Diane Parrish-
White joins staff
at Pin Center Bowl
By Tony Franklin, Publisher
Diane Parrish is one the
DFW areas’ greatest bowlers,
but she’s also been extremely
committed to the business
side of the game for much of
adult life. If you haven’t seen
or heard from her in a while,
she has a good reason for her
absence.
She retired from work two
years ago to take care of her
mom who was sick and in a
nursing home in her hometown
of Ganesville, TX. “I was
commuting back and forth
from Benbrook two or three
times a week, but you never
feel like you ever do enough,”
she said. “My mom was always

By Tyson Branagan,
Staff Writer
At age 63, Robert Elmore,
of Longview, Texas, was home
alone for the first time in
his life after all of his three
children had moved away, and
decided he needed something
to occupy his time and to get
out of the house, and bowling
fit right in.
“I had bowled a little bit
over the years, and knew I’d
like it, and didn’t really want
to golf,” said Elmore on his
adaptation to bowling. “I had
always had family around close
and just felt I couldn’t afford
the sport, and it took me that
long to make myself do it.”
“I’ve always been quite good
at skill sports all my life, not
really the physical ones,” he
added. “Sports and activities
that require timing, coordination,
and accuracy have always
worked well for me, so bowling
was a perfect choice.”
Since beginning Elmore
has steadily bowled in three
weekly leagues, one senior
league and then the other two
in more competitive night
leagues on Mondays and Thursdays
at Oil Bowl in Longview.
He began averaging in the low
to mid 160s his first few years
in the sport, and since then,
has surpassed 190 a few times,

Plainview is a town of just
over 22,000 and is located
about 75 miles south of Amarillo.

On November 13, 2011, a
few months shy of his 80th
birthday, Elmore accomplished
the ultimate feat for a bowler
in a local senior tournament.
Elmore strung together twelve
strikes for his first, and only,
perfect 300 game, surpassing
his previous high of 279.
“It was a great feat, something
that was definitely a goal
as a bowler, and now I’ve done
it,” Elmore said. “I was excited
and very emotional after, and
was at a loss for words.”

strikes, and then at 9, I really
just couldn’t believe I could
get to 9,” he said about how
the game progressed. “I wasn’t
feeling very much pressure and
stepped up in the 10th frame
and just did the same thing I
had done all game and threw
all 3 strikes and I had it.”
Elmore added that he did
have one Brooklyn strike in the
seventh frame, but the other 11
were real good solid strikes.

I am writing this from New
Jersey where I’m one round
into the U.S. open. I decided to
give the benefits of the inside
scoop to the tournament that I
will make this a two part series
so I can give some specific
details to those who want to
know.
My travels began Sunday
afternoon as we headed out to
the airport for a 4 p.m. flight
to Newark, NJ. My first hurdle
was cleared as my dad has
accepted the unenviable task
of dog and house sitting for
us while we go out of town.
He was also nice enough to
take us to the airport so I
really appreciated that, because
travelling with eight bowling
balls and a suitcase can be
difficult enough, but to walk
from the parking garage to the
skycap with all that stuff is
even worse.
The plane ride went smoothly
and I ended up on the same
flight as Wes Malott.
After we landed he had a
mix up with his rental car so
I drove him around to other
rental car places to try and find
the one that Tommy Jones had
reserved for them. Obviously
I didn’t need a huge car so I
rented a compact and it was
pretty humorous to see Big
Wes with his knees all up in

the dashboard of my Mazda 2

After that we located our
hotel and turned in for the
night as I bowl practice session
at 8 a.m. Monday morning.
It was really good to bowl
practice session because I got
a feel for the approaches and
the environment I would be
bowling in. Even with all the
regionals that I’ve bowled in,
it’s still a bit intimidating to
see all the tour stars and other
talented players. I look around
and I see the high rev, rip
and grip it guys as well as the
“straight is great” players and
we all had one thing in common…none
of us could strike
very much.
The conditions were extremely
difficult and it seemed
as though the oil moved
around almost every shot. I
would find a ball that rolled
good and a couple of shots later
I would hit the three pin in the
face. Since I had bowled the
U.S. Open previously I had an
idea of what I would see, and
as it turns out I was right.
The tracer down the lane
at the tenth board served as
out of bounds. If your ball
travelled right of that mark
you had zero chance of getting
it to hook. I used a couple
of balls with a lot of surface

