Lanes is a 32-lane house

Currently, the center is owned 

by Bill and Monica Wood. 

Three years ago Monica took 

over as the General Manager. 

Much focus and attention has 

that can represent 

and carry forth 

the vision of the 

organization.” 

“From a practical 

standpoint, 

I have a fresh,

perspective of the 

sport and the industry,” 

he added. 

“I have bowled in 

the highest levels 

of competition and

Random Thoughts 

Update on the USBC Open 

Championships 

It was a tough two week 

stretch for Ryan Whitney of 

Lewisville, TX as he lost the 

lead in 2 of 3 events he was 

leading. He was passed in 

singles and doubles, but is still 

leading All-Events with a score 

of 2171. And if there is one 

event I think he has a chance 

to win it’s the AE Eagle. The 

closest to him so far is a score 

of 2121 and the lanes have 

been much more challenging 

so far this year, so it might 

hold for a while. 

If you want to compare to 

last year, they are currently 

at day 48 of the tournament. 

Through the 48 days there 

have been six perfect games, 

through 48 days last year they 

had eight, so pretty comparable. 

There were 52 total 300 

games last year with only one 

Texan and one Kansan in the 

bunch. We already have two 

Texan’s with perfect games of 

the six shot so far. Of the 52 

last year, only 14 were shot in 

Team event, so far this year 

290 is the high game in the 

Team event. As for 800’s, 16 

last year, nada this year. But 

there’s lots of great talent on 

the horizon, so I’m sure we 

will have some soon. 

So with the scoring pace 

being at least a little slower 

this year, how does the USBC

Media Relations team of Matt 

Cannizzaro and Emil Williams, 

Jr. stay busy? “Even 

though the honor scores are 

less frequent this year, we 

are still on the lookout for 

potential new leaders and 

interesting features anytime 

there’s bowling going on. We’re 

also keeping busy with live 

streaming, the return of On 

the Lanes and adding content 

to the Open Championships 

page on the new BOWL.com. 

We also like to interact with 

the bowlers whenever possible, 

and we answer a lot of general 

questions about Baton Rouge, 

the Sub Board, webcams, VIP 

program, Showcase Lanes, 

registration for 2013 and much 

more, said Cannizzaro.” When 

they’re not working both guys 

said they are on the lookout for 

great Louisiana cuisine, which 

they’ve found plenty of in 

Baton Rouge. When you make 

your way to Red Stick, plan to 

spend a few minutes talking 

with the Media Dream Team 

and they can give you their 

top dining tips, oh and maybe 

where to play on the lanes too. 

Erik Vermilyea who I talked 

to last week also gave some 

tips on where to play. I didn’t 

get as deep overall as I usually 

do. I started Team event right 

around the 8-9 board with 

the rest of our team, and the 

deepest I got in Singles and

FOUNDED AND PUBLISHED BY JOE GENNARO FROM 1956-2009 

Doubles was only about 22. 

Usually I’ll end up well inside 

of 5th arrow at some point.” He 

also mentioned that his team 

did spend an hour practicing 

on the Showcase lane that 

helped them get a feel for the 

condition.

On page 4 this week, there’s 

a results story on an event 

called the Youth International 

Challenge Cup that was held in 

Rio Rancho, NM at Tenpins & 

More. The back-story however 

is fascinating. As you read 

the results you will see that an 

Australian youth team consisting 

of 4 boys and 4 girls travelled 

to the US to bowl against 

4 boys and 4 girls from the Rio 

Rancho/Albuquerque area in 

a match. How they got here is 

the real story. Steve Mackie, 

owner of Tenpins is from 

Australia and his during first 

bowling center manager job 

he worked for a man named 

Ron Rush. He and Rush turned 

into great friends through the 

years, with Rush even being 

the best man at Mackie and 

Dana Millers’ wedding. So as 

they were talking 14 months 

ago, Rush felt it would be cool 

to get a group of great young 

bowlers from the Brisbane area 

and send them to Mackie’s 

house in the US and have a 

little competition. He ended 

up putting up the $20,000 in 

expenses to give the kids a 

once-in-a-lifetime experience 

and send them to New Mexico. 

Mackie then got several local 

bowling families to host the 

kids, giving them a home to 

stay in for the week, and they 

spent all 9 days bowling. Local 

star Jimmy Tillery coached 

the New Mexico team, but the 

Mackie’s coached the Australian 

team to the 21-15 victory. 

As for what’s next, well Steve 

said that now it’s his turn, and 

the fundraising will need to get 

started so that they can send 

their team to Brisbane, Australia 

in 2014. It’s amazing where 

a random conversation between 

two friends can take you some 

times. 

One of the girls on the 

Australian team, Louise Ingoe, 

is actually from an area about 

1300 miles from Brisbane, in 

what Mackie calls the outback 

of the outback. She bowls in 

a center called the Dust Bowl, 

appropriately named because 

it’s in the desert. Upon hearing 

Mackie refer to the Rio Rancho 

area as the desert, she said it’s 

clear that his definition and her 

definition of the desert are two 

COMPLETELY different things. 

