I bowled in a pro-am this morning at Fountain Bowl in California. I saw a lot of pros that bowled the squad before mine, along with the pros that bowled my squad. From my observations, they don't get any nicer than Parker Bohn III and Billy Oatman. Chris Warren and Danny Wiseman were also two pros that I saw really having fun and interacting with the bowlers. Anyone have any pro-am experiences to share?

I have bowled in the Pro-Am at Bradley Bowl in Windsor Locks, CT back in 2005. My experience was unbelievable and so much fun. I found that there were alot of pros that were alot of fun to bowl with. Bowlers like Duke, TJ, PB3, Voss, Barnes, Mika, Brian Gobel, Healey, Wiseman, Maximum Bob all of them are great guys. I was not to impressed though with a few of the bowlers, but it also doesn't surprise me either. I so PDW, Jason Couch, and WRW avoid the crowd and avoid having to sign autographs and just wanted to get to there assigned lanes. As a matter of fact myself and a buddy of mine watched a little kid go up to WRW and ask for a autograph and WRW told the kid that he had to go to his lanes to bowl and walked off. The kid procceeded to get upset and ran to his father. I could not believe he couldn't take two seconds of his time to make that kids dreams come true. This had happened after the pros got there lanes assignments and as they were coming out people were getting autographs signed and WRW went around the huge crowd and walked down the approaches with his equipment to avoid everyone and from autographs. Thats what they are there for is to sign autographs and meet fans of the sport. Since then im not a WRW or Jason Couch fan at all. PDW wasnt that bad but thats just how he is. Other then that I had a great time and also beat all the pros that stepped onto our lanes.

I have to say I was glad to be the only lefty on the pair.  I made one ball change in the 6th or 7th of game 1 and slight line changes over the rest of the set. 207 - 222 - 300 = 729.

Bowled with Randy Pederson and Norm Duke in Marshalltown, Iowa. They, in my opinion, are two of the class acts of the game of bowling. Norm gave us a few trick shots and Randy was just having fun with us.
