Thompson has 

elbow surgery 

for 6th time 

By Jim Woodruff 

One might surmise, with good reason that 

Jimmy Thompson of Austin does not give up 

without a fight. 

Last week, he had his sixth elbow surgery 

in an attempt to salvage his bowling career. 

Before that he gave up a promising professional 

motorcycle racing career because it caused 

problems at home. 

Home for Jimmy was Richardson when 

growing up. He didn’t grow up too much. He is 

only 5-8. 

Thompson has lived in Austin most of his 

life, and is in the pro shop business with Robert 

Lawrence at Interstate. 

Jimmy started racing at age six, and was 

quite good at it. He won a state title in 1979. 

For years the Thompsons traveled across the 

country in order for son Jimmy to race. 

When he reached 16, he was gearing up for a 

Watson claims first NABI title 

at AMF Showplace Euless 

For the second week in 

a row a first time winner 

claimed the NABI title. 

Moranto “Taz” Watson, a 

member since 2008, earned his 

first title with a 258 score in 

the last game of the Shoot-Out 

Finals at the tournament held 

Sept. 26 at AMF Showplace 

Euless. Watson earned $600 for 

his victory. 

Also, for the second week in 

a row, the winners chose not to 

participate in the Progressive 

Pot. There was a Progressive 

Pot carry over of $1,002 into 

the Oct. 3 tournament at AMF 

Hurst. 

Mike Counts finished in 

second with a game of 238. 

He won $672 ($350, plus $322 

from the Progressive Pot). 

Ronnie Allen and Brenda 

Yarbrough took third and 

fourth, respectively, and 

banked $204 ($150, plus $54 

from the Progressive Pot) each. 

Jeremiah Laroe rounded out 

the top five, collecting $125.

The East Texas Open 

wrapped up its fifth year on 

Aug. 1. 

This year’s tournament 

hosted 68 teams, 133 doubles, 

and 255 singles during the two 

week event with bowlers from 

Texas and Oklahoma. 

A prize fund in excess of 

$10,000 was paid out to the 

winners. A special thanks goes 

out to 900 Global for providing 

the tournament with the 

PROFIT bowling balls which 

were given away to a lucky 

bowler during the team squad 

each day. 

Winners of the PROFIT balls 

were Donnie Bumgarner from 

Duncanville, Larry Fewell of 

Fort Worth, Gary Thomas Dallas, 

and Bob Schille of Forney. 

The champions for this 

year’s tournament were Whit’s 

Way from Arlington winning 

the Handicap and Scratch Team 

events rolling a 2678 (2723 

handicap). Members were General 

Whitfield, Ren Johnson, 

Rudy Garcia and Ryan Boroff. 

The Handicap and Scratch

Patton and Steve Graeve 

from Cleburne with a nice 1432 

total.

Th e Bowling News 

By JIM WOODRUFF 

It is with a heavy heart and 

a loss of words that I write this 

column, one of my last with 

The Bowling News. 

I’ve enjoyed my time with 

The Bowling News very much. 

I am moving to Costa Rica in a 

few weeks. I’ve met hundreds 

and hundreds of people during 

my 20 or so years with the 

Bowling News, and I treasure 

those friendships very much. 

Many of those friendships go 

back into the 50s. It was then 

I leaned how easy it was to get 

hooked on bowling. 

I have often wondered what 

my life would have been like 

if I had not met Jack Handcock. 

I met him in the days of the 

bowling boom. 

At the time he was the 

general manager of the recently 

built Circle Bowl. 

He was hosting some sort of 

event and talked fellow Times 

Herald sportswriter Bob Galt 

and I to come. 

Neither of us had ever 

bowled. And we probably never 

would have had it not been for 

Jack and his insisting that we 

come out. Jack also insisted 

that we accept gifts of balls, 

shoes and lockers. 

We felt the least we could 

do is go out and bowl every 

once in a while. 

It led to our getting up a 

Times Herald team. I fell in 

love with the game and have 

been bowling all through the 

years. Galt may have been the 

worst bowler I have ever seen. 

He was a southpaw and a good 

golfer but bowling was not his 

game. 

We became friends with 

Keith Little and he tried to 

teach Bob who lifted the ball 

with his thumb instead of 

fingers. Keith flat out gave up 

on teaching him. Said he was 

beyond repair. 

Another huge reason I got 

into bowling was my wife 

Jodie. 

In my younger days, I was a 

golfing addict. 

I asked her if she would like 

for me to get her a set of clubs 

so she could play with me. She 

wanted no part of it. But later 

when I asked her if she would 

like to join a bowling league, 

she leaped at the opportunity 

and bowled the rest of her life. 

I know I will miss the 

many friends I have cultivated 

through bowling during all 

the years. But there are some 

things in life you need to do 

and, living with my son, I 

think, is one of them. 

I hope The Bowling News

James LeCroy 

This week’s high man is 

James LeCroy with a 268- 

279-300 for an 847 series at 

Brunswick Zone Watauga 

Lanes. James has worked at 

Bell Helicopter for the last 

15 years after retiring from 

General Dynamics. He is in the 

Gearbox Assembly department 

working on the V22 Osprey. 

Where were you born? 

Pampa, Texas in 1943. We 

moved to California in 1955, 

and have only been back to 

Pampa three times. 

What ball did you throw? 

The Ebonite Magic, same ball I 

shot the 804 with. Best carrying 

ball I have had in a long 

while. 

Thoughts on the big series? 

Well my concentration was 

great, stayed down and kept 

my eyes on the target all the 

way through the shot. My 

daughter Kathleen was determined 

to beat me that night, 

but I stayed ahead of her, she 

bowled great and shot 770. I 

struck on 32 of 36 shots, and 

finished the night with 19 

strikes in a row. 

How long do you plan to 

keep bowling? As long as I am 

healthy. I’ve always enjoyed it, 

don’t have the guts to quit. 

What is your all-time 

favorite movie? True Lies, The 

Green Mile and Forrest Gump 

are my favorites. 

