bob, since you have bowled side-by-side with some of the greats of the game this question is for you. can the current cream of the crop from the amateur ranks join the pba and dominate them ? there seems to be many people who think that amatuers like tim mack, david haynes, bill hoffman, etc. would dominate the pba tour if only they joined. my opinion is no they wouldn't. chris barnes, robert smith, patrick healey, jr., brian kretzer, brad angelo, etc., all had their ups and downs with only barnes being a consistently dominating player. bob, please give us your thoughts !