and they just looked like they
were rolling on ice. Therefore
I moved in and about midway
through practice I was able to
consistently hit the pocket with
strong balls with surface from
inside around the 22nd board
at the arrows keeping my break
point at about 13 down the
lane. However, my errant shots
were the ones that leaked right
and they would never recover.
I decided that I was satisfied
with my game plan and took
off for a night on the town in
New York City.
I had never been to New
York City, but Nikki had so
she was essentially my tour
guide. Since we only had about
ten hours we wanted to see as
much as we could.
My first impression was how
cool the trains and the subway
system are in New York and
New Jersey. I can assure you
I would take full advantage of
it if we had a similar system
here. It really didn’t matter
where you are in the city you
can just go underground, catch
a subway and pop up on the
other side of town just a few
minutes later.
I also thought that the
subway was much safer than
I had anticipated. I expected
to dodge a mugging or knifing
at every other stop, but was
so impressed with how fluid
everything runs. I will say
that if you enjoy your personal
space stay far, far away from
New York City because frankly
there is not enough room for
personal space!
We were able to ride the
Staten Island Ferry and see the
Statue of Liberty which was a
really neat and emotional experience.
After we passed right in
front Nikki immediately went
to the map to find our next
stop and I had slow her down
and tell her I was still soaking
in the Statue of Liberty.
We then made our way
to Times Square and walked
around, but were disappointed
at the lack of restaurants to eat
at so we made our way back
to Madison Square Garden
where the New York Knicks
were playing the New Jersey
Nets that night and people
were going crazy about Jeremy
Lin. We grabbed a hot dog and
some almonds from a street
vendor and caught the train
home so I could get some rest
before I bowled “A” squad at 8
a.m. Monday morning. (Editors
Note: Daceman didn’t make the
cut at the US Open, he finished
in 148th place. All in all he
did bowl pretty good and was
within 10 pins of the cut with
four games to go, but just like
he said, a lot can happen in the
blink of an eye.)
USBC Open Championships
underway in Baton Rouge
The 2012 United States
Bowling Congress Open Championships
has started in Baton
Rouge, La., and the first of
more than 60,000 bowlers have
left their marks on the 109th
edition of the tournament.
Ed Seliga of Kenosha, Wis.,
turned in a memorable performance
and left the Baton Rouge
River Center as the leader in
every Regular Division event.
He and his Seliga’s Pro Shop
teammates still own the top
spot in team (3,042), singles
(719), all-events (1,969) and
Team All-Events (9,020).

a game plan.
He and his teammates also
were among the first to visit
USBC Silver coach Bill Hall on
the tournament’s Showcase
Lanes. All five team members
spent an hour with Hall practicing
on the same lane surface
and lane condition they would
face on the Open Championships
lanes.
“Bill Hall and the Showcase
Lanes were a great addition
to the tournament, and the
session really helped us get a
better idea of what we needed
to do,” said Seliga, whose pro
shop is at Kenosha’s Guttormsen’s
Recreation Center. “It was

Tammy McFarland
This week’s high female is
Tammy McFarland with 258-
280-258 for a 796 series in the
Pepsi Classic league at
Plano Super Bowl. Tammy has
worked at Aetna Insurance
for the last 11 years and has
two daughters, Brittani, Ariel
but they don’t bowl much. Her
husband Dale handles all of
the bowling, except it seems
he’s the second best McFarland
these days.
What is your high series?
This is it, my previous high
was 792.
How many 300’s have you
bowled? Two, and one 299.
Thoughts on your big night? I
went over to the ITRC training
center, and worked with Kim
Terrell. I’ve been working on
the tips she gave me and they
have really been helping. In
practice that night I was going
high then changed ball, moved
left and never had to move my
feet the rest of the night. Dale
has been helping with moving
around, convincing me to move
deeper and it’s been working
too. The last game I knew I had
a shot at 800 but missed too far
right on a shot in the ninth and
it went high.
What ball did you throw?
The Hammer Taboo Pearl.
Who drills your balls? This
one was drilled by Bryan
O’Keefe at the ITRC Training
center, but most of my stuff is
drilled by Andrew Lowy at Up
Your Alley Pro Shop in AMF
DeSoto.
What is your all-time favorite
bowling ball? The Hammer Hot
Sauce, both of my 300’s were
shot with that ball.
What is your all-time high
average? A 203 last year at
AMF Showplace Lanes Euless.
How long have you been
bowling? I’ve been bowling at
least 25 years. My mom was a
bowler; my sister was a good
bowler too so I picked it up
from there. Since I was in a
bowling center all the time, I
started bowling too.
Who is your favorite pro
bowler? I love to watch Michelle
Feldman bowl. I don’t know
what it is; I just love to watch
her bowl.
Most memorable bowling moment?
Shooting my first 300 at
the All Star tournament, it was
THE BOWLING NEWS | Thursday, March 1, 2012 | Page 3
so exciting. It was in front of a
bunch of people and I ended up
winning the tournament and it
was because of that game.
What lessons has the game
taught you? I have always kept
in mind that you can’t expect
to show up and do great. You
have to work hard at it and

and worked his way through
two elimination matches before
throwing his best game at the
hard-luck Rash, who was once
again plagued by a fatal error.
In the opening game of the
eliminator-format finals, Rash
led the four-man field with a
217 game. Barrett was right
behind with a 207. Hometown
favorite Dave Wodka of Henderson,
Nev., nipped Patrick
Allen of Baltimore, 177-173, to
remain in contention. Allen, as
low man, was eliminated.
In game two, Rash again
led the survivors, using a late
string of five strikes to post a