“The quickest and 

best way to reach 

people in bowling–”

By Jim King 

In our first member/ ladies 

doubles in 12 years, Butch 

Calvert and Lynda Barnes won 

10 of 12 matches in the finals 

and grabbed the title at AMF 

Richardson Lanes. 

Entering the title match, 

Daniel Adkins and Kristin 

Warzinski, who barely made 

the finals Saturday night, were 

in second, trailing by 85 pins. 

They could have won the 

tournament if they won the 

match by 56 pins. Butch and 

Lynda pulled out a 236-235 

victory to nail down 1st and 

send Danny/ Kristin to 3rd. 

Qualifying leaders Shannon 

O’Keefe and Pete Thomas won 

their last match to climb back

rounded out the top five. 

Thanks to Dennis Kuhn and 

staff for being great hosts. The 

shot was fair and held up well. 

Shannon and Jim had the 

only 300s. This tournament 

was so much fun for all who 

participated, we will have it

make it bigger and better. As 

many great lady bowlers as 

there are now, we should be 

able to do it. 

The growth of the college 

and high school programs 

over the last decade or so has 

produced some great bowlers.

Doug Rice 

This week’s high male is 

Doug Rice who shot 258-300- 

300 in the Masters league at 

AMF Showplace Euless. For 

those that know a little about 

the Rice family, now would be 

a good time to inform everyone 

that their son Austin is back at 

home and doing very well after 

a very scary aneurysm that 

kept him in the hospital for 

over a month. 

Where were you born? Santa 

Barbara, CA. 

What ball did you throw? 

The Ebonite Game Breaker, it’s 

my favorite ball of all-time. 

I was very happy when they 

re-released it. 

Thoughts on the big series? 

I went Double 10-pin, double 

10-pin and then off the sheet. 

I have had back to back 300’s 

once before in a tournament in 

California, always fun. (Editor’s 

note: I don’t want to give Doug 

too much credit, this was a prebowl 

set, but he did beat Tam 

by about 200 pins.) 

What is your all-time favorite 

movie? Shawshank Redemption, 

it’s one of those movies that I 

will sit and watch every time 

it’s on. I love the scene at the 

end where the warden throws 

the rock thru the wall and the 

camera shot looks back at him 

and Morgan Freeman, great 

scene. 

What is your favorite 

restaurant? I will give you my 

favorite in Texas, Jaspers in 

Plano. 

Where did you take your best 

vacation? Probably the Disney 

Cruise from Orlando when the 

kids were younger. 

What is your favorite song 

of all time? I love Classic 

Rock, but my favorite band is 

Audioslave. 

What’s the best advice you’ve 

ever received? Don’t spend more 

than you’ve earned, I may 

not be great at following that 

advice, but it is good advice. 

If you were the commissioner 

of all things bowling for a day 

what would you change? I don’t 

know how I would fix it, but 

I would like to change the 

handicap system. We are so 

close now, maybe just make it 

100% of 300 and be done with 

it. 

Favorite hobby besides bowling? 

Gambling, anything I can 

bet is a hobby. 

Wendy Shelton 

This week’s high female is 

Wendy Shelton who shot 793 

in the Dick Turner Memorial 

league at West Texas A&M 

campus center. She’s Majoring 

in Criminal Justice and a 

minor in psychology. 

What is your high series? 

This is my high, previous high 

was 702. 

What’s your high game? 289 

THE BOWLING NEWS | Thursday, April 5, 2012 | Page 3 

Thoughts on your big 

night? I got a new ball and I 

was determined to make it 

work. I have been working on 

push-away and staying down. 

Basically putting all together 

and it paid off. 

What ball did you throw?

DFWBOWLINGTOURNAMENT@GMAIL.COM 

I am writing this article on 

the eve of a life changing event 

in my life. 

That’s right I’m going to win 

$500 million in the lottery this 

very evening. Part of the fun 

of the lottery when it gets this 

high is chatting about what you 

would do with all that money. 

I read an article about pro 

athletes and how they have 

squandered all their money and 

are now broke, less than five 

or ten years after their playing 

days are over. These guys 

basically won the lottery every 

year for ten years and have 

nothing left to show for it. 

The question is why? How 

do you spend that kind of 

money so fast? It makes me 

wonder if I would be smart 

enough to handle all that 

money. Obviously there are 

hundreds of players who were 

responsible and are living 

wonderful lives in retirement, 

but how much money gets 

blown on homes, jewelry, and 

cars for someone to earn $50 

million dollars and be broke. 

I think the common theme 

among the broke millionaires 

are extravagant purchases. If a 

person earns $50 million over 

their career it was probably more 

like $30 million after taxes. So 

if you buy a $5 million dollar 

home you have spent a sixth

Sponsored by 

of all of your earnings in your 

career on a home. My guess is 

that these guys don’t think about 

maintenance, upkeep, and taxes 

after you purchase something 

like that. Taxes on a $5 million 

dollar home would be around 

$150,000 a year. That’s a lot of 

money for someone not making 

money anymore because they 

are retired. 

As far as winning the 

lottery goes I personally think 

the best option would be to 

take the full payout and spread 

it out over several years rather 

than the cash option. 

This makes sense for two 

reasons. First even if you manage 

to buy everything you want 

and somehow run out of money 

you will have more coming the 

next year. 