Where did you take your best 

vacation? It’s a toss up between 

a trip to London, Ireland and 

Paris, and then a trip to New 

Zealand and Australia. We 

would like to go back there and 

spend a few weeks. 

If you were the commissioner 

of all things bowling for 

a day what would you change? 

I would try to make it more 

interesting for people where we 

could get more bowlers back 

into the sport. I would sure like 

to see more people support the 

local City Tournaments and the 

local associations. We, as directors, 

need to be more assertive 

when we are at the centers, but 

that can be difficult sometimes. 

Favorite hobby besides bowling? 

I do a lot of yard work. I 

really enjoy that. I also like to 

hunt and fish, but it is difficult 

to find the time. 

Catie Jensen 

This week’s high woman 

is Catie Jensen with a 277- 

245-299 for an 821 series at 

Cityview Lanes. Catie works at 

Cook’s Children’s Hospital in 

Fort Worth, in the Education 

department. She has worked 

there for two years. She says 

she’s seen the most rewarding 

moments working there, with 

the strongest most caring 

people. Catie and her father 

Ron and brother Ryan Boroff, 

are now just waiting on mom 

Anita to shoot 800, so the

whole family will have one. 

What is your high series? 

This is my first 800, previous 

high was 781. 

How many 300’s have you 

bowled? Four. 

Thoughts on your big night? 

I have no idea how I shot the

READING RACKS PART II 

I hope you’ve paid a bit 

more attention to racks this 

past month. They can really 

make a big difference in 

whether or not you carry. Let’s 

talk about open and closed 

racks as well as right or left 

facing racks this month. 

Open Racks 

An open rack is one in 

which the three-pin for righthanders 

or the two pin for 

lefties is a little farther laterally 

from the headpin than normal. 

Since this pin and the headpin 

are what the ball must get past 

in order to get to the kingpin 

(the five), having them farther 

apart can be perceived as being 

a good thing. Maybe. Maybe 

not. 

Remember that the five 

takes the eight (nine for a 

lefty). If you shoot an open 

rack, the possibility is that you 

will impact the five differently 

than a normal hit. That will 

cause the five to move differently 

around the deck. Perhaps 

it misses that eight…Uh oh! I 

got robbed! A stone eight! Well, 

not exactly. I remember Ernie 

Schlegel commenting that the 

reason Randy Pederson left 

that infamous arena eight pin 

against him was that Randy 

shot at an open rack. I have 

no idea if Randy did or did not 

shoot an open rack. I just know 

that if the rack is open, it’s 

easier to leave an eight pin. 

If your entry angle into the 

pocket must be flat or close to 

flat because of where the lane 

wants to be played, an open 

rack might be a good thing as 

you’ll have less trouble getting 

the five out. If the house 

carries light and you can get 

there from slightly outside, 

you will be able to play an 

open rack with some success. 

However, if you are forced to 

play from a wide angle with a 

sharp breakpoint, you may or 

may not carry shooting at an 

open rack. The bottom line is if 

you are forced to play an open 

rack, so is everyone else. Leave 

yourself something you can 

spare. Don’t press for a strike if 

it’s iffy about whether the shot 

strikes or splits. This is not one 

of those high risk-high reward 

things. It’s actually just high 

risk. 

Closed Racks 

A rack can also be closed. In 

a closed rack the three-pin and 

the headpin are closer together 

than normal. This would 

obviously make it difficult to 

get to the five. People nearly 

always rerack closed racks for 

that reason. If a rack is closed 

because the headpin is off, then 

a closed rack for one-hander 

will be an open rack for the 

other-hander. 

If you must shoot a closed 

rack (meaning you have used 

Brunswick 

Westcreek Lanes 

3025 Altamesa Blvd., Fort Worth, TX 76133 

817-294-0501 

up your re-rack allowance or 

that the racks aren’t going to 

get any better no matter how 

many times you poke that little 

button), keep in mind that a 

high hit does have a chance to 

carry. It’s rare that you would 

want to be half-pocket as you 

are likely to leave a weak 10. 

I don’t know of a study 

that has been done concerning 

the carry percentage of open 

racks vs. normal racks or 

closed racks vs. normal racks 

or closed racks vs. open racks 

for that matter. The only thing 

you need to do to figure out 

the advantages, disadvantages, 

and angles is to pay attention. 

Figure out what entry angle 

will give you best chance for 

a mark, whether it’s a strike 

or spare, and then roll the ball 

there. 

Abououout Face! 

How do you play a rack 

which faces to the right or 

faces to the left? Actually, how 

do you tell if a rack is facing 

right or left? You cannot tell 

about rack alignment on your 

lane by standing directly in 

line with the pins. The way to 

practice seeing this is to study 

full racks of pins on lanes away 

from you, looking at the racks 

from an angle. 

Think of a rack of pins 

as all being attached to one 

another. A rack that is facing 

to the right (better known as 

a conservative rack) would 

have the pins, as a unit, rotated 

slightly left from the fulcrum 

of the headpin. A rack that is 

facing left is rotated to the right 

from that fulcrum. A rack that 

is facing left acts like an open 

rack and a rack that faces right 

acts like a closed rack. Remember, 

pins may be off spot on 

the first rack by as much as 

¼”. This is not about a legal 

rack. This is about shooting a 

rack that is less than perfect 

because that’s what the bowling 

gods have given you. 

This is obviously not all 

there is to learn about racks 

and pinfall and their interaction. 

The more you watch, the 

more you’ll learn. You can 

also watch how the pins fall 

for other folks. Just be careful 

here, as a different axis rotation 

and tilt will cause the pins 

to behave differently on hits 

that look quite similar. Knowing 

these things about how 

pins fall and what causes them 

to do so is a great competitive 

strategy since it will allow you 

to make better moves faster – a 

staying ahead of the changes 

mentality, always a winner.

Track to debut new 

HP Ball live on pba. 

com’s Xtra Frame 

Track bowling and the 

Professional Bowlers Association 

have teamed up for 

an innovative introduction 

of a revolutionary new high 

performance ball. 