title match with a 214. Three
open frames led to a 164 game
and doomed Wodka’s hopes for
his second PBA Tour title.
Dom Barrett
In the title match, Rash
and Barrett both struck on six
of their first seven shots, but
Rash’s unconverted 2-4-8-10
split in the third frame gave
Barrett an 18-pin advantage.
Both players converted single
pin spares in the eighth and
ninth frames before Barrett
doubled in the 10th frame to
claim the $15,000 first prize
and a berth in the Round of
36 for the end-of-season PBA
Tournament of Champions.
“It’s a fantastic feeling,”
Barrett said. “I kind of got to
go through some of the emotions
with Stu (Williams) after
he won his title, and that gave
me a little insight about what
was going to happen to me if I
got this far.
“I just wanted to throw the
best 10 shots I could, and I
think most of them were pretty
good,” he added. “The thing
to remember is the lane is still
60 feet and there are 10 pins
at the other end, and you can’t
control your opponent. You
just have to make a good shot
yourself.”
For Rash and the United
States professionals, the loss
was another bitter disappointment.
In four straight
World Series of Bowling finals
appearances, Rash has finished
third in the PBA World Championship
and Bayer Viper Open,
and second in the Chameleon
and Scorpion Opens. He also
finished second to Mika
Koivuniemi in the WTBA
World Bowling Tour Finals to
kick off the World Series. And
the U.S. has yet to win a World
Series title. Following Koivuniemi’s
win in the WBT Finals
for Finland, fellow Finn Osku
Palermaa won the PBA World
Championship, England’s
Williams won the Bayer Viper
Open, and Australia’s Jason
Belmonte won the Chameleon
Open.
“If you were to roll the
calendar back 10 years, this
wouldn’t be happening,”
Barrett said of the surprising
international dominance. “But
we have so many international
tournaments now, and the PBA
Tour has opened events like the
World Series to international
players, that the experience
we’ve been able to get on the
European and Asian tours has
really meant a lot.

Scott Newell wins PBA
Ricart Ford Open
COLUMBUS, OH — Despite
rolling a gutter ball on his first
shot of the opening stepladder
match, Scott Newell of Deland,
Fla., quickly regained his
composure to win three consecutive
matches for the PBA
Ricart Ford Open presented by
Columbia 300 title Sunday at
Sequoia Pro Bowl.
The 28-year-old Newell won
his first Tour title by defeating
tournament leader and
one-time Tour winner Ryan
Ciminelli of Cheektowaga, N.Y.,
247-245, in a title match that
went down to the 10th frame.
Leaving the tricky 2-8 on the
first ball of the 10th frame,
Newell was able to make the
spare and then strike on the
final ball for the victory.
“I may have looked composed
on the outside but I
was shaking on the inside,”
said Newell, who owns three
regional Tour titles and a best
previous Tour finish of 12th. “I
just had to take a deep breath
and remind myself to stay
focused and do what I do best.”

themselves,” Newell said. “A
lot of people say you have the
ability and you can get it done
but it’s just a great relief when
you finally do.”
In the first frame of the
opening stepladder match
against Dom Barrett of England,
Newell threw the gutter
ball after it hit his ankle which
he admitted was a sign of his
nervousness. He regained his
composure enough to then
make the spare and went on to
defeat Barrett 255-202.
“It was just a matter of
getting too quick with my feet
and my timing was off,” Newell
said. “It was probably good
that I made that mistake right
away because I could then put
it behind me and get on with
the rest of the match.”Barrett
was looking for his second
PBA Tour title after winning
the PBA Scorpion Open which,
ironically, was aired on an
ESPN taped-delayed telecast
earlier in the day. The Ricart
Ford Open was the second
PBA Tour event streamed live
exclusively on pba.com’s Xtra
Frame online bowling channel.
Two more Xtra Frame events
are scheduled during the
remainder of the season.

This stuff puts my
truth-o-meter in the red!
I hit the pocket
That’s not quite all it takes
to strike. You’ve got to have
a higher standard than just
hitting the pocket. It takes
the proper angle, speed, and
rotation to carry. If any one of
those things is off, something
will be standing.
Angle - USBC studies
indicate that the optimum
entry angle into the pocket is
around 4 to 6 degrees. That
would be great knowledge to
have if we knew where the ball
needed to break to create 4 or
5 or 6 degrees of entry angle.
Thinking that the ball should
have been on the 9th board at
44 feet, 3¼ inches instead of
the 9th board at 44 feet, 3½
inches is enough minutiae to
get you off your game. If you
really have to be that perfect,
you hope everyone else does
as well. We really just need to
know when it’s too much and
when it’s too little.
Speed - It’s pretty easy to
have too much or too little.
There can be some variation
in “just right”, of course.
We’ve all seen grandma or the

between-the-legs kid hit the
pocket. They just didn’t have
the speed to benefit from a
pocket hit. Sometimes 17.6 mph
will carry just as well as 17.8 if
the angle and rotation are okay.
Still, when you have discovered
the speed that gets you to the
hole and carries well, it’s better
to have as little variation as
possible.
Rotation - If you have the
right speed and angle into the
pocket and the wrong axis
rotation, your carry percentage
will be lower than it would be
otherwise. Axis rotation not

and pattern, it helps or hinders
how your ball travels through
the pins.
To say you “hit the pocket”
may be technically correct, but
in the real bowling world, it’s
just not enough.
I can’t carry
Tough gig, this I Can’t Carry
Land. Is anyone else carrying?
I’m not talking about the guy
with 500 revs a few lanes
down. I’m talking about the
overall scoring environment of
the tournament or your league
outing for most of the players.

Here’s the scenario:
a) You are bowling in a league/
tournament that is more
competitive than social
b) You are not carrying
c) Most folks, while not having
career nights, are certainly
not lowering their average
If those things are true and
everyone but you seems to
have a wide pocket, you need
to change something - laydown
point, angle, speed, equipment,
rotation, or which part of the
lane you’re playing. You have
lots of choices about WHAT to
change. You’ll need to discern
which of your myriad opportunities
gives you the best
chance.
There’s no need to have
a goal of 220 when a lot less
than that will get the job done.
In fact, having a goal that is a
number is a limit. The real goal
is “enough”. You want to shoot
whatever it takes to cash, make
the cut, win, etc. Any number
goal is a barrier.
Pressing for carry when the
scoring pace is low and the
pocket is about the size of a
spaghetti noodle will give you
one of those instant 170-something
games. You know the
kind. You can’t double so you
press for the perfect hit and
you split. One open and no
doubles = 170-something.
When the scoring pace is
tough, you can’t recover from a
game like that. In fact, a 180+
game in that scoring environment
will often lap the field.
Don’t give up the pocket when
scores are low. Hit the hole and
stay clean.