The other good reason is that 

all the leeches that come out 

of the woodwork claiming to 

have some of your DNA in them 

can be turned away because 

you don’t have all the money 

at once. If you only get $20 

million this year you can’t very 

well give a million to everyone 

of your relatives can you? 

I like to think of strange 

scenarios ahead of time so that 

if something crazy happens 

I am prepared. Brad Hunter, 

Terry Taylor, and I were in 

Las Vegas for nationals a few 

years ago and I had all of 

Brad’s bracket money in my 

pocket and we were heading 

to the In-N-Out Burger and I 

tried to hand Brad his money 

and he said to pay him later. I 

demanded that he take it and 

after he did he asked me why 

it was so necessary to give it 

to him now. I explained that if 

we got to In-N-Out Burger and 

got robbed that I didn’t want to 

still owe him several hundred 

dollars. Now that’s planning 

ahead folks! 

Those of you who have 

pets know the scary feeling 

you get when you cannot find

them. I have experienced it 

many of times, but my wife’s 

dog Jasmine is very special to 

her so it’s always more scary 

when something is wrong with 

her. We leave the dogs in the 

backyard with one of those invisible 

fences and shock collars 

so they have never even tried 

to run away in our new home. 

However, the other day we got 

home and although Lexi ran to 

the door Jasmine was MIA. 

Panic began to set in when 

Nikki went outside and searched 

the fence line and there was 

nowhere that she could have 

escaped. I knew with her 

overweight issues that there is 

no way she could have jumped 

the fence, and about that very 

second Nikki heard a whimper. 

Somehow the dogs had 

pried the wood off the side 

of our deck, which is all of 

about a foot tall, and crawled 

under and got stuck. Just like a 

parent’s relief of finding a lost 

child, it quickly turns to anger 

about why they got lost in the 

first place. I switched to anger 

when I started to realized that 

I was most likely going to have 

to take the deck apart to get 

her out. As I was in the garage 

frantically searching for the 

drill I heard the glorious news 

that she was out. Obviously I 

was happy she was okay, but 

truthfully I was happier I didn’t 

have to take on an extra home 

improvement project.

SPOTLIGHT 

Continued from Page 3 

bowling? I’ve been bowling 

since I could walk, but didn’t 

bowl competitively till I was 

15. My whole family bowls and 

I grew up in a bowling center. I 

wasn’t planning on bowling in 

college, but my friend Hannah 

Stedman talked me into 

bowling and we came to WT at 

the same time. Now I’m in my 

junior year on the team. 

Who is your favorite pro 

bowler? Kelly Kulick, I think 

she defies all boundaries 

because of her bowling. She 

knows herself, she’s a confident 

person, and she’s given women 

a whole new opportunity.

Most memorable bowling 

moment? I would have to say 

bowling in the sectionals in Euless 

two weeks ago and we shot 

a baker 270 and it was a really 

neat moment. It means a lot to 

make it to the finals and prove 

some people wrong; we leave in 

16 days for Lincoln, NE. 

What lessons has the game 

taught you? When I came 

to WT I really found that I 

was capable of things I never 

thought I could do. The teamwork 

and hard work really 

pays off, persistence is the key. 

I was a 150 average bowler 

when I came here, and I have 

improved so much and I’m still 

getting better.

in the red! 

Get some fingers in it 

This did used to be pretty 

important. If you didn’t “get 

some fingers in it”, the ball 

tended to hit pretty flat since 

the majority of the rotation 

and ball motion was predicated 

on whatever you did to the 

ball. They didn’t have engines 

in them as they do now with 

exquisitely responsive coverstocks 

that exaggerate the lane 

condition they find.

reactive balls respond rather

tion and you certainly didn’t 

let them bend backward. They 

were a bit flexed in the ball 

and they stayed that way as 

you released, often with a little 

grabby motion to be sure you 

“got it all”. The point of all this 

was to get the ball into a good 

rotation so that it hits the pins 

with some authority, driving 

enough to get the kingpin (the 

5 pin) out. 

All that “magic” is built in 

to the ball these days. Putting 

some fingers in it in the 

manner mentioned above will 

often get you very erratic ball 

reaction. That is not to say you 

don’t want your fingers firm 

in the ball. You absolutely do. 

It’s just not necessary to grab 

or squeeze. Calluses or burn 

marks on your fingers are not a 

good badge. That would mean 

you are either squeezing, the 

holes are too tight, or your 

pitch needs to be adjusted. 

Fast feet 

This is a common misconception. 

The feeling is like 

you got up there ahead of the 

ball. (It is sooo lonely up there 

without the ball, isn’t it?) Or 

that the ball was behind you. 

However you describe the 

feeling, the fact is your rhythm 

was off. You were at the foul 

line ready to deliver the ball 

before the ball was ready to be 

delivered. 

Although it is possible that 

your feet were faster than 

normal, let’s look at your swing 

speed. Speed is one of the components 

of momentum (power) 

at the pins. You know the 

physics of mass times speed. 

The more mass you have and 

the faster you throw that mass, 

the more momentum you will 

have. I don’t want to give up 


the hit at the pins. I want my 

approach momentum transferred 

to the ball and therefore 

to the pins. 

