Tough loss in the sport of bowling. His articles and books really helped me improve my game and understand the importance of having a free backswing. I remember seeing him at the annual PBA Tour stop in my area with his trademark cigar, wish I had a chance to talk to him and ask his advise. RIP Mr. Jowdy!