Marshall Kulow wins SASBA
tournament in first try
By Jim King
SASBA Singles held at AMF
Sheridan Lanes in Tulsa, OK
February 18-19.
Marshall Kulow (OKC)
stayed close to the lead all during
qualifying and in the finals
and was in 3rd place entering
the title round. Tam Wasson
was the leader, but only 14 pins
ahead of Mark Williams, who
was perfect in match play.
Richard Krecek hammered
out a power-laden 267-251-218 =

Marshall was facing Pete

USA Bowling develops
summer camp programs
ARLINGTON — Bowling
centers, youth league directors
and local associations looking
to grow their business this
summer can reach every skill
level in the youth market with
a new USA Bowling Summer
Camp program.
Summer camps, particularly
sports camps, are increasing
in popularity as a way for kids
to experience new ventures,
develop their skills and have
fun. With more than 20 million
children bowling at least
once a year, the International
Bowling Campus (IBC) Youth
Development team announced
a step-by-step guide to
implementing a successful
USA Bowling Summer Camp
program.
The guides are free and
available to any proprietor or
volunteer interested in boosting
their youth participation this
summer. Proprietors also have
the option of using the curriculum
ideas to build their own
custom program.
“The camps were created
with every child in mind,

with Las Cruces native Christa Harvey making the all-tournament team with Cindy. WT
won all three conference tournaments on both sides, so for the Championship WT just had
to place in the top 6 to win the overall Championship. The SWIBC Championship was held in
College Station TX February 10-12.
West Texas did not disappoint, the men and women finished off a great season in
the SWIBC with a clean sweep on both sides. On the men side it came down to WT and
Texas A&M, and WT took the exciting match in game 5 with senior Stephen Planer from
Oklahoma City throwing a crucial double in the tenth to win. On the women’s side WT
dominated LSU and took the match in 3 games. Wendy Shelton from Albuquerque NM led
all women in qualifying with a 201 average. Joining Wendy on the all-tournament team was
Christa Harvey from Las Cruces NM. Wendy also won the singles division of the Championships
with a three game series of 650. Making All-Conference team on the men’s side
was senior Stephen Planer from Oklahoma City. On the women’s side for All-Conference
were Christa Harvey and Wendy Shelton. And Wendy also won Player of the Year in SWIBC
Conference for 2011-12 season.
For six weeks in a row the Bowlin’ Buffs have been on the road, after Baton Rouge we
headed north to South Bend IN to compete in the longest running tournament in college
bowling, The Blue and Gold Classic. The women cracked the top ten with a 9th place finish,
and the men just missed the top ten by finishing in 12th place. Stephen Planer from
Oklahoma City led WT men with a 220 average. Christa Harvey from Las Cruces NM led
WT women with a 191 average.

tournament. West Texas women finished in
top third with a 27th place finish, the men

It’s not often that we get to
see bowling in the main stream
media, so I was shocked when
I saw an article about 14-yearold
Kamron Doyle pop up in
The New York Times online
sports section. Doyle was one
of 11 bowlers under the age of
18 who competed in Bowling’s
U.S. Open this week. Youth
bowlers are now allowed to
compete in adult competition
and maintain their amateur
eligibility by designating that
any prize money earned will
be deposited into their USBC
SMART scholarship accounts. I
know several youth bowlers in
our area have started competing
in SWPBT tournaments and
other DFW scratch events. It’s
really great to see some of the
young talent test their skills
and actually succeed in these
events.
Kamron Doyle
Kamron Doyle, who is a
member of Junior Team USA,
not only competed this week at
the U.S. Open, but he definitely
succeeded. After three days
of qualifying, he was one of
98 bowlers in a field of 394
competitors to advance to the
cashers round. Doyle also
became the youngest bowler
ever to cash in a PBA National
Tour event. Two years ago,
at age 12, he became the
youngest ever to cash in a PBA
regional event and this week
definitely tops that. Doyle not
only cashed at a National Tour
event, but a Major, and arguably
the toughest tournament
of all of the tour events. The
eighth grader averaged over
200 for his 28 games of competition
on very demanding lane
conditions and finished with a
5220 total pinfall for 61st place
and $1,340 for his scholarship
account.
Most bowlers who excel
at an early age are born into
a family of bowlers or have a
family that owns or works in a
bowling center. They grow up
in a bowling center. Not Doyle.
Neither of his parents bowl
and he was first introduced to
the sport at a birthday party at
the age of seven. Obviously his
parents have been supportive
of his bowling passion as they
installed two lanes in the
basement of their home back in
November. How many of you
are as jealous as I am? How
great would it be to have a pair
of lanes to go downstairs and
throw a few games of practice
each day? Or even better, to be
able to have friends over for a
bowling party or some friendly
pot games! With two lanes
at home, I’m sure we will be
seeing a whole lot more of this
phenomenal kid.
Another record was broken
this week at the U.S. Open;
Missy Parkin became the first
woman to ever reach match
play. They still have 16 games
of match play to bowl as I am
writing this, but wherever she
finishes will be the highest finish
ever by a female competitor.
Parkin is no stranger to
competing with the men.
During college, she competed
a couple of years on the men’s
team at California State
University-Fullerton, as there
weren’t enough women to field
a team and she was named to
the All-Tournament team in the
men’s division at the Intercollegiate
Bowling Championships.
When they first opened up
the PBA membership to female
competitors, Missy Parkin was
the first one to join. She has
also become the first woman to
win two Regional PBA titles.
Last month, at the USBC
Masters, Parkin finished 9th