So, if I have fast feet, I want 

to keep them. Particularly 

for women, youth, and senior 

bowlers, giving up foot speed 

is a bad idea. The culprit is not 

fast feet. It’s slow arm. 

Get the ball moving sooner 

rather than trying to slow 

down your footwork. Trying 

to slow down or speed up one

Mike Fagan Wins Brunswick Euro Challenge 

SAINT MAXIMIN, France — 

Mike Fagan of Dallas continued 

his career-year Sunday, winning 

his second Professional 

Bowlers Association Tour title 

of the 2011-12 season when he 

cruised past Finland’s Joonas 

Jehkinen, 279-213, to win the 

Brunswick Euro Challenge at 

Plaza Bowl in suburban Paris. 

The 31-year-old 10-year PBA 

Tour veteran started the title 

match with nine strikes before 

losing his bid for a perfect 

game when he left a 10 pin on 

his first shot in the 10th frame. 

The title was the second of 

seven PBA Tour titles that will 

be awarded at international 

events under a new alliance 

with the World Tenpin Bowling 

Association. The Brunswick 

Euro Challenge included a 

field of 399 competitors – 318 

men and 81 women – from 35 

countries. 

Fagan, who won the Alka- 

Seltzer Plus Liquid Gels United 

States Bowling Congress Masters 

in January and finished 

second in the U.S. Open in 

February, earned 15,000 Euros 

(US$19,998) along with his 

fourth career PBA Tour title. 

Fagan also earned a European

Tournament to their house. 

This May marks the 60th 

Annual Women’s Kilowatt 

Tournament. It’s a five-member 

tournament for women, and 

all women USBC members are 

invited to put a team together 

to bowl in this tournament. 

Entries must be received by 

May 1, 2012. (see ad on page 9) 

This tournament started 

back in 1947 and at that 

time it was called the Ladies 

Invitational Reddy Kilowatt 

Tournament, was sponsored by 

Southwestern Public Service 

Company and hosted by Lubbock 

Bowling Club (Lubbock 

Bowl). Southwestern Public 

Service Company provided the 

advertising, printing, trophies, 

etc. and the Lubbock Women’s 

Bowling Association ran the 

tournament. 

In 1960, Ben Brown, the 

owner of Lubbock Bowl, and 

Mary Lee Galey took over 

running the tournament. 

Southwestern Public Service 

Company continued to sponsor 

the tournament through the 

mid 90’s, and Lubbock Bowl 

hosted the tournament until 

Mr. Brown sold Lubbock Bowl 

and closed the center. 

There have been a few 

transitional years where the 

tournament was not held due 

to one reason or another. Nonetheless, 

this year is the 60th 

year of the Women’s Kilowatt 

Tournament. This is also the 

first year that this tournament 

will be completely automated 

with standings and scores 

being updated through the use 

of computers versus “being 

recorded by the #2 pencil” as 

Mary Lee worded it. Mary Lee 

has been the director of this 

tournament since 1960. Monica 

Wood, the GM of Whitewood, 

directed the tournament for the 

first time last year with the assistance 

of Mary Lee. Mary Lee 

has since retired as director 

of the Tournament (although 

she is still active behind the 

scenes). 

Monica has been energetically 

working to make 

this year’s tournament at 

Whitewood Lanes a fun and 

enjoyable experience for all. So, 

women put your teams together 

and be a part of the 60th year 

of the Kilowatt Tournament .

One of his favorite international 

scoops was breaking the 

news to Associated Press that 

the 1993 AMF Bowling World 

Cup was headed to South 

Africa, which was then still 

a pariah in the international 

sports community because of 

its apartheid government. 

Luby’s involvement with 

international bowling led him 

to create the World Bowling 

Writers (WBW) in 1977 to 

help bowling journalists share 

information and promote the 

sport in their own countries. 

He was also a driving force 

in creating the WBW International 

Bowling Hall of Fame to 

recognize the sport’s greats in 

all four corners of the globe. 

His name graces the WBW’s 

Distinguished Service Award. 

Although retired, Luby 

continues to promote bowling 

as an accomplished artist, 

interpreting its history via 

watercolor and oil paintings. 

Luby, 80, a member of the 

United States Bowling Congress 

and Professional Bowlers 

Association Halls of Fame, lives 

in Carpentersville, Ill., with his

Brianne Hansen of McKinney 

Boyd edged Kayla Endicott

Anderson of San Antonio Taft 

201-182 to reach the champion- 

ship match. 

“Going into the competition 

my goal was to stay positive 

and just make the first qualifying 

round. From bowling team 

the day before, I knew the 

competition would be tough, 

so I decided all I could do was 

bowl what I could and not get 

upset if the other girls were 

bowling better,” said Hansen. 

Brianne was consistent 

throughout the day. She threw 

an Ebonite Game Changer and 

didn’t have to move, playing 

around 10-12 depending on the 

lane. 

Hansen on the championship 

match, “I had been 

watching Kayla bowl all day 

and knew that it was going go 

be a tough match. But after 

making it that far, I figured 

the only thing I could do was 

make every shot count and not 

worry about winning or losing. 

I decided to take it one frame at 

a time and just relax and have 

fun.” 

