Pros in your house?
« on: August 16, 2008, 04:54:43 PM »
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?

My local alley is a dump, no pro would want anything to do with it.

You know what's funny?  I've been bowling in the Louisville area my entire life and I've never once bowled in the same league as Mike Wolfe.  I've bowled against him in several tournaments, but never once has he actually bowled in the same league as me as a regular or a sub or anything.  Kinda surprising.


well if u kno where rose bowl is on goldsmith lane, he is usually up there on wednesday nights during the offseason to bowl in a matchplay tournament. besides that he just randomly drops in on my home house, ten pin, to practice a lil

We regularly see Steve Cook, Leanne Barrett and Wayne Webb at our local bowling functions and leagues.  Larry Laub and Betty Morris are in and out.  We also have several regional guys.  Also we had Walter Ray Williams stop off at one of our centers on his way from Reno one weekend night.  It was very late at night when he stopped and he was put on the end pair and shot 279.

Yeah, I almost never bowl in that house.  I've been there twice since they put in synthetic lanes, both times for the city tournament.  I'm usually at Kingpin, Executive, or Fern Valley.

I'm in lower central NY. I've seen Ryan Shafer bowl in some charity type tournaments. Also PB III and Petraglia have been booked for some end-of-season spring bowling parties.

I've seen pretty much all of the exempt players, since our center (Hawthorn) hosts a tour event.  

Also, I saw Norm Duke and Brian Voss picking up some bowling balls at our center the night before the first day of taping for the PBA team event (I don't remember what they call it) that was held at Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, IL.

I saw Johnny Petraglia once or twice a few years ago, because he is friends with the then owner of the center.

Dick Baker (senior player) comes in to practice now and then, when he's in town.

When Rhino Page was at KU, he'd come up to our center and bowl in a few tournaments with Jeff Ussery. Other than that, nope.

We do have a CIA/FBI/5 Star General that bowls league here though...........................(inside joke)

Parker Bohn did an exhibition like 9 years ago at my center, and the last 2 years my center has run a bowl like the pros seminar during national bowling week.

Not sure if Steve is talking about Howell Lanes or Airport Plaza, but Howell is Parker's home house.