Known for doing the 

unheard of, in 2008 Track 

released its UpRising ball in an 

exclusive party in the Kingpin 

Suite at The Palms in Las

Ever since Lance Armstrong 

won the Tour de France I have 

started seeing people wearing 

the colorful rubber wrist bands 

to show their support for a 

cause. 

Recently I have started seeing 

a lot of bowlers wear them, 

however, they are not wearing 

them for a cause. It seems that 

there is some technology that 

has been developed around the 

bands and they actually serve a 

purpose other than fashion. 

I must say that I’m quite the 

skeptic about this sort of stuff, 

however, I have decided to give 

it a shot and see if it does what 

is says it does. 

The one I am wearing is the 

EFX Silicone Sports Wristband 

that according to the website 

indicates that it will increase 

balance, strength, and flexibility 

and decrease swelling. 

Now anyone who has seen 

me bowl knows that I have a 

horrible habit of falling off of 

shots. If this thing does what 

it says it will do then I might 

become a better bowler. If that 

happens then I will be willing 

to purchase the necklace, 

anklet, and whatever other 

body parts they make them for. 

While we are on the subject 

of fashion I would like to take 

a moment to discuss some 

of the most recent trends 

and fashion errors of today’s 

bowlers. 

The first one that comes 

to mind is the wearing of the 

white belt. Now, I actually 

don’t hate the look. I think 

I’m jealous because they only 

seem to look good on skinny 

people. As a matter of fact, I’m 

guessing that the white belt 

manufacturer stops making 

them after size 36. After all, if 

your belly is going to cover the 

belt, who cares what color it is. 

Another recent fashion is 

the bowling jersey. If you’ve 

not worn one of those then you 

don’t know what you’re missing. 

I’m not sure what they’re 

made of, but I wish I could get 

some sheets made out of the 

same stuff. I have never felt a 

sexier feeling shirt than I did 

when I wore that jersey. 

On to the main fashion 

negative. That would be the 

half shirt. I know it’s not 

intended to be a half shirt, 

but when shirts get dried they 

shrink. Eventually they shrink 

to the point where they don’t 

cover everything. This is where 

the problem begins. 

Most people aren’t interested 

in seeing how much hair you 

have around your navel. That’s 

why I want to share my secret 

with you. It’s called the swing 

test, and I do it before I go 

bowling. 

I stand in front of the mirror

and rare back and act like I am 

firing the ball down the lane, 

and if I see flesh I immediately 

change shirts. Even though 

that shirt fit me the last time 

I wore it, I might have had a 

donut or two since so there is 

no other way to know if it still 

covers everything other than 

performing the swing test. 

Just remember when in 

doubt, upsize, and add an X to 

whatever you’re wearing 

Is anyone else already tired 

of the hype of the Miami Heat? 

They just started training camp 

and they already have cameras 

rolling and showing highlights 

from their scrimmage. 

Obviously Dwayne Wade 

makes me want to stick my 

finger down my throat after 

he cost the Mavericks an NBA 

championship. Lebron James 

is wearing me out with all his 

talk and his belief that he is 

bigger than the game. Finally, 

there’s Chris Bosh. He hasn’t 

done anything to anger me, but 

what’s he done to deserve the 

hype that he’s getting. Maybe 

it’s because he was hidden 

in Canada, but he’s not even 

in my top 10 players in the 

NBA. I can’t wait till this Heat 

experiment turns into complete 

failure.

The Track ball demonstration 

show will feature several

Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour 

players, bowling on a variety of 

lane conditions to highlight the 

performance capabilities and 

versatility of the ball. Track 

Research and Development 

engineers will also be on hand

drilling layouts. Live questions 

will be taken from the Track 

Facebook and Twitter pages,

away every weekday for 10 

weeks after the worldwide 

release date on Nov. 11. 

“We are very excited about 

this ball and this ball release,” 

Figliomeni said. “Track bowling 

has never done anything 

this extreme and to our knowledge 

nothing like this has 

ever been done before in our 

industry. This ball is unique, 

and we needed a unique way 

to introduce it; Xtra Frame is a 

great way to do that.”

Women golden at 

PABCON Women’s 

Championships 

Nation wins singles 

HENDERSON, NV — Team 

USA member Stefanie Nation 

of Grand Prairie, showed off 

her world-champion focus and 

closed with two big games to 

claim the singles gold medal at 

the 2010 Pan American Bowling 

Confederation Women’s 

Championships in suburban 

Las Vegas on Sept. 27. 

Nation finished with games 

of 268 and 245 for a 1,372 

six-game total and edged out 

Venezuela’s Alicia Marcano, 

who posted a 1,369 effort 

at Sunset Station Hotel and 

Casino’s Strike Zone Bowling 

Center. 

Marcano needed two strikes 

in her final frame to claim the 

gold, but left a four-pin on her 

second shot. 

Team USA’s Kelly Kulick 

entered the last game with a 

29-pin advantage over Marcano 

and had a chance to retain her 

Pluhowsky and Kulick claim doubles 

HENDERSON, NV — After a 

frustrating singles performance 

at the 2010 Pan American 

Bowling Confederation 

Women’s Championships, Team 

USA’s Shannon Pluhowsky was 

able to regroup and join singles 

bronze medalist Kelly Kulick in 

a record doubles effort Sept. 28. 

The accomplished left-hander 

shot 1,400 for her six games, 

while Kulick contributed 1,380 

to claim the gold medal with 

a 2,780 total at Sunset Station 

Hotel and Casino’s Strike Zone 

Bowling Center in suburban 

Las Vegas. The previous record 

was 2,621 by Guatemala’s 

Zussie de Machon and Sofia 

Granda at the 2009 PABCON 

Championships in San Juan, 

Puerto Rico. 

Pluhowsky and Kulick 

Team USA wins Team All-Events 

HENDERSON, NV — Shannon 

O’Keefe and her Team 

USA teammates entered the 

2010 Pan American Bowling 

Confederation Women’s Championships 

with their sights set 

on the team gold medal, and 

they accomplished their goal 

at Sunset Station Hotel and 

Casino’s Strike Zone Bowling 

Center in suburban Las Vegas 

Sept. 30. 