Hansen is graduating high 

school next month with her sisters, 

Ashley and Christina. The 

triplets plan to further their 

bowling career and will attend 

West Texas A&M University

BOWLING BUFFS… 

It is March Madness time, but in College Bowling it 

refers to something completely diff erent than basketball. 

It is time for our annual trip to Euless TX for the ITC 

Sectionals. This tournament will decide who makes it to 

Nationals and have a chance to win a National Championship 


BOWLING 

for their school. The top 4 schools in the men and women divisions will go on to Nationals in 

Lincoln Nebraska in April. 

West Texas was among 15 other schools from the Midwest and West to compete in the 

Sectional. On the women’s side there was Wichita State, Midland, Stephen F. Austin State, 

Cal State Fresno, and Viterbo to name a few. On the men’s side there was Wichita State, 

Midland, Cal State Fresno, Kansas, Texas A&M, Weber State, UNLV and Arizona State and 

others. The format was 64 baker games over a two day period, 32 each day. It was grueling 

two days for the competitors and very stressful for the spectators and coaches. 

This format requires a team to really bowl as a team because every shot and pin 

counts towards your fi nal score. Total pins will decide who goes to Nationals or not. On the 

Women’s side I am proud to say that once again our ladies will be going to Lincoln Nebraska 

and bowl at Nationals. They stepped up and bowled the best that they have all year long. 

The lady Buff s fi nished in 3rd place and coasted to spot into Nationals the last 8 games of 

the tournament. The men’s story is a litt le diff erent. The men started off great on the fi rst 

day; they were in 3rd place and 200 pins ahead of 5th place. The next day was a litt le more 

challenging, after 16 games on the second day they were still in 3rd but were only 100 

pins ahead of 5th place and they were fading. The last 8 games WT slipped to 5th place and 

missed earning a spot to Nationals. 

It was a tough loss for us, and I know the guys are really disappointed but we will learn 

from this and bounce for next year. Congratulations to Wichita State(men and women), 

Midland(men and women), Cal-State Fresno(men), Kansas(men), and Stephen F. Austin 

State(women) for earning spots to Nationals. Good luck to everyone. 

I do want to Congratulate WT’s Aaron Johnston from Ft. Smith AR for earning a spot 

into the Singles Nationals that will be held at Lincoln Nebraska. Aaron is the fi rst WT man to 

earn a spot into Nationals since Will Haverland 

did it in 2007. So good luck to Aaron, we wish 

him the best. 

Next month I will report back on how the 

ladies bowl at Nationals and how our last 

“Inside Line to WT Bowling” for the year goes. 

Until next time…

One thing I’ve learned this 

year is that it’s much more

be. Finding something new, 

or interesting to talk about is 

always a challenge, and I don’t

not really that exciting on a 

week-to-week basis. I already 

knew this, but it’s really come 

to light as I look at what has 

been going on each week for 

inspiration. 

Besides having a collision 

with the runner at first base 

this week on the softball field, 

not too much has happened. 

The guy was pretty big and 

I hit the ground hard, but 

seriously, how many times 

can I tell you all that I’m sore 

after playing softball. You have 

to wonder why I play! Well,

I can almost make it all the

getting winded. 

I’m always on the lookout 

for new, interesting things 

in the news or people at the 

bowling center I can write a 

story about. If you have any 

topics, or people we should

give us a call. 

Bowling in general has a lot 

of things that need change, but 

I try not to complain too much 

without offering solutions. 

There are also some great 

things happening in our sport, 

especially in the youth department, 

and I always try to point 

out the positives. 

After talking about having 

to go to Reno the next few 

years and how high the flight 

prices were last month, I got 

a great message from a friend 

offering me an airline discount 

code. I won’t say who it was 

here because I don’t want them 

to get bombarded with people 

asking for favors, but you know 

who you are. Thank you again. 

I really, really appreciate it. 

This has to be the cheapest I’ve 

ever flown to Reno even before 

the gas prices skyrocketed. So, 

I guess complaining does work 

out sometimes. 

Overall, it’s been a pretty 

good year. I’ve enjoyed having 

an outlet to express my 

opinions and share my love for 

bowling with all of you. I don’t 

think I’ve ruffled TOO many 

feathers along the way so far.

INTRODUCING 


“Bowling has provided me 

with many opportunities and 

valuable life experiences,” Cain 

said. “I wanted to help shape 

both the USBC and bowling 

now and for the future generations 

that would someday take 

on leadership roles.” 

Now as President, Cain 

will oversee a very diverse 

Board made up of athletes and 

proprietors to association and 

youth representatives, even to a 

representative from the TNBA, 

all filled with ideas of how to 

help the USBC going forward. 

The challenge from all those 

differing perspectives is to 

achieve a consensus and focus 

on doing a few things really 

well, instead of simply trying 

to please all. 

“The most important thing 

to remember is that we are all 

leaders, and that is the only 

label that matters when we get 

down to business,” said Cain 

about the Board. “Progress 

doesn’t happen overnight, and 

although it is sometimes challenging 

to have a broad range 

of perspectives, this range gives

us the best groundwork for the 

future.” 

