Title: John Petraglia
Post by: AlBundy33 on March 03, 2011, 10:00:36 PM
Still very much competitive against the kids at age 64......nothing short of amazing, even with the shortened exempt fields.

The man is a bowler and a man.
I see him practicing virtually every time I visit my pro shop/driller.
He loves bowling and he loves beating you.
He's only at 238 in this league (once a week):

Jeff,
They have some good bowlers in that league...
Not many under 200.

Yes, they do, Richard. It's one of the better leagues in a bowling-crazy county. Wish I still lived close enough to bowl there.

I'd pee my pants a little if I was lined up across from him in a league.
I'm a lefty too, so I would hope not to screw up his line. lol

I saw him bowl last year at a senior PBA event at Beverly Lanes...He still rolls the ball, really, really well. I was impressed with the passion he showed with every shot he threw... We're the same age and both LH... I hadn't seen him in person sincer 1967 at the Waukegan Open.

titletown,
 
Actually you'd love bowling with Johnny. He doesn't criticize, he doesn't scowl (except when he's bowling bad, which doesn't happen very often.). He'll encourage you if you seek his advice. He is very friendly 99.99% of the time. Actually so is Parker who often subs in the same league. They're really just a couple of regular guys who bowl better than almost everyone else .
 
Of course you don't want to bowl head to head against either one of them. That league is a man to man points league.