The Team USA women 

posted a 6,267 six-game total 

and claimed the coveted title 

for the 13th time in the 15 

years the five-player team event 

has been part of the PABCON 

Women’s Championships. 

After building a significant 

lead through four games, Team 

lead, but a 3-6-9-10 in the 10th 

frame left her with a 1,367 total 

and the bronze medal. 

“There were four or five 

of us in it going into the last 

game, so it was pretty exciting,” 

said Nation, who also 

won singles gold at the 2009 

World Tenpin Bowling Association 

World Women’s Championships. 

“I just wanted to make 

sure to stay in my own moment 

and make good shots, hoping 

the pins would fall my way. 

Whether it was me or Kelly, I 

just wanted us to be on top.” 

Nation’s focus was tested in 

Game 4 when she registered 

a foul after starting the game 

with six consecutive strikes. 

She chose not to dispute the 

foul and didn’t allow it to 

affect her performance as she 

finished with 215. 

“You just have to move on 


led by more than 100 pins 

after three games and battled 

through a tricky transition and 

a few ball changes to increase 

the margin of victory to 215 

pins over their teammates, 

Shannon O’Keefe and Tennelle 

Milligan, who grabbed the 

silver medal with a 2,565 total. 

Canada’s Caroline Lagrange 

and Isabelle Rioux took home 

the bronze with 2,562. Team 

USA’s Liz Johnson and Stefanie 

Nation finished seventh with 

2,461. 

“I got off to a good start 

today, and the pairs seemed 

to play more evenly from pair 

to pair and lane to lane,” said 

Pluhowsky, who finished 30th 

in singles with a 1,183 total 

Monday. “It was a different 


USA stumbled to an 897 total 

in Game 5, which put Venezuela 

and Canada just 39 and 

61 pins away heading into the 

final game. 

Left-hander Shannon 

Pluhowsky started the finale 

with seven consecutive strikes 

and helped Team USA cruise 

into the top spot with a 1,105 

effort. Columbia also finished 

strong and moved around 

Venezuela and Canada to take 

the silver medal with a 6,090 

total. Canada finished third 

with 6,068. 

“There was never a doubt 

that we were going to fire 

back after the fifth game,” said 

O’Keefe, who paced the team

Crave Games’ New 

Brunswick Pro Bowling 

SEATTLE, WA — The Professional 

Bowlers Association 

and Crave Games have entered 

into a sponsorship agreement 

that will result in expanded 

visibility for the new video 

game Brunswick Pro Bowling 

on the PlayStation®3 computer 

entertainment system from 

Sony. 

The latest edition of the 

Brunswick Pro Bowling 

video game is one of the most 

popular bowling games in the 

electronic entertainment industry, 

and the newest edition 

takes advantage of the latest 

advances in technology with 

the PlayStation®Move motion 

controller on the PlayStation®3 

to make the game even more 

realistic for dedicated bowling 

fans. 

The sponsorship agreement 

will include game demonstration 

booths for fans who 

attend the PBA World Series 

of Bowling, Oct. 24-Nov. 6, at 

South Point Casino, Hotel and 

Bowling Center in Las Vegas, 

NV, and at five PBA regional 

tournament locations to be 

announced, along with titled 

sponsorship of the Brunswick 


Pro Bowling Cheetah Championship 

which will air Nov. 

28 on ESPN. A variety of other 

signage, on-air and online 

promotional exposures for the 

new game are included in the 

package. 

The agreement also will 

include “competition” between 

Brunswick Pro Bowling spokesman 

Sean Rash – a Brunswick 

Pro Staff member and four-time 

PBA Tour champion – and PBA 

fans during the World Series of 

Bowling. 

“Brunswick Pro Bowling 

brings to life all the fun and 

excitement of live action bowling 

by delivering a high-quality 

virtual experience that appeals 

to both casual and hardcore 

gamers,” said Crave Games 

executive vice president Betsi 

Gijanto. “With the addition 

of the new motion controller 

technology, this game brings 

together bowlers, gamers and 

families of all ages.” 

“Brunswick Pro Bowling 

provides the perfect social 

activity and quality entertainment

As expected, the 2010 

PBA World Series reached its 

capacity of 256 players on Sept. 

28, with former PBA Exempt 

Tour player Tony Reyes of San 

Bruno, CA, claiming the final 

spot. 

The next step is filling the 

spectator area at South Point

with PBA fans to help kick off 

the 2010-11 Lumber Liquidators

And during the first week 

of qualifying, you might find 

yourself seated next to Susie

PBA superstar Earl Anthony

attend the entire first week 

of World Series action to visit 

with old friends and watch the 

competition.

National teams find success 

after training at ITRC 

Before finding unprecedented 

success at major 

international events this 

summer, several teams spent 

quality time training at the 

International Training and 

Research Center. 

Teams from the Dominican 

Republic and Singapore found 

success in major events after 

training at the ITRC, located 

at the International Bowling 

Campus in Arlington. The ITRC 

is the home training center for 

Team USA, and both the Team 

USA men and Junior Team 

USA squads trained at the ITRC 

before successful campaigns at 

world championship events. 

“The staff at the International 

Bowling Campus would like 

to congratulate all the teams 

that visited the ITRC on their 

great success,” United States 

Bowling Congress Managing 

director of National Governing 

Body Neil Stremmel said. “We 

hope that more teams will visit 

the ITRC to take advantage of 

the unmatched technology and 

training opportunities.” 

The Dominican Republic 

had its best performance ever 

at the Central American and 

Caribbean Games in Mayaguez, 

Puerto Rico, taking three gold

medals and one bronze medal. 

Upon returning home from 

the event, Dominican Republic 

head coach Craig Woodhouse 

said the team was greeted at 

the airport by two television 

stations and 100-plus people 

waving Dominican flags. 

“The experience at the ITRC 

was absolutely a part of our 

success,” Woodhouse said. 