Outside of the bowling 

arena Cain owns and operates 

a small wholesale food 

distribution company in the 

Phoenix area. He utilizes his 

experience from that job as 

well as his time as a team-first 

bowler to help him succeed as 

a member of the team that is 

the USBC Board. Now that he 

is the President of the board, 

he realizes he has quite a bit 

more responsibility, but that 

is something he is eager to 

handle and manage. 

“This change was not a 

complete whirlwind for me as 

I have been serving on five 

committees concurrently for 

two years prior to my election,” 

Cain said of the additional responsibility. 

“That all required 

a lot of time and effort as 

well, so I look forward to this 

challenge.” 

As Cain gets rolling into 

his term, one of the primary 

focuses for the Board remains; 

to increase overall membership 

numbers. Declining membership 

has been a concern for the 

USBC for quite some time, and 

it is no different now with Cain 

222-599, Bob Hines 236, Robert Sanders 

610, Ray Miles 245. 

Red Demerson 672, Martha Joy 200, 

Barbara Jones 557. 

as the President, and he also 

realizes that they must take a 

look at the state of the sport 

now and attack the challenges 

accordingly. 

“In order to remain relevant 

and sustainable for the future, 

we must look at the different 

ways bowling has evolved and 

how we can take advantage 

of them,” said Cain. “They are 

crucial because they are our 

future members and bowlers 

that will fuel our organization 

past our lifetime.” 

“USBC needs to be more than 

simply something that people 

join,” he added. “USBC needs to 

be effective in representing our 

sport as the standard of integrity 

and model of growth in our 

industry. We want our members 

and partners to be proud and 

engaged as bowling deserves 

our very best.” 

A very vital aspect to the 

success of Cain and the Board 

is Cain’s working relationship 

with USBC Executive Director 

Stu Upson. “Stu and I have a 

great working relationship,” 

he says. “The Board/Executive 

Director linkage is paramount 

to our future success as it provides 

the conduit for translating 

and relating governance to 

the operation of our business.” 

To go along with his 

responsibilities to the Board 

as President, Cain still intends 

to remain active on the lanes 

as a bowler himself, with an 

upcoming trip to the USBC 

Open Championships in May 

to try and defend his title with 

his teammates, as well as additional 

tournament and league 

competition. 

As for his plans past the 

end of his term on July 31st, he 

fully intends to pursue a full 

term as President for 2012-2013.

WEEKLY GLANCE 

(For March 21-27, 2012) 

New doubles leaders emerge 

at USBC Open Championships 

Adam Barta of Girard, Ohio, 

and Hugh Miller of Mercer 

Island, Wash., took the Regular 

Doubles lead at the United 

States Bowling Congress Open 

Championships with a 1,429 

total at the Baton Rouge River 

Center on March 22. 

Barta started the night 

with games of 235 and 204 

before calmly stepping up in 

the final frame of doubles and 

firing three clutch strikes for 

a 279 finish and 718 series. 

Miller added games of 269, 209 

and 233 for a 711 set, and the 

two passed Ryan Whitney of 

Lewisville, Texas, and Chris 

Hans of Rocky Mount, N.C., 

who previously held the lead 

with 1,420. 

“It’s an unbelievable feeling,” 

said Barta, a 32-year-old 

right-hander, who made his 

11th USBC Open Championships 

appearance. “It’s something 

that everyone who bowls 

this tournament dreams of. To 

be in the position to take the 

lead, and knowing you need 

those strikes to do it, adds a 

little pressure, but it’s a dream 

everybody wants. Luckily, 

Hugh and I were able to take 

advantage of it. He doubled in 

the 10th, and I struck out, and 

it’s an awesome feeling.” Barta 

added 636 in team and 629 in 

singles for a 1,983 all-events 

total. Miller, a seven-time Professional 

Bowlers Association 

national champion, ended his 

28th tournament appearance 

with 598 in singles and 576 in 

team for 1,885. Ryan Whitney 

leads Regular All-Events with 

2,170. 

Thiel celebrates 67 years at 

USBC Open Championships 

Sylvester Thiel of Lake City, 

Minn., made his 67th USBC 

Open Championships appearance 

March 23 and now is the 

tournament’s active participation 

leader after breaking a 

tie with Les Berry of Wooster, 

Ohio, who bowled in 66 tournaments, 

but isn’t scheduled to 

compete this year. 

USBC Hall of Famer Joe 

Norris of San Diego and Bill 

Doehrman of Fort Wayne, Ind., 

share the participation record 

of 71 years. 

Thiel, who made his debut 

at the 1940 event in Detroit, 

entered the 2012 tournament 

eighth on the all-time pinfall 

list. He turned in scores of 362 

in team, 332 in doubles and 

309 in singles for a 1,003 allevents 

total to move past Don 

Ellis (109,072), Glenn Allison 

(109,509), Doehrman (109,566) 

and Dick Weber (109,745) to 

fourth with a career pinfall of 

109,942. 

USBC’s Mike Larsen shoots 

fourth 300 of 2012 USBC Open 

Championships Mike Larsen 

of Arlington, Texas, rolled the 

fourth perfect game of the 2012 

USBC Open Championships 

during doubles on March 26. 

