Shenaniganz<br />

making<br />

transition to<br />

league bowling<br />

By Emil Williams Jr.<br />

Staff Writer<br />

Laser tag. Check. Arcade.<br />

Check. Black light mini-golf.<br />

Check. Indoor go-karts. Check.<br />

All these items are what you<br />

may find at an amusement<br />

park, but these attractions can<br />

all be found at Shenaniganz.<br />

Shenaniganz, which opened in<br />

December of 2008, is a Family-fun<br />

Entertainment center in<br />

Rockwall, Texas that includes<br />

the aforementioned amenities<br />

as well as Rozie’s Grill, a fullservice<br />

restaurant, rock climbing,<br />

billiards, shuffleboard and<br />

bowling. But it’s the bowling<br />

that has gone full-circle amidst<br />

all the fun.<br />

Shenaniganz is owned by<br />

the Ripp family and run by the<br />

three oldest brothers who serve<br />

as managing partners. Before<br />

opening Shenaniganz, the Ripp<br />

family researched some of the<br />

best bowling/entertainment<br />

venues across the country<br />

before deciding to open their<br />

business. One of those brothers<br />

is Parker Coddington, who has<br />

always remembered his father’s<br />

words.<br />

“Our dad is a physician<br />

and he always preached to us<br />

about working for yourself,”<br />

Coddington said. “Our family<br />

is very competitive with<br />

everything including games, so<br />

we wanted to open a business<br />

where family and fun would be<br />

included.”<br />

Coddington didn’t have a<br />

lot of experience within the<br />

bowling industry, but knew the<br />

center was missing something.<br />

It wasn’t long before he decided<br />

to take on the challenge of<br />

adding league bowling to what<br />

is not your typical bowling<br />

center. However, there were<br />

reasons why the family waited<br />

before adding leagues.<br />

“First of all our experience<br />

was very limited,” Coddington<br />

said. “We didn’t know much<br />

about the industry and we<br />

wanted to wait, get our feet<br />

wet, and gain some experience<br />

before we felt the time was<br />

right to introduce league bowling.<br />

We wanted to do it the<br />

right way. Our first sanctioned<br />

Chris Castro<br />

This week’s high man is<br />

Chris Castro with a 277-269-<br />

289 for an 835 series at AMF<br />

Garland Lanes. Chris has managed<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Bowling</strong> Shops Pros<br />