setting the record for the highest
finish by a woman in the
history of that event as well.
As the reining USBC Queens
champion, Missy Parkin is
a serious contender in any
bowling competition. You
can see her and many, many
other amazing women bowlers
compete this April 19-24 at
AMF Showplace Euless for the
2012 USBC Queens.
We have a couple of DFW’s
own local stars still bowling in
the top 24 for match play of the
U.S. Open. After the first eight
games of the match play finals,
local area bowler Michael
Fagan is sitting in second with
16 more games to go. You can
see why this is one of the most
difficult tournaments of the
PBA tour; besides the demanding
lane conditions, players
have to bowl 50 games to get
to the final top 4 that make the
television show.
As I write this they have 16
games left to bowl and Chris
Barnes is currently in 4th but
is only 15 pins ahead of the
fifth place bowler. There is a
100-pin gap between 5th and
6th place, so with some more
good bowling in the last 16
games we can hope to see
both Barnes and Fagan on the
show for another Major title.
Not to leave anyone out, Dino
Castillo is currently in 16th
place. The more difficult the
lane conditions are the higher
Dino finishes it seems. And,
rounding out the Southwest
players is Jesse Buss from
Wichita, KS, whom Del says is
the best looking guy on tour.
He’s currently in 12th.
Editor’s note: at press time,
Fagan was in 1st place, Barnes
in 7th, Buss in 16th, and
Castillo in 18th. The top 4 go to
the TV finals on Sunday.
Where did Daceman finish?
I’m kidding. My hat’s off to
all the guys who take a shot
on the brutal lane conditions
against the best in the world.
And Daceman did great; he
finished in 148th, just outside
of the top third of the field.

Two Texans to receive USBC Recognition Awards
ARLINGTON — Donna
Conners of Houston and Sue
Hunter of Alamo, Texas, have
been selected to receive 2012
United States Bowling Congress
Recognition Awards.
Conners is the Joyce
Deitch Unity Award winner
and Hunter has been named
the Helen Baker Outstanding
Association Service Award
recipient. The selections were
made by the USBC Board of
Directors and the winners
will be formally recognized at
the 2012 USBC Convention in
Arlington, Texas, in April.
Conners started the Luci
Bonneau Memorial Striking
Against Breast Cancer Mixed
Doubles Tournament in 2000
and it has been a sellout each
Donna Conners
year. The tournament benefits
the Stehlin Foundation for
Cancer Research and has
raised more than $300,000. The
tournament, which has grown
to 84 doubles team and three
pro-am squads, annually brings
in top competitors and many
well-know professional bowlers.
Conners said her focus for
the tournament always will be
on the players first, because
“without the players there
would be no pro-am; without
the pro-am, we would have no
money for charity.” She also created
a youth scholarship tournament
that ran from 2005-2008.
The event featured a difficult
Sport shot and strict dress code
to help prepare the bowlers for
higher levels of competition.
“I had never given it much
thought about winning an
award for something that I
have such a passion for doing,”
said Conners, a USBC Silver
coach who has been named
to the Bowlers Journal Top
Coaches list for the last six
years. “I’m so honored to be
thought of and chosen for this
award, and to be amongst all
those before and who will be
coming in after me.”
Hunter started bowling in a
league in 1966 and was asked
to attend an association meeting.
She was elected associa-
tion secretary and has been
involved with the sport since.
She would eventually serve
as president of the Hidalgo
County Association for 18 years
and president of the Texas
Sue Hunter
Women’s Bowling Association
for five years. She was the first
and second vice president,
treasurer and director on the
Texas Women’s BA.
Hunter currently serves as
president of the Texas State
USBC, a position she has held
since the association merged
five years ago. David Fields,
president of the Greater Pasadena
(Texas) USBC, said Hunter
has provided calm leadership
and set a high standard for all
future leaders.
“This is my last year as
president of the Texas USBC
so this is icing on my cake,”
Hunter said. “I will still be
involved because I love this
game. Bowling has given me so
many friends.”
Hunter has competed in 31
national tournaments and served
as a delegate to 27 national
meetings. She is a Texas State
USBC Hall of Fame member.
The Joyce Deitch Unity Award
is named for the seventh president
of the Women’s International
Bowling Congress (WIBC)
to recognize organizations and
individuals who have made important
contributions to bowling
by being motivators, visionaries,
leaders and innovators.
The Helen Baker Outstanding
Association Service Award
is named for the former WIBC’s
fifth president. It annually
recognizes an outstanding
bowling leader who has made
invaluable contributions to local
and state associations as an
innovator, creator and mentor
of adult programs.

