If this is true, I'm sure he'll be missed...

From what I've heard, half will miss them and the other half will not.

i've been to many pba national tour stops including the tournament of champions. i've been to many pba regional tournaments. i've bowled in 7 pba regional tournaments. i've seen many good bowlers. unfortunately, some of these good bowlers are not very good at being a human being..........

It appears that he wasn't too good at either. Bid them a fond farewell, and don't y'all come back around these parts. You two boy don't belong here.

Yeah, they both gave up their cards. I know Chip was selling all of his equipment for $50 per ball. I heard they are going to pick up golf, as both are scratch golfers. Every settee area, scoring console, and ball return hoods are now safe in the Southern region.

I will ask his sponsor if he has truly quit, or if it is Chris being Chris. I can tell you off the lanes he is cool guy on the lanes he is very weird guy, i am sure his sponsor will know the deal with stay tuned if you care.

Actually Barry, it is true he did quit!

From what I read on the PBA forum's. He was bowling against Richie Allen needed a strike, rang a 10 pin, said a few choice words with some junior bowlers around. They talked about the Jr. Bowlers said something and the PBA Southern Manager issued him a fine. Chris walked up to him paid the fine and told him to go F off.

I was never told that anyone lost their card, I was told they voluntarily gave them up. Both the Collins brothers that is..

FBM,

I know chris and chip personally, they are both great guys off the lanes! Chip is great both actually. Chris does have a bit of a temper, he knows it, we all know it. I am sure you have heard the stories about the kicking ball returns/chairs, throwing bags, dropping F bombs, etc.... Some people just take things alot more intense then others! Chris is true competitor, he doesn't take losing or getting screwed well at all!!

But again off the lanes, they both are really nice guys!

Mainzer,

He is a Southern Regional Bowler out of the Carolinas. He won a PBA title 2 yrs ago I believe it was. He finished 2 out of the cut at this years Tour Trials.
