So, Is the PWBA Dead
« on: January 12, 2004, 08:21:51 PM »
Well nobody has said anything.  Do these ladies just put there life and continuing career goals on hold waiting for somebody to decide or did I just miss the funeral.

This week was the most recent extension of the timeline on the decision appears to be on the issue of the ESPN contract.  

The regional program is continuing and there have been a couple that were announced not long ago.

I learn more from watching the ladies bowl than from the men, so yes, I hope they solve their problems soon.

The latest "deadline" is January 31, but nothing happens when the deadline passes, except to set another deadline, so I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you...

I hear Kimbo is thinking of training to be a nurse or a paramedic.  Sounds like a good idea.

The latest word on the PWBA is that Steve Sanders has purchased the name, and is currently working on the details with ESPN.

Our local bowling paper had an article stating that Mr. Sanders has been trying to put together a Ladies & Legends tour to give the Senior PBA players something to bowl. I haven't heard that directly from Sanders, but it seems like a good idea to me.

In talking with Pam Buckner and Kelly Kulick this last weekend, they both think the ladies tour will be starting back up this fall, bigger and better than ever.

I certainly hope so - I had finally decided to go out - last fall. Needless to say, I stayed home, and probably saved a LOT of money. But I would have loved the experience!

Well I for 1 hopes they can get the ladies tour up and running again.
I miss watching the ladies, I've picked up lots of good tips watching them bowl.
Had a good friend try the Miller open in Omaha a few years ago and really miss seeing the PWBA bowl in person.

I hope the women's tour starts up soon. It would
be great if Steve Snaders will come up with
some new ideas to make the tour stronger. If he
can do what the PBA is doing that would be great.
He should aim at the companies that sponsor the PBA.
Maybe those businesses would do the same since it deals
with bowling. Sponsors are the key.

I hope the ladies tour starts soon so these ladies can have the same chance to show their talents that the men have. SOme of the greatest I have seen are the ladies on the tour. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the pwba and can't wait for the return.

Another deadline has come and gone, with no word from Sanders or anyone else.

Anyone have any idea what the hell is going on???

I am guessing no tour this year?

It's a 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

I haven't even had a regional report in several weeks, which is frustrating.  I know the SE lost an event that was usually held in mid-February.  Maybe it is time to go find a new set of clubs to replace the ones that were stolen when I moved to Austin...