“Team bonding and information 

gathering was the focus of 

our week at the ITRC. I have 

never seen our players work 

together as well as they did 

in Puerto Rico. Truly when 

a medal was won, the entire 

group felt they were all a part 

of it. An attitude change was 

very noticeable and our trip to 

Texas did that.” 

Team USA’s training at the 

ITRC helped its men’s team to 

a record-setting performance at 

the 2010 World Tenpin Bowling 

Association World Men’s Championships 

in Munich, Germany, 

as the squad brought home 

five gold medals in six events, 

the most by any country in the 

history of the event. 

Junior Team USA, meanwhile, 

earned two gold medals 

and three silver medals at 

the 2010 WTBA World Youth

Championships in Helsinki, 

Finland, marking the best 

performance for the U.S. youth 

team in the event since 2004. 

“Having access to the 

training center enabled our 

players to be better prepared to 

compete in these events,” ITRC 

and Team USA head coach Rod 

Ross said. “The technology 

we have allowed us to achieve 

results in a shorter timeframe 

and give immediate feedback 

to the players while they were 

training.” 

More than two months 

after training at the ITRC, 

Woodhouse said his Dominican 

Republic team is still reaping 

the benefits of the trip and 

utilizing information the team 

gathered. 

“All the technical equipment 

at the ITRC provided me with 

tons of information, and that’s 

what I’m working with now,” 

Woodhouse said. “So the ITRC 

is still having an effect on our 

team even after the tournament 

is over and several months 

have passed. It was a great 

investment and we definitely 

would love to do it again.” 

The Singapore women’s 

national team visited the ITRC 

for a week between the USBC 

Queens and U.S. Women’s 

Open. The team had three 

players advance to match play 

at the U.S. Women’s Open, and 

at the World Youth Championships 

in Helsinki the Singaporeans 

took home two silver 

medals and a bronze medal. 

Another team is hoping its 

trip to the ITRC will pay off at 

a major international tournament. 

The women’s national 

team from Chile visited the 

ITRC this week in advance of 

the 2010 Pan American Bowling 


Championships, which begin 

Monday in suburban Las 

Vegas. 

“I was here back in February 

for a WTBA technical 

meeting, and I was fascinated 

by the size of this place and 

everything it offered,” Chile 

head coach Jim Porter said. 

“The location is easy to get 

to and the dedicated staff are 

second to none. It’s a golden

BOWLING BUFFS… 

The West Texas Bowling Buffs are busy with 

this season just starting, the kids are busy 

getting settled into their classes and getting 

used to being in school again. 

We have a total of 27, 11 women and 16 BOWLING 

men, that make up the WT’s teams this year. 

Tryouts are finishing up, and the teams will soon be picked for our first 

tournament in Amarillo October 2nd at Western Bowl. 

One person that is having a great tryout is Seth Rutledge, a sophomore from 

Dallas, TX. He is leading the men in averages with a 201. Taylor Coggins a freshman 

from Burleson, TX and Jimmy Ewell a freshman from Austin, TX are right 

behind Seth in averages. On the women’s side we have Hannah Stedman making a 

charge to the top with a 194 average to lead the women in averages. Nicollette 

Yurich a sophomore from Oklahoma City, OK and Dianna Barkett a freshman from 

San Antonio, TX are having a strong tryout session also. 

I am looking forward to our tournaments 

this next month in Amarillo, 

Wichita, KS, and Conroe, TX. The teams 

look very strong this year and I expect us 

to be at the top every tournament! Until 

next time…

Maple Family Centers 

contributes $23,500 to BVL 

Largest recorded donation from bowling centers 

Through the combined 

efforts of the management, 

staff, league bowlers, and area 

retailers, Maple Family Centers, 

a five-center chain outside 

New York City, recently made 

a record-breaking donation 

of $23,500 to the Bowlers to 

Veterans Link (BVL). Founded 

by the sport of bowling in 

1942, BVL provides recreational 

and therapeutic programs and 

services to active duty military 

and veteran service men and 

women that help brighten days 

and speed recuperation. 

The Maple Family Center 

effort started with the vision of 

president John LaSpina. “Our 

thought was this: Create a 

campaign which would benefit 

BVL, at the same time provide 

an opportunity for our bowlers 

to have some fun and to do 

some good.” 

Staff worked together to 

develop a tournament program 

which began at the league 

level. “We wanted to create a 

very simple structure, and yet 

give all our bowlers a chance 

to participate; not just the competitive 

or scratch bowlers,” 

notes LaSpina. LaSpina also 

credits retired Navy Veteran 

Bill Rhoades, who bowls at 

LaSpina’s Farmingdale center, 

for the format concept. The 

in-league tournament ran for 

two months, with staff going 

lane to lane immediately after 

practice to register bowlers. All 

who signed up received a free 

game coupon. A leader board, 

updated weekly, was created 

along with a BVL display in 

each center. 

In addition, raffle prizes 

were solicited from area retailers 

and pro shops – providing 

an additional source of 

fund-raising. 

Capping off the event was 

a Tournament of Champions 

competition, which brought 

the top 20 bowlers from each 

center together for a final 

competition. 

Moreover, LaSpina insured 

that one in six participants 

would cash, and the winner 

of the championship would 

receive a free trip to the Bowling 

Proprietors Association 

of America’s meeting in Las 

Vegas. 

“Our bowlers were really 

enthusiastic about this event,” 

explains Joe LaSpina, John’s 

son who worked alongside his 

father to implement the program. 

“The energy and excitement 

it created was really infectious. 

It was a combination

cause…they all really believed

great combination!”

title game. 

The Talking Trash tournament 

is an annual event that 

consists of four-member teams 

bowling matches in which 

bonus pins are awarded for 

individual scores along with 

team scores. 

Tangi Lanes puts out a 

different sport shot each year, 

and attracts bowlers from all 

over the country to compete in 

the event. 

Including the bowlers 

auction and side pots, over 

$40,000 was paid out in this 

years event. 