Griner in the same category as
Woods, but they are currently
dominating the sport pages.
Bowling will never dominate
the sport pages, but we
used to have bowlers we
considered legends, and we
had bowlers we expected to
see winning on a regular basis.
What ever happened to that?
Remember when we knew
that we would see Mark Roth,
or Marshall Holman, Earl
Anthony, Walter Ray Williams,
Jr, Pete Weber, or Parker Bohn
III on the telecast?
Greats like Mike Aulby,
Amleto Monacelli, and Brian
Voss ensured us great Sunday
bowling.
Lately it’s a different winner
each week and many are from
other countries. What’s happened
to our professionals and
why don’t we have at least one
dominant player. Sure Sean
Rash has been on television
probably more than anyone
this year, but he hasn’t won
anything and he didn’t make a
lot of friends and fans with his
“bottlegate” rant.
I’m sure the exempt program
hurt the PBA. I believe
some bowlers actually walked
away because of the exempt
program. Now that the exempt
program is gone can we expect
someone, anyone to step up
and dominate the sport and put
butts in the seats?
There are some out there
with that ability, but I wonder
if the desire is there. I thought
Chris Barnes, Wes Malott,
Tommy Jones, Patrick Allen,
Bill O’Neill, or Jason Couch
could be that bowler, now I
wonder. From my perspective
I could watch Pete Weber
every Sunday. Unfortunately
he is fast approaching the age
for the senior tour. So I ask
the question asked by George
Jones, “Who’s Gonna Fill Their
Shoes?”
x/x/x/
I had the opportunity to talk
to Jimmy Thompson the other
day and he informed me that
after 22 years in the bowling
Pro-Shop business he is closing
down his Bowlerama shop and
leaving the bowling business.
“My brother is sick, my kids
are in Austin, and I just want
to get back home and see more
of them,” he said. He tells me
he will be working for the
Miller Brewing company in
their sales division.
For many of us who used
Jimmy’s service and talent
for many years we are sad to
see him go. Many of us drove
to Austin and then to Round
Rock to have work done on our
equipment and he was always
a total professional and a good
friend.
His move to Killeen was
brought about out of necessity
not created by him. While
in a partnership with Robert
Lawrence they operated the
Pro-Shop at Showplace Lanes
in Austin. When AMF took
over the operation there was
a steady decline in league
bowling which brought about
a decline in his customer
base. They moved the shop to
Interstate Lanes in Round Rock
only to see the center close.
Jimmy, now the sole owner of
the shop decided to look at the
Killeen area. He opened his
shop at Killeen Bowlerama, but
once again the customer base
just wasn’t there.
“I spent a lot of money to
try and make it work, but it
just didn’t happen. My wife
has better job opportunities in
Austin, and I just can’t continue
this way.”
His fans and friends certainly
understand his reasoning.

Bowling Update
From Tenpins & More
* Cleveland Storm bowling
head coach, Jim Tillery,
was mentally exhausted after
leading and encouraging his
eight-person squad to their
third straight state championship
in 5A at Tenpins & More.
They beat Eldorado, Volcano
Vista, Rio Rancho and Mayfield
after leading the qualifier with
3,016 (201.0 average per bowler
per game) over Manzano 2,759
(183.9), Rio Rancho 2,745
(183.0) and Mayfield 2,627
(175.1).
The team never dropped a
game, going 2-0 in each round,
a testimony to the coaching
technique Tillery and his
assistants instilled in the youth
over the past 17 weeks.
As in the football finals,
Mayfield and Rio Rancho took
the second and third place
trophies.
Three of Tillery’s group
were named to the All-State
team, being Janeyl Carper, Josh
Helmick and Tim Baribeau.
Other local area bowlers so
named included Ben and Olivia
Stedman, Rebecca Finch, Hannah
Dowd and Brittany Leiby,

worked in part of the center

league bowlers like me were
competing against people like
PDW. The RRD was held after
the end of the PBA National
Tour and many of the PBA
stars came to bowl. Barnes,
PDW, and several regional
players loved the event.
I tried it one other time
when it was in Plano, but it
just wasn’t the same. I never

the RRD was a tougher event

working in the newspaper
printing industry, a nearly
60-year career he enjoyed until
he retired at the age of 77.
He spent time working with
various newspapers in the East
Texas area, as well as a short
three month stint in the Dallas
area, one he had to cut short
because he did not enjoy the
big city lifestyle and its traffic.
Elmore began his own printing
company in 1964, and for
the next 44 years until he retired
he ran his successful company.
“To me, one of the most
exciting things to hear is a
newspaper press,” Elmore said.
“I began working at the age of
10, all the way until 77, and
much of that time was spent in
printing and I enjoyed every
minute of it.”
Now without work and kids
to take up much of his time, he
spends it on the lanes competing
and trying to get better. He
attributes his even keel attitude,
maturity and patience as the
keys that allow him to keep
competing at a high level, as
well as his physical conditioning.
“I see these younger guys
with a lot of talent who
are very hot headed and
often times with bad attitudes
towards the game, and I’m just
the opposite,” said Elmore. “It’s
why I feel I can compete with
these younger guys, because as
soon as they make that mistake,
I know I can get them.”
Elmore is looking to build
on his recent success on the
lanes and has no plans of slowing
down anytime soon.
“I’ve been bowling pretty
good, and may even shoot
another 300 soon,” Elmore
concluded. “I also want to get
over the hump and beat my
high series of 699 and break
that 700 barrier.”

