Fall tour is canceled
« on: August 11, 2003, 02:49:07 AM »
My hubby just got off the phone with Falzone at home office.

2003 fall tour is canceled due to lack of operating funds.
They are pursuing other investors at this time.
Decision to be made in near future regarding 2004 events.

Really sad. I know a lot of you men will laugh at me, but I enjoy watching the ladies bowl more than the men in regard to learning something because their styles, deliveries, lane playing area, etc. relate closer to the everyday older league bowler like myself whereas the men's game doesn't.

Very sorry to hear this sad news.  I have been a fan of the PWBA and hope that a way is found to bring it back for the professionals who compete and for us viewers who enjoyed watching the class and talent that was displayed on tv.

It is sad that there doesn't seem to be enough interest or $$ out there to keep the seniors and the ladies competing on a national level.   At this rate, maybe the PBA won't be too far behind.

Ecaj - correct.  The fall PWBA tour has been cancelled.  Sounds like the regional action will still be goin on though...

Look under the "Todays the day for the PWBA (It rhymes)" post - I think Mumzie or Michelle posted the formal announcement.

The formal announcement is also on the web page - www.pwba.com

I just wish they'd kill the organization, so that someone can resurrect women's professional bowling. Instead, they're keeping the patient on life support, in a never-never land.

I guess they jumped at the chance to hire her, what with the great job she did for the PWBA.

What other jobs do you think the PWBA girls are going to meld in to.... I could be REAL CRUEL but I won't.

Kim Adler: Swim suit model, Fitness expert perhaps?  She is in shape.

Carolyn Dorin Ballard: I think she would be a great police woman.  She seems so intense, "HOLD IT RIGHT THERE YOU SCUMBAG BEFORE I DROP YOU"  Can't you see her saying that?

Kelly Kulick: Motivational speaker and self help Guru.  (She talks to her self a lot on the lanes).

Tiffany Stanborough: Nuclear particle for an Atomic Reactor.  She seems like she has TONS of energy.

Others, what are your thoughts.  Keep it nice

Brian,

Some here may argue that the "no fault of their own" comment does not apply in Jan's case. I think that's where the comments were coming from.

As far as Nod's comments, I'm not saying they were cruel, just would say "bad form old chap".

I would agree. Several of the touring PWBA members have been welcome posters to this board, and I'm sure that several others are lurkers...

It would not be good form at all to make fun of these ladies that would probably knock your socks off on the way to victory, if they were ever to bowl against you head to head.

Not meant to be cruel...  a little sensitive today aren't we folks.  Jan Schmidt got a new job and my idea is what would the other girls do now that the tour has went defunct.  If you really want to get down to the business of truth.  How many of you employ people that those jobs have moved to Foreign markets because of Goverment Sanctioned Programs "NAFTA", etc?  It was all in clean fun.  To be honest not many of the PWBA girls were making a living anyway.  I do not relish that tour going defunct, I watched it regularly.  

I did not "MAKE FUN" of the girls Mumzie.  Making jest at the girls expense would of been much worse if I had chose to do so.   Back off sensitive new age guys / girls it is only fun.  If we can not laugh through our adversity it will surely destroy us.
