Let’s face it us die hard bowling fans are few and far between, I had a chance last week to talk to a man who bowled almost every night of the week and was a very good bowler. He hasn’t bowled in more than ten years. I asked him why he quit and he said “I just didn’t enjoy it any more.” I’m not quite at that stage yet. I still enjoy the game, my bowling friends, my association and the memories of being “On the Road Again,” as Willie would say. The competition just isn’t as important as it used to be and at my old age I really enjoy my senior league, you know that one I just sub in once in a blue moon. Well, that’s my perspective. Time for a cold one and ESPN Classic. I have several early events recorded for my viewing pleasure. See you on the lanes. wrightdk@hot.rr.com At Killeen Bowlerama Bohannon books 814, McPhail mints 763 KILLEEN – Brian Bohannon’s stellar 814 Sundowners group session lit up the lanes last month at Killeen Bowlerama.

Construction begins at USBC Women’s Championships ARLINGTON — During the next few weeks, The Oncenter Convention Center in Syracuse, N.Y., will be transformed into a state-of-the-art 48-lane bowling facility that will be the home of the 2011 United States Bowling Congress Women’s Championships. On Monday, Feb. 21, crews started bringing in more than 30 truckloads of materials needed to construct the venue, which also includes vendor and office space, a squad room, a locker area and spectator seating. The finished product will be the biggest stage in women’s bowling, and the 2011 Women’s Championships is expected to bring more than 30,000 bowlers to Syracuse during its 88-day run from April 7-July 3. The amount of lumber required for the venue is enough to construct at least five three-bedroom homes, and more than six miles of wiring is required to handle the tournament’s electrical needs. The first piece of the installation process will be the tournament’s custom scoreboards. The scoreboards are comparable to the oversized screens often found in sports venues and arenas across the country, but offer a clearer picture thanks to the latest technology. They feature enhanced graphics with 4.4 trillion colors and streaming video capabilities and make up the world’s largest mobile scoreboard of its kind. The setup also includes a 12 feet by 9 feet, high-definition video display screen over the tournament’s traditional Center Aisle. Construction on the 48 championship lanes was scheduled to begin Feb. 28. The 2011 event marks the second time the tournament will be held in a conventioncenter setting. Prior to last year’s event in El Paso, Texas, the tournament was contested in traditional bowling centers when not held at the National Bowling Stadium in Reno, Nev. (every third year since 1997). The tournament first was held in 1916, and 2011 will be the 92nd year of competition. “The move to the convention-center setting helped boost the prestige and excitement that surrounds the Women’s Championships and really gave the event a championship feel,” said Brian Lewis, USBC Managing Director of Tournaments. “Participants enjoyed the new look in 2010, and we hope to make this year even more memorable.” The Women’s Championships returns to New York state for the first time since 1996. It previously was held in Syracuse in 1940 and 1954 with 1,185 and 4,538 five-player teams, respectively. “On behalf of the Greater Syracuse community, we are Koivuniemi, Dorin-Ballard top World Bowling Tour rankings ARLINGTON — After two events on the new World Bowling Tour presented by the World Tenpin Bowling Association, Finland’s Mika Koivuniemi maintained his lead at the top of the men’s rankings, while Carolyn Dorin- Ballard of the United States moved into the women’s lead. Koivuniemi, who won the season-opening tournament at the Brunswick Ballmaster Open, took third place at the second event of the season, the United States Bowling Congress Masters, and has a total of 85 ranking points. In the stepladder finals of the USBC Masters, which were aired nationally on ESPN, Koivuniemi lost in the semifinals to American Tom Hess, 254-219. Sean Rash of the United States retained his second place position in the rankings with 51 points. Rash finished second to Koivuniemi at the Ballmaster Open and took 20th place at the USBC Masters. Hess, who won the Masters with a 230-206 victory over fellow American Jack Jurek, moved into third place with 50 points, while Chris Barnes of the United States sits in fourth place with 45 points. In the women’s rankings, Dorin-Ballard is the only player who has competed in both events to open the season and has a total of 70 ranking points. She finished second among the women at the Ballmaster Open and then took fourth in the women’s field at the USBC Masters. Finland’s Krista Pollanen, who earned the top ranking points at the Ballmaster Open, is tied for second place with American Kelly Kulick with 50 points. Kulick topped the women’s field at the USBC Masters and finished 29th overall. Liz Johnson of the United States sits in third place with At Pin Center Hewitt hammers 724 CLEBURNE – Alan Hewitt led the high set chase last week at Pin Center Bowl with an estimable256-266-202 = 724 Casino league showing. Stacie Parrish’s stately 169- 181-221 = 571 Farmville outing paced the ladies. HONOR ROLL Larry Luck 252-673, Becky Lee thrilled that the event we’ve been preparing for, for the past five years, is just about here,” said Syracuse Convention & Visitors Bureau President David Holder. “All of our industry partners, ranging from our hotels and restaurants to our attractions and taxicab drivers, are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the 30,000 bowlers and their friends and family.” Sponsors for the 2011 USBC Women’s Championships sponsors include Turning Stone Resort and Casino, official brackets sponsor, Humana, official registration sponsor, Miller Lite and Molson Canadian, official beer sponsors. Supporting sponsors include Storm Bowling Products, Nationwide Insurance, The Oncenter, Syracuse Convention and Visitors Bureau, Caz Limo & Tours, Kegel, official lane maintenance provider, US Steltronic, official scoring system, and Brunswick, official lane provider. 40 points after finishing second among the women at the USBC Masters. The World Bowling Tour is made up of various events around the world throughout the course of 2011. Players earn points based on how they finish in the event and those points will be tabulated throughout the season to determine the top three men and top three women who will be invited to compete in the World Bowling Tour Finals presented by the Professional Bowlers Association. The next stop on the World Bowling Tour is the 68th Lumber Liquidators U.S. Open from Feb. 21-27 in North Brunswick, N.J. The fourth stop of the season is the Brunswick Euro Challenge from March 4-13 in Saint Maximin, France. The Tour continues with the Kuwait Open from March 18-22 in Kuwait City, Kuwait. The fall swing includes a stop in Bangkok, Thailand, from Sept. 24-30 and wraps up with the AMF Australian Masters from Oct. 10-22 in Sydney, Australia.