Finishing in third place was 

the team of Alan Chetister, 

Nick Branum, Tony Churchy, 

and Derwin Pitre, the only 

team in the field consisting of 

four bowlers from four different 

states. 

They beat the fourth place 

team in the first match of the 

stepladder finals, Xeno Garcia, 

Larry Thompson Jr, Eric 

Traylor, and Shawn Maldonado.

NATION WINS 


from something like that, and 

I’m glad it didn’t cost us in 

the end,” Nation said. “Winning 

two of the three medals 

is a great start for us, and I 

think we’re all mentally and 

physically prepared for the next 

couple of days leading into the 

team event, which is the one 

we’re really looking forward 

to.” 

At the 2008 PABCON 

Championships in Santiago, 

Chile, Kulick finished fourth 

in singles before winning gold 

medals in doubles, trios, team, 

all-events and Masters. 

“Stefanie was consistent 

all day long and put herself in 

contention to win it,” Kulick 

said. “I’m disappointed that I 

had the opportunity to win the 

gold and threw a bad shot, but 

I’m thrilled for Stefanie. 

Last time, I finished 

fourth in singles, so at least 

I improved and got a medal 

today. Now, I’m going to focus 

on doubles with Shannon 

(Pluhowsky) tomorrow, and I’m 

really looking forward to the 

team event. 

That’s the pinnacle of a 

tournament like this, and it’s 

a good opportunity for us to 

learn and improve as we look 

forward to the World Championships 

next year.” 

Team USA’s Liz Johnson 

finished fifth with 1,344, while 

Shannon O’Keefe was seventh 

(1,322), Tennelle Milligan was 

14th (1,252) and Pluhowsky 

was 30th with 1,183.

day and a different pattern, 

so I really couldn’t dwell on 

what happened yesterday. Since 

we’ll see the patterns again 

this week, all I can do is learn 

from each day and hope to get 

some more pins the next time. 

The more games you bowl, 

the more comfortable you get, 

and I’m happy with how today 

turned out.” 

Kulick got off to a slow 

start with a 182 game Tuesday 

morning but averaged 239.6 for 

the remaining five games. Her 

performance also helped her 

into the all-events lead with 

2,747 after 12 games. Team 

USA’s Johnson is second with 

2,678, while O’Keefe is third 

with 2,648. 

“It’s taking me a little bit 

longer to read the lanes in 

practice, and I’ve been slow 

out of the gate,” said Kulick, 

who claimed the sixth gold 

medal of her PABCON Women’s 

Championships career. “Shannon 

bowled great today from 

the start, and having a partner 

who’s bowling well helps get 

your swing a little bit looser. 

Today, it was a new pattern 

and a new outlook, and I’m 

pleased with how everything 

came together for us.” 

THOMPSON HAS 


“I wasn’t great, but I won 

one regional and some small 

tournaments,” he said. 

Then he started having 

elbow problems. He had his 

sixth surgery last week. 

The doctor can’t give him 

any guaranees, but Jimmy is 

an optimistic guy. 

“I like this doctor,” he said. 

As it is Jimmy, now 43 can 

bowl only three games at a 

time, and must use a 13-pound 

ball. 

He averaged 214 last year. 

He is not expecting miracles, 

but he sure would like to 

climb back to where he was.

PIN POINTS 

TO PONDER 

By CHUCK PEZZANO 

The pros are and should be 

very welcome. They really are 

fine athletes. 

What makes a good pro? 

In fully evaluating pro 

bowlers you can’t use money 

winnings as the only guide. 

Scoring averages can be deceiving 

too because they aren’t 

always what they seem. 

Pros bowl primarily to earn 

money. That is number one. 

The aim of every sport is to 

score well, so that is important 

too. 

Yet, a pro bowler can 

finish high in total earnings by 

winning or placing high in the 

more lucrative events, even if 

failing badly in others. 

As to scoring, some bowlers 

are shirkers. When they’re far 

down in the standings, they 

merely go through the motions 

in their final games or frames. 

This lowers their overall average 

and doesn’t reflect the true 

ability they show when higher 

in the hunt. 

Other bowlers shoot for 

every pin in every game as 

though it meant a title, and 

some bowlers rack up big 

scores when all they mean is a 

boost in average. There really 

is no right or wrong in either 

type of bowler. Most shirkers 

don’t do it on purpose, and the 

never say die bowlers know of 

no other way to play the game. 

This all evolves through 

habit or because of inborn 

personality traits, the things 

that make up bowlers, as all 

people and make them different. 

In charting a pro bowler 

it is necessary to take into 

ing high-game and series honors 

with a strike-filled 268-300-248 

= 816 session. 

Kevin Smith shared highgame 

accolades with Bailey as 

both fired an award-winning 

perfecto. Skip Klement’s 299 solo 

took runner-up kudos. 

Lisa Marley led the ladies with 

a sterling 623 set.

consideration his athletic ability, 

personality, clutch talent 

and attitude on winning and 

losing. 

Timing and maybe a little 

luck, is important. 

If a bowler could save his 

best scores for the events paying 

$100,000 or more for first, 

he could have a big year with 

few wins. 

In some events it takes a 

250 average to win. In others, 

220 does the job. Any decent 

pro can average up to 220 on 

a given week. And over the 

season, rolling on various lane 

conditions, moving on lanes, in 

different surroundings, the top 

pros average from 220 to 229. 

Don’t confuse that with 

the many house bowlers who 

average much more than that, 

bowling each week on the 

same lanes in league play 

where the easiest scoring 

conditions prevail. 

That’s no knock on them. 

You bowl with the equipment 

you have on the conditions you 

meet or choose. Realistically, 

bowlers can be informally 

rated much as golfers, on different 

pars for different courses, 

with estimated bowling pars on 

varying lane conditions. 

The only real consistent 

thing about bowling is the 

inconsistencies, particularly in 

coring. Every bowler feels that 

his game, night, or tournament 

is coming. Putting the 

performance in the right place 

is another matter. It’s what 

dreams are made of. 