shop at AMF Garland for the<br />

last 5 years. He is also married<br />

to Tonjah, last week’s women’s’<br />

Spotlight, so good bowling<br />

and lots of strikes runs in this<br />

family.<br />

What is your high series? 868<br />

at AMF Desoto, I have shot 30<br />

800’s and have 9 this season.<br />

How many 300’s have you<br />

bowled? 63<br />

Thoughts on your big night?<br />

I was actually a little tired but<br />

really focused. I bowl in this<br />

Friday league with my wife,<br />

so I know that I need to bowl<br />

good. I owe a lot of the credit<br />

for my success to her; she is<br />

very supportive of my bowling.<br />

I need to get her out there<br />

bowling more tournaments.<br />

What ball did you throw?<br />

<strong>The</strong> Storm Reign Supreme, this<br />

has been my go-to ball, and it<br />

helps to be on the Storm staff.<br />

It is a very predictable ball that<br />

is easy to read; I have more<br />

confidence in that ball than<br />

any ball I throw.<br />

Who drills your balls? I do,<br />

I have been in the Pro Shop<br />

business for almost 20 years, I<br />

manage the pro shop at AMF<br />

Garland<br />

What is your all-time<br />

favorite bowling ball? <strong>The</strong> Storm<br />

El Nino, that was the ball I shot<br />

the 868 with. I actually got the<br />

ball from Kelly Ray, he didn’t<br />

like it, so I slugged the thumb<br />

and took it from there.<br />

What is your average in this<br />

league? 241<br />

What is your all-time high<br />

average? High book average is<br />

235 at AMF Desoto in 1998.<br />

How long have you been<br />

bowling? Since I was 14 and I’m<br />

40 now, so quite a few years.<br />

My mom and dad were big<br />

bowlers; my mother actually<br />

had the high female series in<br />

Japan in the 60’s with a 781.<br />

My dad was in the military and<br />

I was born in Japan.<br />

Who is your favorite pro<br />

bowler? I would have to go with<br />

Jason Couch, I love the way he<br />

throws the ball.<br />

Most memorable bowling<br />

moment? When I won my first<br />

Junior tournament in Virginia,<br />

it was a 5-day event that was<br />

held in five different houses.<br />

I was so nervous in the final<br />

match, you could hear my<br />

knees knocking, I had to strike<br />

in the tenth to win the match,<br />

THE BOWLING NEWS | Thursday, December 16, 2010 | Page 3<br />

and I did, but I was so nervous<br />

I’m not sure how I did.<br />

Chris’s tip of the week: Make<br />

sure that you have a nice loose<br />

arm-swing. <strong>The</strong> key is to make<br />

sure that the ball comes off<br />

your hand free and easy. If it<br />

does you will see the ball roll<br />

much better and have much<br />

O’NEILL GAINS THIRD<br />

Continued from Page 1<br />

been O’Neill’s strong suit.<br />

In fact, it took him a little<br />

over four years and a dozen<br />

unsuccessful television<br />

appearances before his<br />

breakthrough victory in the<br />

2009 Chameleon Championship<br />

in Allen Park, MI.<br />

“When I make a TV show<br />

now, I have a better idea of<br />

what to expect,” O’Neill said.<br />

“Today I knew the other guys<br />

were going to try to hook the<br />

lanes a lot, so I decided to do<br />

just the opposite, and it wound<br />

up perfect.<br />

“When your opponents give<br />

you an opening, you have to<br />

put them on their heels. You<br />

have to dig deep and throw<br />

a double, and not let them get<br />

back into the match. That’s<br />

something I wasn’t able to do<br />

before. I’d get too excited and<br />

throw the ball through the<br />

break point and leave a 2-8-10.<br />

So I’ve learned to gear down,<br />

take a deep breath.<br />

“It was a matter of getting<br />

used to the TV environment,”<br />

he said. “Before, I’d wonder<br />

if it was going to be my<br />

last show, that I had to win<br />

because I might never make<br />

another telecast. But you can’t<br />

bowl like that. Now I figure<br />

I’ll have 100 more times like<br />

this. I bowl a lot smarter.<br />

Getting that first title is huge.<br />

Even a guy like Pete (Weber),<br />

who has a million titles, has<br />

struggled of late. No matter<br />

where you are in your career,<br />

it’s going to happen.<br />

“A year ago I had no titles<br />

and I kept putting pressure<br />

on myself,” O’Neill continued.<br />

“Now I have three. It’s pretty<br />

