Joining the PBA
« on: April 19, 2005, 04:28:49 PM »
This is a post just to let everyone know I am planning on sending in my membership application to join the PBA within the next week or so.  Most of us like to share good and exciting news with friends of ours, and while I'm not a frequent poster on here nor have I actually met any of you, I consider most other BR members friends, as we share the same common love of bowling.  Many of you have helped me on this road to trying to become the best bowler I can be through advice on my game, and equipment choices, and for that I thank you.  Whether or not I can compete on the regional level is yet to be seen, but to have the honor of competing against the best in the world is something I don't take lightly and I respect every person who bowls in regionals and national stops as they take on the same challenge I'm about to.  Anyway, I just wanted to share my thanks to everyone here for trying to help me as much as you could and taking the time to do that, and hopefully I will be up to the challenge that I'm about to face.  Hopefully I will see some people on here who bowl in the West Region at some stops in the future.

Thanks for all the words of encouragement everyone, I've bowled a couple regionals as a guest, and look forward to being an official member soon.  I'll try to put some updates up after my next regional which will be in June in Indio.  Thanks again everyone!

If the road gets tough, just remember a true champion is not made from how they react to success, but rather how they react to failure.

I'm bowling the Indio event in June as well, drop me a PM and let me know who you are and we can exchange notes after the practice session.  Obviously, I'll be the guy with "J. Anderson" on his back