When it comes time to 

rating the pros, don’t forget the 

unknown factors previously 

mentioned. Do remember, they 

are without doubt the greatest 

bowlers in the world, 

particularly when you look 

at their records for more than 

1,000 games in tournament 

play each year. They can score 

on any type of land condition 

and under the most stressful 

and trying physical and mental 

situations. 

Overall, most bowlers 

couldn’t perform the way top 

pros do – even on a pinball 

machine that won’t tilt.

wanted the 800 so bad. 

What ball did you throw? 

The Storm Prodigy. 

Who drills your balls? My 

husband Tyler, at the Ballard 

Pro Shop. 

What is your all-time 

favorite bowling ball? The Roto 

Grip Horizon. 

What is your average in the 

Billie & Les High Pot league? 

198, but now its 223. 

What is your all-time high 

average? 223 last year at 

Cowtown. 

How long have you been 

bowling? For 23 consecutive 

years, I was born bowling. My 

entire family bowls, even my 

grandparents bowl, both sets! 

Who is your favorite pro 

bowler? (It took five minutes 

to come up with the answer) 

Mike Scroggins, he’s a fighter. 

Most memorable bowling 

moment? Bowling for the Collegiate 

national championship 

against Wichita State my senior 

year with West Texas A&M, 

that was really special. Also, 

bowling doubles with Tyler in 

Hawaii, it was a televised event 

that we won in 2009. Both 

were very, very memorable. 

Catie’s tip of the week: Don’t 

be afraid to get aggressive. I 

have been known to shy away 

from it, but when you are 

focusing and in the moment, its 

going to come out, and that’s 

okay. My dad always says to 

smile though.

“I think from a novice 

standpoint, learning about the 

different balls and lane conditions 

was great, and I have a 

lot to digest from this tour,” 

said Coughlin, who averaged 

183 for 63 games last year at 

Delaware Lanes in Delaware, 

Ohio. “The museum and hall 

of fame were neat to see, and I 

really enjoyed the technology 

side of things. There are a lot 

of similarities between racing 

and bowling.” 

During an NHRA-leading 

seven-win season in 2009, 

Coughlin and nine of his fellow 

drivers and crew members, 

including Johnson, made time 

to compete in the 2009 USBC 

Open Championships in Las 

Vegas, which featured a nearrecord 

17,200 teams. 

As Coughlin continues to 

learn the nuances of the game, 

his experiences at the world’s 

largest participatory sporting 

event and the IBC will stand 

out. 

“Being here and being at the 

Open were real eye-openers for 

me,” said Coughlin, who ranks 

ninth all-time with 66 career 

NHRA wins and fourth with 

52 Pro Stock victories. “I’ve 

bowled locally at home, but the 

atmosphere and the conditions 

are a lot different. I know I 

have a lot to learn, but I’m 

looking forward to it.” 

Now, the 1998 NHRA Rookie 

of the Year has found a way to 

combine his passions for racing 

and bowling. He plans to 

install a pair of bowling lanes 

in his new shop at his home 

just north of Columbus, OH. 

“I think it will be fun for 

family and friends to be able 

to enjoy the sport of bowling, 

too,” Coughlin said. 

“And with the traveling I 

do, it is nice to be able to stay 

close to home when I’m in 

town but still spend time doing 

something I enjoy.”

Family affair at 

Freedom Lanes 

By Tony Franklin 

Publisher, The Bowling News 

The Bowling News would 

like to welcome the newest 

bowling center to the “News” 

family, Freedom Lanes of 

Duncan, OK. 

The center was purchased 

by Jean and husband, Kent 

Brund, on July 14th of this 

year. Their children Sarah, 27 

and Josh, 25 are co-owners in 

the center. 

The Brund family has been 

looking for a center to run for 

the last few years and fell in 

love with Freedom Lanes in the 

small town of Duncan. 

“I have always been involved 

in the sport of bowling. 

My dad was in the military, 

and it was cheap entertainment 

for five kids,” said Jean. 

“My parents were coaches, 

I ended up going to college at 

New Mexico State, made the 

bowling team and also met my 

husband Kent there,” she said. 

The family has a strong 

coaching background. Both 

Jean and Kent have coached for 

25 years, and their kids have 

been coaching for over 10 years 

themselves. 

Freedom Lanes is a 24-lane 

center that the Brund family 

is currently in the process of 

renovating to get the warm, 

inviting feeling that all of their 

customers can enjoy. 

“We were able to make a 

profit the first two months and 

that was just on the bowling, 

no food or drinks. There are 

22,000 people here in town, 

and lots of little towns around. 

There is also a Haliburton 

training center nearby, so there 

are plenty of people looking for 

entertainment in the area,” she 

said. 

“We feel really good about 

the adult leagues, they are increasing 

and actually we have 

doubled them in size from last 

Kent and Jean Brund 

year. I am really trying to build 

the youth leagues. We now 

have 16 with four more coming 

in today. I am a huge youth 

proponent, so I am looking to 

build in that area, youth is my 

concern,” said Jean. 

They have dropped the 

prices across the board so that 

families will have an affordable 

place to spend their entertainment 

dollar, and the Brund’s 

have seen a positive response 

in just the first few months. 

The family chose Freedom 

as the name of the center, for a 

very specific reason. 

“It was all about a dream. 

A dream to find a place where 

we could live and not have 

to move again. Where we 

could be a family in business 

together. We chose Freedom, 

because we have freedom to 

live our lives the way we want 

to, to share our passion with 

other people, and to have a 

home for the rest of our lives,” 

Jean said. 

Freedom Lanes will be 

having their Grand-Opening 

on Oct. 22. They are inviting 

everyone to come up and visit 

and enjoy what their passion 

has created. 

Congratulations to the 

Brund Family on their new 

home.

Oklahoma City’s 

Heritage Lanes has 

it altogether 

Heritage Lane employees, from left, Mima Erickson, Betty McDaniel 

and Karen Beck. 