cool. But the one I want<br />

to win is the PBA World<br />

Championship. Everyone wants<br />

to win majors, and winning<br />

that one would put me in a<br />

good place in the Player of the<br />

Year race.<br />

“Player of the Year is a<br />

huge goal for me, especially<br />

after coming so close last year.<br />

Chris Barnes and Tommy<br />

Jones actually came up with<br />

a nickname for me last year:<br />

“Nice Run.” <strong>The</strong>y called me<br />

that for about six months, so<br />

I need to put that nickname to<br />

rest.”<br />

During the World Series<br />

of <strong>Bowling</strong>, O’Neill qualified<br />

among the top 16 for match<br />

play in four of the five “animal<br />

pattern” segments, and earned<br />

the No. 1 stepladder position for<br />

the PBA World Championship<br />

finals which will be televised<br />

live on ESPN2 and ESPN on<br />

Jan. 14, 15 and 16 from South<br />

Point <strong>Bowling</strong> Center. He also<br />

qualified for the stepladder finals<br />

in the Scorpion Championship,<br />

which airs on ESPN on Dec. 19,<br />

and as a member of the United<br />

States team for the USA vs. <strong>The</strong><br />

World telecast on Jan. 9.<br />

Sunset view from restaurant overlooking San Jose.<br />

Costa Rica’s beautiful,<br />

but a bit scary<br />

Editor’ Note: Former<br />

<strong>Bowling</strong> <strong>News</strong> feature editor<br />

Jim Woodruff recently moved to<br />

Costa Rica to live with his son<br />

Kenny and granddaugher Leigh<br />

Ann, 25. Here, he tells of his<br />

early experiences and thoughts<br />

about his new Central America<br />

home.<br />

By Jim Woodruff<br />

My recent trip to Costa Rica<br />

gave me the biggest scare of<br />

my life, or awfully close to it.<br />

Kenny, his daughter Leigh<br />

Ann and I had a flight to San<br />

Jose at 4 p.m. on a Sunday<br />

afternoon. We arrived at D-FW<br />

in plenty of time. But there was<br />

a check-in baggage problem.<br />

Kenny thought he had<br />

plenty of time until he realized<br />

FREE<br />

he only had 35<br />

ninutes or so. It<br />

was panic time.<br />

Kenny had to<br />

run with a large<br />

bag to turn in his<br />

rent car and go<br />

through security.<br />

He probably had Jim Woodruff<br />

never run that<br />

far, that fast, there was no<br />

way he was going to make it, I<br />

thought.<br />

Meanwhile, I had to board,<br />

because of the baggage woes,<br />

Leigh Ann could not board<br />

without Kenny.<br />

It was nearing take-off, and<br />

Leigh Ann and Kenny were not<br />

there, She was told the plane<br />

waits for nobody. Only seconds<br />

were left.<br />

I could imagine what I<br />

would do if I went to Costa<br />

Rica by myself. What could I<br />

possibly do?<br />

But I was saved by the bell.<br />

Kenny miraculously made it<br />

seconds before they closed the<br />

door. I will never know how he<br />

did it.<br />

It was the worst<br />

predicament I have ever been<br />

involved in. i wanted my<br />

mommy.<br />

I figured things could not<br />

get worse, but they did,a week<br />

later, several people not too<br />

far from us were killed in a<br />

mudslide. <strong>The</strong>y had been told<br />

to get the hell out of there, but<br />

they refused to leave, the heavy<br />

rains messed up our TV and<br />

electricity.<br />

Things are getting much<br />

better. You can’t imagine the<br />

majestic beauty of San Jose<br />

with the clouds resting on the<br />

mountain tops.<br />

Everything is so green with<br />

picture post card card beauty.<br />

Traffic is unbelievable, all<br />

the streets are narrow with an<br />

abundance of pot-holes, all the<br />

drivers honk all the time, at<br />

what I will never know. You<br />

could not pay me enough to try<br />

to drive here.<br />

It is amazing how few<br />

accidents they have. Very few,<br />

and there are about as many<br />

motorcycles as cars.<br />

<strong>The</strong>ir malls are much like<br />

ours. Except they are busier.<br />

What really catches your<br />

eye, except for the beauty of<br />

the place, is that each shop<br />

provides its own security, and<br />

each guard has his own gun.<br />

Loaded, and I would bet he<br />

knows how to use it.<br />

SHENANIGANZ MAKING<br />

Continued from Page 1<br />

league began in February.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> family knew they<br />