THE LIGHTS ARE ON
Continued from Page 1
Mark has been the manager
at Eastridge Lanes for the last
five years, working directly for
Trieber,” He has been a great
teacher and I learned so much
about running a center from
him. He has been the best boss
I’ve ever had,” he said.
The husband and wife duo
have been working hard since
day one getting the center up
and going and into the shape
they would like. “Our first goal
is to get all of the lanes up
and running but at the same
time we are working on the
snack bar, game room and Pro
Shop. We are hoping to have
everything up and running by
March 1st,” Waters added.
As for where the entertainment
dollars in Plainview go,
there’s a movie theater and a
skating rink and that’s about
it. The bowling center has been
closed for about two years now,
and it appears that it made the
city hungry for the game of
bowling. “Tuesday night has
been our slowest night, but
we’re still on a waiting list that
night. We honestly don’t have
a slow night; birthday parties
are booked through March
and work parties too. It’s been
Plainview Bowling Center
overwhelming; I’ve not done
any advertising besides Facebook
and word of mouth but
we’ve been busy since the day
we opened the door, it’s like
the old days, but I know that
I need to continue to market,”
Mark said.
The Waters clan is also
very interested in High School
bowling as their 15-year-old
daughter Melissa is a sophomore
at Plainview High School.
Lubbock is 45 miles away but
doesn’t have a high school
bowling team either so they are
looking to try and promote it at
all neighboring schools.
Aside from the open play
and the potential for high
school bowling, Waters says
his heart is in league play, and
the Tuesday league he started
is doing great. There have also
been meetings for two other
leagues that are ready to start
in the fall. Bowling is clearly
the center of attention, and
the Waters family obviously
picked the right time to open
the doors.
It’s great to see the rebirth
of a bowling center in a small
Texas town, and even better to
see a town embrace the game
of bowling. Good luck to Mark
and Gwene as they bring the
great sport of bowling back to
Plainview, Texas.

DIANE PARRISH-WHITE
Continued from Page 1
so supportive of my bowling
and I’m glad that I was able
to spend those two years with
her.” She passed away in May
of last year.
Earlier this year Parrish-
White felt that she needed
something to help fill her time
and decided she wanted to go
back to work, part-time in the
bowling business.
She saw Pin Center Owner,
Stacie Parrish(no relation) on
Facebook, and asked her if
she needed some help. Parrish
jumped at the chance to
include a bowling business
veteran at her center, and told
Diane to “Come-on.”
“Diane is heaven sent and
I’m excited beyond measure
that one of the great names of
bowling has been brought back
into the world of bowling. I
hope to revive more like her.
Kathy LeCroy is next on my
list,” said Stacie Parrish.
Stacie was raised into one of
the greatest bowling families
this area and this game has
ever seen. She affectionately
refers to herself as “the Slaughter
Daughter” as her father,
Wyatt and mother, Sherri have
been industry leaders in every
possible facet of the game. She
watched her parents operate
Alpine Lanes, her father run
the LPBT tour, and her mother
dominate on the lanes for
decades. She was born to own
and run a bowling center, and
was trained by the best. Her
hope is to bring back the best
in the business to make her
new center shine in the mold of
what bowling once was.
“Stacie has been doing a
great job with Pin Center. She’s
made bowling feel like it used
to be with the small-town,
homey feel. The center is clean,
the machines run good, and
the lanes are in great shape.
The customers come in and
really have a great time, and I
just love being here,” Parrish-
White added.
Diane has some great
experience in the business of
bowling, working at a few of
the great Fort Worth centers
through the years. She started
at DC Beach working for the
legendary Bill Harris, “He
was a treasure, I wouldn’t
have been anything if it
wouldn’t have been for that
man.” She also worked at DC
Southwest(Cityview now) and
said that was probably where
she enjoyed working the most.
She started at Pin Center
on January 13th and has been
working part-time on weekend
shifts, if you call 36 hours
in three days, part-time. The
16-lane center is located about
30 miles south of Fort Worth
in Cleburne, just off of I-35 on
Highway 67.
Even though she hasn’t
bowled in many years, she still
THE BOWLING NEWS | Thursday, March 1, 2012 | Page 23
stays very busy in her spare
time. She’s a new mom, only
her child is a 5-year-old horse.
She adopted a mare from east
Texas about 6 years ago, then
found out that the mare was
pregnant. She ended up giving
the mare away and keeping the
foal, and they’ve been through
it all she said. Even so much so
that the horse is what’s keeping
her from bowling. Not because
she’s too busy, but because he
fell on her last year and injured
her shoulder to the point where
she doesn’t feel she could toss

the ball up to her standards.
And Parrish-White does
have high standards. She’s
always been one of the most
competitive bowlers you will
find, and she got to grow up
and learn from the best. “Kat
LeCroy and Mudd Anderton,
they both had so much class
and were just legends around
this area. I just wish I had
been more of a student of the
game like them,” she said.

