Jack Jurek
« on: February 20, 2007, 04:56:07 PM »
Hey guys....last year when Jack made the show in Albany, NY I was there and it was the first time that I'd seen him bowl.  This past summer I had the absolute pleasure to bowl with him during a Pro-Am in Rome, NY.  Personally I think he is a great bowler and one of the nicest guys that I have EVER met.  A true gentleman and real sportsman.  I was just wondering what everyone else thinks of Jack.

Oh, and if anyone has a video of his only win at the 1995 Tums Classic, could you post it somewhere so I can see it....really love to watch Gentleman Jack win....though I do think he's gonna get another title this year.

I got to bowl with him in Vegas this past January.  He was a lot of fun to bowl with.  I bowled bad the 5 frames before he cam to our pair and then started carrying the strikes.  He asked why I waited so long.  I told him I needed motivation.  He was talking and joking around with us, just having a good time.

I also got a compliment from him.  He was our last pro.  I always clean up my Black Widow and Smokin' Inferno with Track Clean & Dull after every use.  He saw me cleaning them and said it was nice to see.  Too many people don't take care of their equipment.

I sort of remember seeing him on TV as a 10 yr old kid. The Tournament/ The 1984 World cup here in Australia at a dungeon called Rushcutter Bowl(had 52 lanes so it was the only centre in the country big enough i guess) He won with a 188av on the most cranker-unfriendly lanes on the planet at the time(outside of Archer and 35th or course)