needed someone to help them<br />

create their league base and<br />

help them through the transition<br />

period. <strong>The</strong>y decided to<br />

partner with Randy Harris.<br />

Harris who brings over 35<br />

years of bowling experience<br />

in the Dallas/ Fort Worth area<br />

to his new position as league<br />

director for Shenaniganz, and<br />

has spent many valuable years<br />

as a league director for AMF.<br />

Harris has several goals in<br />

mind for the league program at<br />

Shenaniganz, beginning with<br />

the youth program which is<br />

very important.<br />

“We definitely want to get<br />

our youth program up and<br />

running,” Harris said. “<strong>The</strong><br />

youth bowlers will be the next<br />

adult bowlers. <strong>The</strong> youth are<br />

very excited, and we also are<br />

looking at the possibility of<br />

holding high school bowling<br />

matches here as well.”<br />

To get a feel for how their<br />

efforts would take shape,<br />

Shenaniganz have and will<br />

continue to host small tournaments<br />

to gauge what their<br />

bowlers want and need. <strong>The</strong>y<br />

held a nine-pin no-tap tournament<br />

during Thanksgiving<br />

and also plan to hold a scratch<br />

marathon tournament, youth<br />

10 YEARS AGO<br />

Chris “Real Deal” Johnson was high again at Showplace<br />

Garland with an 827….Jimmy “Teresa’s man” Carter ruled the<br />

roost at DC West with 820….Al Crandall 811 at AMF Hurst…Terry<br />

Richey somehow shoots 677 at Bigtown….<br />

scholarship tournament,<br />

one-ball tournament, a senior<br />

tournament and a ladies<br />

tournament. By September,<br />

Harris would like to have six<br />

to eight leagues including<br />

youth, scratch, mixed, men and<br />

women.<br />

“We are in the process of<br />

hosting a couple tournaments,”<br />

said Harris, who is also<br />

looking to start adult leagues<br />

during “primetime”. We want<br />

to get regular bowlers and<br />

experienced league bowlers in<br />

the building to see the center<br />

and what it has to offer. I<br />

would like to have 400 league<br />

bowlers next season.”<br />

Along with the many<br />

tournaments on-deck, they<br />

are also looking to build short<br />

season, small leagues that may<br />

carry over into the summer<br />

months to gauge participation.<br />

And with the closing of<br />

Big Town and Jupiter near<br />

Rockwall, Texas, the needs<br />

of league bowlers have risen<br />

and Shenaniganz is open for<br />

business.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y are also looking<br />

at the possibility of several<br />

benefit packages and promotions<br />

for league bowlers.<br />

Coddington has already begun<br />

to incorporate some of their<br />

brainstorming ideas during<br />

Shenaniganz’s Tuesday night<br />

league. In the weeks leading<br />

up to Thanksgiving, bowlers<br />

that rolled strikes in the third,<br />

sixth and ninth frames during<br />

their second game received a<br />

free turkey.<br />

Other potential league<br />

promotions and benefits<br />

include the mystery score<br />

pot, strike pot tickets and the<br />

plinko game. <strong>The</strong>re is also the<br />

possibility of a children’s care<br />

package that may include ride<br />

discounts for children who<br />

come to the center with their<br />

parents during league.<br />

“One of our goals is to<br />

improve the league experience<br />

beyond what you see on the<br />

surface,” Coddington said.<br />

“League bowlers bring their<br />

families along with them. At<br />

Shenaniganz, they have the<br />

opportunity to eat together<br />

if they choose, and there are<br />

other options for the kids while<br />

the parents bowl.”<br />

While the blueprint has<br />

been mapped out, Harris<br />

knows that this will be a work<br />

in progress.<br />

“I am very confident that<br />

we will succeed,” Harris said.<br />

“We must make sure we stay<br />

committed long-term and work<br />

through our commitment. I<br />

have confident that we will<br />

bring in bowlers and it will<br />

take the same effort to retain<br />

them.”

I had not had a chance to<br />

watch him compete so when it<br />

worked out where I was going<br />

to Reno for the PBA Regional<br />

RPI tournament the same<br />

weekend it was a no brainer<br />

that we would divert south for<br />

a couple of extra days.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re were over 80 other<br />

