Fero Williams
« on: March 23, 2014, 12:14:23 PM »
I read up about this guy,and his stats are amazing.My question is,is he the real deal or just a product of soft house conditions . If he is that good why is he not making money on the tour.I also read somewhere that his sport average is around 186.If thats true it makes me feel good cuz mine is a paltry 175.So those of you who might know him feel free to weigh in...This is no way a shot at him or his stats so i hope its not taken that way....thanks

If they posted on this site they probably would.

Would someone that played golf question if a guy that was runner-up at the US Amateur and played on the Walker Cup team was a good golfer or if somebody that made it into the bracket at the US Open was a good tennis player?

Anyone have updated career stats on Fero or any of the other top 300/800 guys. Last time I checked on bowl.com they hadn't updated the records in a season or two. A guy in my area had been making his way up both the career 300 and 800 list. He did bowl the tour for a while and has a national title.

Working an 8-5 and being a "weekend warrior" is the smartest way to go about it.  There isn't any money to be made on the PBA tour, and even those guys bowl as much other stuff as they can, they don't make their money on tour.

I want to bowl on the Fero Williams pattern. I didn't know they modified shots for certain people. Watch out for the pattern they name after ME!

I have bowled against Fero before in league.  He is the real deal.  Fero has a great game.

Kinda thread jacking now but how much money is there to made in brackets and side pots on the tour and the major tourneys. I really have no clue. Belmonte won 40000? for the masters win that everyone knows but how much can be made in all the brackets and extras in a major like this?  How about the smaller tour events?  Again I have no idea just curious.

I was unaware that there was anything extra in the tournaments . . I think it's just the standard prize fund based on placement.

Which is again why there's not much money to be made on the PBA.  The "weekend warriors" LIVE on brackets and sidepots.  I can think of exactly two tournaments I've gone to where the tournament payout exceeded the amount I made on brackets. 

A couple years ago at Nationals I was in the same team squad as a guy who walked out with 5600 bucks JUST OFF THAT SQUAD shooting 680.  Yeah he probably got a couple hundred bucks back for the team placement, but you can't even pay expenses for the tournament off just placement winnings.  If you don't get in side action, chances of you just breaking even are very slim.

Masters is a USBC event, which is why there are brackets during the tournament, there are no restrictions on who can get in.

The only side action available in the PBA is at the Regional Tour stops, and that is only a high game pot. Other than that, it is all prize fund.

Do the regular tour guys get in those brackets?  If so, do they go all out?

JOEC1619 and LUV2BOWL12xs THIS POST IS HILARIOUS TO ME BUT YOUR OPINION IS YOUR OPINION. WHEN EITHER ONE OF YOU HAVE DONE AT LEAST A 1/4 WHAT I HAVE ACCOMPLISHED THEN BY ALL MEANS PLEASE LET'S ME KNOW. ANYONE IS STRONG BEHIND A KEYBOARD AND TO SAY I'M JUST A HOUSE BOWLER BECAUSE I DON'T BOWL ON TOUR IS IGNORANCE AT IT'S BEST. I DIDN'T GO ON TOUR BECAUSE IT WOULD'VE BEEN A BAD BUSINESS DECISION SO I DECIDED TO CHASE THE AMATEUR MONEY. IF YOU THINK GOING OVERSEES IS DO GREAT THEN I CAN SELL YOU BEACH FRONT PROPERTY IN NEBRASKA. MY HONOR SCORES IS NOT WHAT DEFINES MY GAME IS MY TOURNEY WINNINGS ON SPORT PATTERNS THAT YOU DON'T HEAR ABOUT WHICH DEFINES MY GAME. I'VE WON MAJOR TOURNEYS AND SWEEPERS AND HAVE FINISHED 2ND IN USA AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP. SO NEXT TIME EITHER ONE OF YOU CALL ME OUT TO BE A HOUSE BOWLER POST YOUR RESUME ON HERE AND SHOW US WHAT YOU DONE.

Respect your game and stats, but the all caps shouting deducts 3 internets.

Plus, stooping to defend yourself from trolls takes another 2.

Sorry.

It's the rules.

I mean, you're still like 150 internets above a house hack like me, but you could do better. That's all I'm sayin.