The 28-year-old right-hander 

finished with games of 185, 

300 and 194 for a 679 series 

and teamed with Gary Brown, 

USBC’s Director of Collegiate 

and Youth Tournaments, for a 

1,275 total. 

Larsen, the USBC Director 

of Association Development, 

closed with a 716 series in 

singles, and his 598 effort in 

team gave him a career-best 

1,993 all-events total, which 

is just shy of the top 10. Ryan 

Whitney of Lewisville, Texas, 

who also rolled a 300 game at 

this year’s tournament, leads 

Regular All-Events with 2,170. 

Classified Division gets new 

all-events and team leaders 

Dennis Poepping of Alexandria, 

Minn., took the Classified All- 

Events lead with a 1,746 total at 

the Baton Rouge River Center 

on March 24. Paul Schrubbe of 

Horicon, Wis., previously held 

the lead with 1,742. 

Poepping, a 52-year-old 

right-hander, had a career-high 

643 series in doubles and 

added 554 in team and 549 in 

singles. 

On March 26, Frazee 2 of 

Vergas, Minn., moved into 

the Classified Team lead with 

a 2,678 total. K Lines 2 of 

Gildford, Mont., previously held 

the lead with 2,658. 

Mark Kemper led the way 

for Frazee 2 with a 615 series 

and was followed by Mark 

Bylander (594), Bill King (539), 

Greg Mickelson (485) and Jon 

Smith (445).

definitely in full bloom and for 

many of you that means one 

thing, Golf. 

I have always envied my 

bowling friends who have the 

patience, finesse, and most 

of all, the time, to participate 

in more than one hobby they 

stink at. I have a hard enough 

time getting 21 games a season 

to maintain a legitimate average, 

let alone taking the time 

to chase some little white ball 

(typically a whole box of little 

white balls for me) on top of 

that. I do manage to average 

about one and a half golf outings 

annually and one of those 

just happens to be coming up 

here on April 25th. 

Each year a group us get 

together for a fun day of food, 

fellowship, and golf in order 

to raise money for local High 

School Bowling programs and 

of course for my little Bowling 

Buffalo hommies at W.T.A.M.U. 

One thing that has made 

this annual outing easier for 

me over the years is that my 

golf bag (and club selection) 

seems to get lighter and lighter 

with each round I play. I’ve 

generously donated various 

irons, hybrids, and drivers to 

the creek beds and pro-shop 

roofs of some of our areas most 

beautiful courses…what can I 

say I’m a giver. 

So this year’s scramble will 

just consist of my shoes, driver, 

7 iron, pitching wedge and 

putter, but then again what else 

do you really need anyway? 

This is coming from the guy 

who has carried the same three 

bowling balls to tournaments 

for almost 20 years…if it ain’t 

broke don’t fix it. 

Yes I digress…back to 

subject matter at hand (pun 

intended). One of my favorite 

things about writing this 

column is learning more about 

all that is leftyness. 

Did you know there is a 

National Association of Left- 

Handed Golfers or NALG for 

short? It’s true, and in fact 

some NALG’s have gotten 

together and formed state 

chapters in addition to their 

national affiliation. They 

annually play and compete at 

some of the finest courses in 

the country. 

So I started reading the 

rules, and while I imagine Phil 

Mickelson doesn’t pony up the 

$25 a year to be a card carrying 

member, this still sounds 

pretty cool. I can’t figure out if 

I’m eligible to join since I golf 

right-handed, then again as 

bad as I am what could be the 

harm in flipping sides. 

The NALG’s also got me 

thinking about a MUCH bigger 

concept, what about an association 

of lefty bowlers, yes our 

own club, it’ll be huge! So I’m 

officially announcing in this 

column the instatement of the 

Texas Order of Lefty Keglers 

(TOOLK). 

Now it is understandable to 

get excited however membership 

as a TOOLKie is pretty 

exclusive and will require 

some action on your part. 

Also I don’t plan to manage 

the organization or run any 

tournaments, I’m just the brain 

trust, the architect…I just need 

you to go ahead to send me $25 

to join and from there you can

Inaugural YES 

Corporate Cup set 

ARLINGTON, Texas - So 

which brand in the bowling 

industry has the best bowling 

team? Well, there’s only one 

way to find out. 

The International Bowling 

Campus Youth Development 

team will hold a corporate 

tournament to benefit the Youth 

Education Services (YES) Fund 

during Bowl Expo in Reno, Nev. 

The inaugural YES Corporate 

Cup is scheduled for 

Monday, June 25 from 3:30 

p.m.-6:30 p.m. at the oneof-a-kind 

National Bowling 

Stadium. The cost is $5,000 

per brand; the tournament is a 

fundraiser, so all proceeds will 

go to the YES Fund. 

However, the winning team 

SAN ANGELO, TX – Jason Flynn 

collected high-series honors 

for the month at Stadium Lanes 

with a high-powered 278-225-268 

= 771 City League series. 

Sarah Jones led the ladies

Senior bowler, Leroy Smith earned 

high-game honors with a 297 single. 

HONOR ROLL 

Gary Glass 205-488, Leslie Beal 

will receive a “sizeable trophy” 

it can display for the next 12 

months to signify it is the best 

in the bowling business. Of 

course, this is the start of what 

will be a yearly competition, so 

the winner will have to defend 

its title next year. 

