He still pops up from time to time, but, obviously, he's too busy to be a regular. I'm sure you'll start hearing from him again before too long when he posts a new batch of balls to sell for his charity work.

Probably catching up with his family and spending some needed time with them I am sure.

good points hopefully he does become quite regular over summer cause I doubt i'm the only one who wants to hear about how he thinks the season was breaking through for his first title (in a very tough event I would like to add) and now we can call him a champion without idiots saying "no he hasn't won" i would love to hear things he can give as advice to bowlers who someday would like to be on tour and so on...

I agree that Jeff's journals are a great read, but it sure takes a long time after each event to get them posted.

Oh that was so called for...guy makes a comment that certainly wasn't slamming Jeff.  More of a wish list than anything else...take a chill pill tough guy.

Just an FYI......Jeff is not bowling this weekends Midwest regional in Madison, WI.  At least he's not on the roster.  http://www.pba.com/regional/listing.asp?ID=8&TID=1922

Phew, good thing we got that straightened out, I was on pins and needles. Or not.


I enjoy watching the best players in the game bowl especially in person. You do understand that Jeff bowls the majority of Midwest Regionals.....or maybe NOT.

I heard that Jeff is spending the weekend at home with his kids.

It was a long season and it took a lot out of me. I spent a few days in Vegas watching my friends bowl the USBCs, and now I need to start getting treatment on both elbows due to serious tendonitis. My plan is to bowl the DuBuque and Willowbrook regionals, but i really need to evaluate how healthy I am each and every week. The summer is much shorter this year and I need to be ready for the World Series of Bowling in Detroit.

As for the comment on the Journals...no worries. I totally understand and I myself wish I could get them done quicker. They are just very time consuming, especially the line scores. I'm hoping to write the last 2 sometime soon.

As far as me being a regular poster....i'm on here pretty much every day. I like to read whats going on here and there. If anybody has a question about anything, feel free to send me a message or simply post it. I always try to answer everything as fast as I can.

Don't worry Jeff, its a plus that you take time to answer some peoples questions on this site. You don't have to but you do, its a credit to you.
  By the way congrats on winning your first title, and hope there are many more to come.

I just saw Jeff on TV tonight, ESPN Classic.
Ryan Shafer bowled 300 against him.
Yeah, what can you do, he was pretty lined up that game, till it broke down against Duke in the Finals.

Jeff,
Not sure if you were aware of this already but the marathon journal that is posted on your site doesn't have any of your comments, it just says "text" everywhere.  Just wanted to let you know and thanks for the journals I enjoy reading them.