By Carol Hazlett 

Heritage Lanes, located 

in Oklahoma City, OK, has 

been with The Bowling News 

since the year 2000 and Mike 

Widmar has been the manager 

of that center for the last 10 

years. 

The center was purchased 

from Brunswick by Bartholomy 

Bowling Centers out of Springfield, 

MO, in 1999 and has been 

open for 11 years. 

Widmar, who is originally 

from the Tulsa area began 

bowling in youth leagues in 

the 1960s. Before moving to 

Heritage Lanes he previously 

was the assistant manager at 

River Lanes in Tulsa. 

Heritage is a 40-lane house 

with adult, senior and youth 

leagues. 

“We have had an resurgence 

in our youth leagues this year 

with the closing of 66 Bowl,” 

said Widmar. “We have around 

65-70 youth bowlers.” 

“Our Pizza & Beer leagues 

have grown and have also done 

very well for us. Several of our 

larger leagues are up by four to 

six teams,” Widmar added. 

Widmar said he thought 

the highest series rolled at the 

center was in the 860 range for 

men and for the ladies it was 

around 820. 

Heritage holds several charity 

events at the center which 

include the Oklahoma City 

Zoo, United Way, Muscular 

Dystrophy, Big Brothers and 

Big Sisters and last year held 

the Oklahoma City Thunder’s 

Christmas party. 

Upcoming plans for the 

center at this time, according 

to Widmar, is to just stay on 

course. He said, however, they 

do plan to set up a quarterly 

Mixed Team Tournament. 

When asked what Widmar 

was most proud of at 

the center, he replied, “The 

remodel to update the center 

in 2005. There were several 

changes including going to 

synthetic lanes, new carpeting 

and furniture.” 

“The other thing I am most 

proud of is my staff. They do a 

really good job.”

Our 54th Year 

The High Roller 

takes over the TAT 

The High Roller has been 

running bowling tournaments 

for 29 years in Las Vegas and 

has paid bowlers over $80 

million dollars. 

Recently the TAT has 

merged with Brad Edelman 

and the High Roller. Brad has 

said repeatedly that there will 

be no changes for the upcoming 

events, although he has 

indicated there may be extra 

prize funds with no entry fee 

increase. All entry packages 

including the Marathon will be 

offered at the same price as the 

last TAT event. 

All the divisions including 

the four Scratch divisions and 

the new Handicap division will 

also remain the same. 

The next TAT event will be 

held at The Orleans on February 

6-13th of February in 2011.

After Marcano closed out 

the finale with 182, Guerrero

final frame to win the gold

finish with a strikeless 168.

while Kulick had 5,197. 

Mexico’s Sandra Gongora

said. “It was a tough four days,

didn’t have anything too low,

am just very, very happy right 

now.” 

On the way to the championship 

match, Marcano 

defeated Puerto Rico’s Jessica 

Santiago (2-1), Mexico’s Sandra 

Gongora (2-1) and Team USA’s 

Shannon O’Keefe (2-0). O’Keefe 

did have a chance to strike out 

for a tie in their second semifinal 

game, but the pins just 

didn’t fall her way. 

“You can’t throw it that 

badly and expect to move on, 

so I was lucky to get as far as 

I did today,” said O’Keefe, who 

earned three medals this week. 

“Obviously, I’m still happy 

because it’s a medal, but I’m 

disappointed that I wasn’t able 

to settle in physically.” 

Guerrero’s path to the finals 

included wins over Canada’s 

Felicia Wong (2-1) and Team 

USA’s Kelly Kulick (2-0) before 

taking out top-seed Liz Johnson, 

2-1, in a battle that also 

came down to the final frame. 

O’Keefe and Johnson each 

received bronze medals for 

their Masters efforts Friday. 

“I bowled well on the 

medium pattern today, and I’m 

real happy with my performance 

overall,” said Johnson, 

who also won gold medals in 

team and all-events as well as a 

bronze in trios. “I felt focused, 

and I made some really good 

shots, but Clara bowled well 

and deserved to win the match. 

It’s been a great week overall, 

and I’m very happy.”

Publisher, The Bowling News 

Mike Light, the general 

manager of Northrock Lanes, 

Wichita, KS, is proud of the 

company he works for, and the 

center he manages. 

He moved to Wichita 17 

years ago to become the 

general manager and has been

Mike Light, general manager of Northrock Lanes 

The center is one of the 

jewels of the JOMA Bowling 

Company and has always been 

a place that loves to host the 

big events. 

“PBA Stops, Women’s US 

Opens, Collegiate Championships, 

State and City tournaments, 

High School Championships, 

they have been great for 

the center and great from me 

as I have learned how to deal 

with those types of events,” 

said Light. 

“My most enjoyable tournaments 

have been the Collegiate 

Tournaments. They were so 

much fun to host.” 

Northrock Lanes hosted the 

PBA Red, White and Blue tournament 

earlier this year, along 

with the televised finals of the 

World Championships which 

was won by Tom Smallwood.

The center has long been 

a mecca for some of the best 

bowlers in the sport, partly 

because Wichita is home to 

some of the best bowlers in the 

country, but also because it is a 

big beautiful center that caters 

to bowlers of all skill levels. 

Light is also very happy 

with his Senior Leagues. “We 

have been up in senior bowlers 

almost every year, we really 

treat them special. We have 

leagues that have grown from 

six to 16 teams and eight to 

26 teams over the years. To 

continue to grow in that area 

is a real compliment to our 

center and staff, and I think 

they really enjoy coming here,” 

he said. 

Northrock is always looking 

to improve and update as they

grow older. “The center was 

built in 1987 and is now 23 

years old. We put in new lanes 

last year that we desperately 

needed, but aside from that, it’s 

just an inviting venue,” said 

Light. 

The center is also home to 

one of the very best restaurants 

you will ever find in a bowling 

center. AJ’s Sports Grill pulls 

in people to eat that might not 

even plan on bowling, which 

is a rare partnership not found 

in many bowling centers these 

days. 

I know that I ALWAYS eat at 

AJ’s when I’m in Wichita, best 

pizza around.