“Some industry partners suggested 

we create a little competition 

for bragging rights between 

the bowling brands,” said IBC 

Managing Director of Youth 

Development Chad Murphy. 

“The nation’s leading bowling 

manufacturers have been so 

instrumental in the success of 

the YES Fund since its creation 

and we hope they will join us

FINAL FIELD 


and thinks that was her high 

series. Mitchell bowls Wednesday 

nights at AMF Garland in 

the NASCAR league and carries 

a 171 average. 

“That was the first time I 

had ever bowled at Richardson 

lanes. I generally bowl better 

when I bowl someplace for the 

first time,” said Mitchell. “The 

first thing I thought about was 

that I was already scheduled 

for vacation that week because 

we are celebrating our 25th 

wedding anniversary. So, we 

backed out of our camping trip 

to go to Las Vegas,” she continues. 

Mitchell and her husband 

plan to go a few days early 

to bowl on the lanes a couple 

of times to get a feel for the 

environment. “All I can remember 

is the hollow sound of the 

lanes being on the second floor 

at The Orleans,” said Mitchell. 

If Rhonda wins the $50,000 

first place prize, there is a new 

truck and cruise tied to it. 

Also qualifying from this 

district to go to Las Vegas 

is Walter Wilson from AMF 

Boulevard Lanes, Edmond, OK 

in the Open Division, 98 pinsover-average, 

Mike Williams 

from AMF Windsor Lanes, 

Oklahoma City in the A Division, 

82 pins-over-average, and 

Ray Henry from AMF Midland 

Park Lanes, Midland, TX, 207 

pins-over-average. 

Twenty-seven bowlers from 

each division will compete in 

an eliminator format to determine 

the National Champions 

and claim the $50,000 first 

place prize. Second place in 

each division will take home 

$25,000, third place will win 

$10,000 each and fourth place 

wins $5,000 each. 

Once the field is cut to 

the top four bowlers in each 

division, the bowlers will be 

seeded 1-4, according to their 

pins-over-average score from 

the previous round. The four 

bowlers will participate in a 

PBA-style stepladder format to 

determine the National Champions 

in each division. 


ANNOUNCEMENT 


2 goals immediately: 

1. We can be sure that we will 

have more teams, more prize 

money and more sponsor 

support in the very first year. 

2. We can welcome back those 

that supported the Active 

Duty division but have left 

the service. They have not 

retired so there has not been 

a place for them to bowl.

this “fix” will strengthen the

milestone moments in TOC 

history: 

1962 – The first PBA 

Tournament of Champions 

was contested in 1962 at Play 

Bowl in Indianapolis, Ind., 

and was won by Joe Joseph of 

Lansing, Mich. Joseph won the 

inaugural event in the twogame 

three-player final with 

480, followed by Billy Golembiewski, 

416, and Carmen 

Salvino third with 409. Joseph 

won a $15,000 first prize from 

the $50,000 prize fund. 

1965 – The event was not 

contested again until 1965 

when it moved to Bowlarama 

in Akron, Ohio, and Firestone’s 

long-running sponsorship made 

it possible for the event to be 

conducted annually. Firestone’s 

involvement was one of the 

first and longest-running sport 

sponsorships by a corporation 

lasting 28 years. Firestone also 

became the first company to 

have titled-event sponsorship 

on a nationally-televised sports 

event, launching a new era in 

sports marketing. 

PBA Hall of Famer Billy 

Hardwick won the event and 

according to a Sports Illustrated 

article by Joe Jares 

following the event, Hardwick’s 

$25,000 prize check was $5,000 

more than Jack Nicklaus won 

for winning golf’s Masters that 

year. 

1966 – The event moved 

to Riviera Lanes in the Akron 

suburb of Fairlawn, Ohio, 

where it would remain through 

1994. 

1967 – Jack Biondolillo 

bowled the PBA’s first nationally-televised 

300 game in a 

match against Les Schissler. 

Biondolillo finished third in the 

event. 

1970 – One of the great 

images in sports was Don 

Johnson sprawled out on the 

approach after leaving a 10 pin 

on the final shot of the championship 

match when he defeated 

Dick Ritger, 299-268. 

1973 – Jim Godman became 

the first player to win the event 

twice (1969 & 1973). 

1975 – PBA inducts its first 

Hall of Fame class (Ray Bluth, 

Don Carter, Dick Weber, Billy 

Welu, Harry Smith, Carmen 

Salvino, Frank Esposito and 

Chuck Pezzano) in ceremonies 

during TOC week, a tradition 

that has continued nearly every 

year since. 

1984 – Mike Durbin, who 

lived in the nearby Cleveland 

suburb of Chagrin Falls, Ohio, 

became the first player to win 

the TOC three times (1972, 

1982 & 1984). 

1987 – Hall of Famer Pete 

Weber wins the PBA Tournament 

of Champions, a tournament 

his legendary father, Dick 

Weber, never won. 

1991 – Second-seeded David 

Ozio overcame the distraction 

of a 40-minute bomb threat delay 

from a crank call to defeat 

Amleto Monacelli, 236-203, for