Entry deadline extended for
2012 Women’s Championships
ARLINGTON — There’s
no experience like competing
on the lanes at the National
Bowling Stadium, and more
than 30,000 bowlers already
are scheduled to be in Reno,
Nev., for the 2012 United States
Bowling Congress Women’s
Championships.
Those who have not yet
entered still have time to be
part of the action as the entry
deadline has been extended to
April 1. There are even some
weekend spots available for the
event, which begins April 14
and will run for 86 consecutive
days, concluding July 8.
“Walking down Center
Aisle at the National Bowling
Stadium is something every
bowler should experience,
and Reno has proven to be an
enjoyable vacation destination
for people of all interests,” said
Brian Lewis, USBC’s Managing
Director of Tournaments.
“We’re on track for another
successful tournament in 2012,
but we’ve chosen to extend

Last month the editorial
staff at The Bowling News
inadvertently left out the setup
and conclusion of the “Fire Side
Chat with the Scroggs”. We are
going to run the interview and
story again this month in its
entirety. As a special added
bonus, please enjoy the classic
picture of the Scroggins brothers,
circa 1984.
Welcome to a jam-packed
edition of Loving Left Handedness,
a column about lefties,
written by lefties, and for the
enjoyment of (mostly) all of us.
This month I had the opportunity
to catch up and sit down
with two left-handers who need
no introduction in the bowling
community. Mike Scroggins
has over a million dollars in
PBA earnings and holds eight
national PBA titles including
the 2005 USBC Masters and
2009 US Open. Mark Scroggins
has been successful professionally
as well with accolades that
include PBA Rookie of the Year,
exempt status on tour, and
ten PBA regional titles. This
dynamic duo are both active in
coaching as well, Mark is head
coach for the West Texas A&M
University Bowling Buffaloes
and brother Mike with the
Randall Raiders High School
Bowling Team. They were kind
enough to sit down with me
at a very busy time for both
of them. Mike is packing to
head out for the second half of
the 2011-2012 PBA Tour and
Mark is preparing his Men
and Women’s Teams for a
tournament run that including
a bid for the USBC Collegiate
National Championships...
LLH: You are both gearing
up for a competitive season,
how do you like your chances?
Mike: Good, my ankle has
been bothering me so I didn’t
really think I’d make a show in
the World Series (of Bowling)
and I did, and I feel like I’m
throwing it OK other than (my
ankle) that.
Mark: My team is about as
strong as they have been in the
past six or seven years…I have
no question about us making it
to Nationals and doing well.
LLH: Mike If you had to go
to a tournament with one ball
right now what would it be?
Mike: Wow, that a tough
one.
Mark: What?!?
LLH: Mark you seem
surprised by Mike reservation,
maybe you should answer that
for him.
Mark: I’d just say anything
with surface…
Mike: Ha ha (sarcastically)
is this going to be two against

one? You’re limiting me
because I’m use to taking 12-15

making me choose one ball I’d
have to say the Columbia 300

LLH: Mark who is your

all-time? Not yourself…
Mark: Well as a bowler I
always thought Earl Anthony
was the greatest thing since

I also liked Steve Young
(San Fransico 49’s 1990’s
Quarterback).
LLH: Steve was also a late
round pick in my 2011 all lefty

I finished last this year).

nitely for me too, other than
bowling Phil Mickelson, but
you gotta go with Earl first.
LLH: Do you think Earl had
an advantage in bowling?
Mike: Oh No…I think he
had a disadvantage. From
the stories I heard, and all of
the whispering and chatter
behind his back, it must have
really weighed on him. Many
times he would be the only
lefty to make the top 24 and
people would still say the left
was walled up. It does weigh
on your mind after a while
(speaking from experience).
LLH: Earl didn’t appear to
let it affect him.
Mike and Mark: I don’t
think it did, we never saw it
but if you asked his wife I’m
sure she could tell some stories

takeaway from that.
Mark: Me too, he used to
say “if they ain’t talking about
ya, they ain’t worried about
ya.” So even today if I hear the
chatter that’s my signal. People
get so worked up about lane
conditions, on the left and right
side; let your bowling do the
talking. Why waste the energy
griping about something you
can’t change? I think everyone
is going to have an advantage
at any tournament…someone is
going to run into their wheelhouse
eventually and have an
advantage.

explain?
Mark: Lucky…for my wife,
my friends, and my job…I
thoroughly enjoy waking up
and going to work every day.
Honest…my friends would say
I’m honest. And experienced…
Mike: Experienced at
what???
Mark: I’m old enough to
have experienced…enough.
Mike: OK
LLH: How about you Mike?
Mike: Determined…I
wanted to make it out on tour
and I did. What’s that Rodney
Dangerfield line? Can’t get no
respect? That’s one I strive
for and don’t get enough of. I
know I don’t have the game
everyone else has but I’m
goal-oriented and determined
to make it work. Even if I don’t
get the respect I deserve
LLH: Maybe that’s part of
what fuels your fire and keeps
the fire in your belly?
Mark: Sounds like he has
an axe to grind.
LLH: This isn’t the forum for
that, save it for the tour guys;
let’s switch gears and cool it
down a little.
LLH: OK then how are your
most different?
Mark: I have a better
personality than he does…he’s
Mr. Serious.
Mike: Oh yeah here we go,
he has a worse temper than
I do…his temper is horrible,
he gets mad in league. Every
Monday night we have to calm
him down. Man take a chill
pill…
LLH: So do you like to dress
alike?
Mike and Mark: (Blank
stares and shaking heads
emphatically NO.)
LLH: OK we won’t go there...
(see insert picture Mike on the
left, Mark on the right taken the
day of this interview)
LLH: Last question is a
simple one…If you try to fail
and succeed which have you
actually accomplished, success
or failure?
Mike: I thought you said
this was simple? I feel like

glass half empty question.

I’ve been successful.

I as king figuratively.

officially covered it all and I
need to flee while some of my
sanity is still intact. I’m voting
myself off the island, thanks for
the time!
