I saw this over at BBE, and thought we could do it here too. Have you guys seen any pros in your local bowling alleys? I haven't seen him, but I know Norm Duke has been at my local house, and i thought i saw Ryan Shafer, but im not totally sure if it was him, lol.

What pros have been in your bowling alley?

Also known as Mister High Speed Himself,

I have seen a few here because the Ladies and Legends tourney has been at my home house the last couple years.  I never talked to any though because I didn't want to be bothersome.  However, Kevin Croucher gave me a free lesson when he saw me practicing earlier this year.  I got it on tape too so that's pretty cool.

The only other pro I've ever met was PDW.  He came to hang with us youth bowlers back in the late 80's.  He bowled with everyone and signed autographs.  I still have mine and the one I stole from my sister  It's a bowling moment I'll never forget.
