skills. 

For a few members such as 

Phillips, Saturday was their 

first attempt at bowling. 

“I wanted to learn,” Phillips 

said. “I just decided to come 

Geoff Martin was front and 

center at Plano Super Bowl last 

week as he dominated scoring 

with a thundering 300-257-279 

= 836 Double Uppers session. 

He finished his 4 game session 

with a 1069. 

Cindy Mann headed the ladies 

scoring parade with a blue-ribbon 

226-213-227 = 666 Friday Funsters 

series. 

Tam Wasson shared highgame 

honors with Martin as 

each recorded award-winning 

12-baggers. Ronnie Rhodes took 

runner-up honors with a near 

perfect 298 single. 

HONOR ROLL

Mark Plagens 257-730, Sybil Williams 

out and give it a try, and I 

wound up liking it. I really like 

it.” 

In addition to lessons, each 

member of the WTU was given 

custom bowling balls and bags 

from Storm and shoes from 

Dexter. 

Phillips, who had only 

previously visited the bowling 

alley to pick up some french 

fries, went from not knowing 

what bowling shoes were to 

owning a pair. 

Nwofor said he’s ditching 

the bowling alley’s balls for his 

new, custom tie-dyed one. 

Both Phillips and Nwofor 

said they appreciated Storm 

for bringing the top-level 

instructors. 

“I don’t know much about 

bowling and I never really 

heard of Storm, but they put 

on a show like this — this 

is unheard of,” Phillips said. 

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime 

kind of thing.”

Oh to be a teenager again! 

My daughter recently turned 14 

(I know I can’t believe it either) 

and it’s really funny to see the 

evolution of a child turning 

into an adult. 

The other day she had a 

couple of friends spend the 

night and they stayed up till 

2 am singing karaoke. Consequently 

I stayed up till 2 AM 

tossing and turning until they 

finished singing karaoke, but 

I digress. The next day I came 

walking through the kitchen 

and they are calmly sitting 

around the breakfast table 

drinking glasses of Orange 

Crush. 

I literally had to do a double 

take because it looked like 

three adults sitting there drinking 

coffee in the morning and 

discussing current events or 

the day’s activities. The comical 

part of the situation was 

that it was 3 PM and they had 

just woken up, so it really was 

like their morning cup of soda. 

Oh to be a teenager again! 

There are a lot of really 

good uses for Facebook these 

days. From communicating a 

bowling tournament to simply 

keeping up with long lost 

friends and relatives, Facebook 

has become so popular that 

you can reach a large amount 

of people about anything. 

What Facebook is not good 

for is counseling. It seems 

every day I read a post about 

someone’s personal troubles 

about their life, job, or something 

else that not all 500 

people who you are friends 

with need to know about. I 

know it may be therapeutic at 

the time to voice your pain, 

but before you post something 

think about what you would 

think if someone else wrote 

it. After all Facebook isn’t The 

Jerry Springer Show. 

Obviously I’m being slightly 

hypocritical because I basically 

do the same thing in this 

article in The Bowling News 

every week, but at least I get 

paid for it! 

Normally when a sporting 

season comes to an end and 

a champion is crowned I will 

watch the conclusion and celebration 

of the team’s victory 

even if I don’t care for them. 

Watching the New York 

Giants celebrate is painful for a 

Cowboy fan, but you can still 

get some good feelings from 

watching it. However, I did not 

feel this way about the Miami 

Heat winning the NBA Championship 

last week. 

I’m sure a small part of it 

was that they beat my second 

favorite team, but it was more 

about not wanting to see 

everything that’s wrong with 

professional sports (the Miami 

Heat) become successful, and 

potentially become the model 

of how to win a title. 

Unfortunately I think the 

Dallas Mavericks are looking at 

it the same way and are trying 

to build themselves up with 

a couple of huge free agent 

signings so they can have their 

big three. 

I miss the days of drafting a 

player and knowing that player 

will be on a team for the next 

ten years. Now they sign a 

three year deal and if it’s not a 

good location they are simply 

serving time in that city until 

they can become a free agent 

and move. The players take the 

blame for their lack of loyalty, 

but being a Pittsburgh Pirate or 

Milwaukee Buck is not going 

to get you on Sports Center 

and into the public eye, which 

ultimately lands you money. 

It’s funny how it always seems 

to come back to money! 

Now that the NBA Season is 

over I thought I would briefly 

review the red hot Dacetronamous’ 

picks for the 2011-12 

Paul Henderson’s first-rate 

258-255-247 = 760 Fast Lane Trio 

session ended as the number-one 

set of the week at Forum Bowl. 

Diana Jessie, Henderson’s 

league mate, fronted distaff 

scoring with an outstanding 

183-224-299 = 706 set. She then 

finished her 4 game set with a 

nice 952 series. 

HONOR ROLL 

Robair Ross (9 pin) 278-811, Dottie 

Robbins (9 pin) 266-701, Duane Bates 

(4 games, no tap) 300-1095, Jeanette 

Manzano (4 games, no tap) 267-967, 

Clifton Carrington 206-582, Annie 

NBA Season. 

Out of five things that 

Dacestronamous thought would 

happen forty percent came 

true. I picked that Dwight 

Howard would stay with the 

Orlando Magic (and regret 

every second of it). I am not 

sure about the second part, but 

the first part was true. 

I also picked the LA Clippers 

to make the playoffs and win 

a game. They even went on 

and won a series before getting 

swept by San Antonio in the 

second round. I am going to 

take a half credit for picking 

the OKC Thunder to win the 

NBA Finals over the Chicago 

Bulls. The Thunder at least got 

to the finals, but Derrick Rose’s 

injury basically gave the Heat a 

cakewalk to the finals. 

Where I missed the biggest 

was I thought that San Antonio 

would be terrible and forced 

to rebuild, however they went 

the opposite direction and were 

the best team in basketball and 

went deep into the playoffs. 

Finally I predicted that after 

not winning for a second year 

in a row that the Heat would 

trade Chris Bosh and blow 

up the “Big Three”, but since 

they won I don’t think that is 

going to happen now. I would 

call that fifty percent correct 

in predictions. Now if I can 

consistently pick sixty percent 

winners I’m moving to Vegas!