kids competing and by the end<br />

of the 4th round of sudden<br />

death it was down to 3 of the<br />

little wranglers.<br />

In the sudden death portion<br />

the kids had to rope full size<br />

horns from 6 feet away. To<br />

make it more difficult they had<br />

to rope “slick horns” which<br />

means you must rope the horns<br />

only, and not the head.<br />

Cutter nailed it and was<br />

then crowned World Champion.<br />

For his winning he won a<br />

brand new saddle, belt buckle,<br />

vest, ball cap, and several new<br />

ropes.<br />

Since mom and dad are both<br />

champions as well I would assume<br />

we will be watching him<br />

for many years to come.<br />

As I sit here in Las Vegas I<br />

am getting ready for the biggest<br />

tournament of the year for me.<br />

<strong>The</strong> PBA Regional Players<br />

Invitational is the Super Bowl<br />

for the Southwest Region. <strong>The</strong><br />

top 25 point leaders from each<br />

region are invited to the tournament,<br />

and the top 5 receive<br />

airfare and accommodations at<br />

the Sands Regency in Reno as<br />

well as an automatic entry in<br />

to the RPI Tour Exemptions.<br />

<strong>The</strong> way it will work is<br />

seven players who have paid<br />

the extra entry and who finish<br />

in the top 16 will receive the<br />

PBA Tour exemptions.<br />

I feel like I have had a good<br />

year, but I still did not accomplish<br />

my goal of shooting a 300<br />

and getting the coveted PBA<br />

300 ring. A ringing 10 pin in<br />

Colorado for 299 was as close<br />

as I got.<br />

I did reach my goal of finishing<br />

in the top 5, but so far I<br />

have not won a tournament as<br />

a member so I still don’t have<br />

the banner yet.<br />

I would like to congratulate<br />

Chris Hibbitts II for again leading<br />

the RPI and Bowler of the<br />

Year points for the Southwest<br />

Region.<br />

I really think he deserves<br />

the Player of the Year title even<br />

without a win this year. I just<br />

wish I had a vote!<br />

My final topic of 2010 will<br />

be the latest disaster of the<br />

dogs.<br />

Since my neighbor continued<br />

to complain I had to start<br />

keeping the dogs inside. If you<br />

have seen my couch you would<br />

understand just how risky this<br />

is.<br />

Lexi had been doing great<br />

for several days, but just when<br />

we thought we were in the<br />

clear I came home from work<br />

and Lexi decided to have<br />

Christmas a little early.<br />

She ripped open one of the<br />

gifts that my wife searched for<br />

all over town for her friend and<br />

Lexi chewed them up.<br />

I hated to make that phone<br />

call to my wife, but to my<br />

surprise she handled better<br />

than expected.<br />

So we purchased another<br />

metal crate and were going to<br />

try and contain her. On the<br />

third day of escaping from the<br />

crate I decided that I would<br />

completely zip tie and chain<br />

the entire gate.<br />

To my surprise I got home<br />

that day ready to celebrate<br />

victory, but she was right there<br />

at the door to greet me.<br />

She not only escaped, but<br />

she broke the side of the crate<br />

that didn’t even have a door.<br />

I literally have no idea how<br />

to contain her, and have no<br />

idea what the next steps are.<br />

Since this is the final article<br />

of the year I just want to say<br />

how much I have enjoyed<br />

sharing my opinions and<br />

stories with all of you as this<br />

concludes an entire calendar<br />

year of articles.<br />

You may like them or you<br />

may not, but hopefully they are<br />

entertaining.<br />

Of course if you don’t<br />

like them then you probably<br />

aren’t reading this far down<br />

anyway. But I do want to wish<br />

all of you and your families a<br />

happy holiday season, and safe<br />

travels to wherever you may be<br />

heading.<br />

PBA Spare Shots:<br />

New “Arsenal” feature<br />

on ESPN telecasts<br />

explains players’ ball<br />

strategies<br />

<strong>The</strong> Professional Bowlers<br />

Association’s ESPN telecasts<br />

from the World Series of<br />

<strong>Bowling</strong> have unveiled a new<br />

“Arsenal” feature to help viewers<br />

understand players’ bowling<br />

ball selection strategies.<br />

During the practice session<br />

of each PBA Tour telecast, the<br />

name of each bowling ball<br />

model a given player is using<br />

is documented and assigned a<br />

“hook rating number” between<br />

1 and 10, with 10 being the<br />

ball that will hook the most.<br />

During the actual competition,<br />

a graphic will appear for each<br />

player, with the ball he is<br />

currently using and its “hook<br />

rating number” highlighted.<br />

“Reporting on every player’s<br />

bowling ball arsenal and<br />

attaching a hook rating to each<br />

of the balls is one of the most<br />

significant enhancements to<br />

this year’s PBA telecasts,” said<br />

PBA Deputy Commissioner<br />

Tom Clark. “By outlining and<br />

describing the players’ equipment<br />

alternatives, the feature<br />

not only lets the fans at home<br />

inside the players’ bowling<br />

bags, but helps them better<br />

understand the reasons behind<br />

the critical decisions made on<br />

every show.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> “Arsenal” feature also<br />

provides color analyst Randy<br />

Pedersen with a reference point<br />

when a player changes from<br />

an aggressive ball to one that<br />

hooks less, or vice versa, and<br />

makes that transition easier<br />

for a viewer to understand.<br />
