Articles and Press Releases

Storm delays state bowling tournament
Tom Kreager
The Daily News Journal (TN)

" Snow and ice forced a large portion of the Smyrna Bowling Center's roof to collapse early Saturday morning, postponing the state high school bowling tournament's final day. Five employees and three bowlers were at the facility when the ceiling caved in on lanes 1-14 after 1 a.m. No one was bowling on those lanes, and no one was hurt."

Tommy Birch

"Merle Hay Lanes co-manager Tim May watched as Baedaro racked up the scores during a series of nine games he rolled Monday. The final two were both 300s. Each game was saved and signed on a scoring sheet for Baedaro."

Bowling museum rolls into Texas
Laura Bly
USA Today

"Relocated from St. Louis to a site near the Six Flags Over Texas theme park, the homage to strikes and spares is part of a 100,000-square-foot training and research facility."

Kulick's PBA title a victory for bowling
Mike Pettinella
The Daily News (NY)

"The TV audience of 1.7 million viewers was the second-largest for bowling in 10 years. It took a woman to draw that number of spectators, but now it's up to the PBA and its fans to capitalize on this accomplishment. The PBA needs to market itself as the professional sport of the common man, woman, boy and girl; cultivate new and greater corporate sponsorship opportunities; scrap the taping of several shows at one site for telecast at later dates, and take the Tour on the road -- where it belongs -- at cities across the U.S. It also needs to seriously consider another time for the TV finals; Sunday afternoons belong to the NFL"

Kelly Kulick becomes first woman to win PBA Tour title
Associated Press

"Kulick became the first woman to win a PBA Tour title on Sunday, beating Chris Barnes in the final of the 45th Tournament of Champions."
Bowling Down Barriers: Woman's Pro-Bowling Victory is One for the Books
John Berman
ABC News

Local bowler racks up 60 perfect games
Jo Anne McKnight
Mobile Press-Register

"The 10-year Professional Bowlers Association member said that technological changes in the 1970s and ’80s, including synthetic lanes and more aggressive balls, allow more room for error now, resulting in higher scores and more perfect games."
Nickey McClantoc
NJ bowling manager charged after rival lanes burn
Goeff Mulvihill
Associated Press

"Sadness turned to anger Wednesday, when authorities announced that the manager of a rival bowling alley, the only other one in Cumberland County, had been charged with arson in the destruction of Loyle Lanes."

2-handed Jason Belmonte revolutionizes bowling
Lynn Hoppes
ESPN
"NBA legend Rick Barry shot his free throws underhanded. No one else did. Baseball legend Ty Cobb hit a baseball with a hands-apart grip on the bat. No one else did. And, today, pro bowler Jason Belmonte bowls with two hands. And others are following"

Bowling Industry Makes Sports History With Grand Opening of International Bowling Campus
Press Release
Bowling Proprietors' Association of America

“For the first time in the 5,000-year history of the sport, the bowling industry will be united under one roof with the grand opening of the International Bowling Campus (IBC) in Arlington, Texas, an unprecedented event in sports history."

300: Like father, like son
Gene Phelps
NEMS Daily Journal (MS)

""I contacted the U.S. Bowling Congress and they said it's happened, a father and son bowling 300s the same day," said Kevin Hartigan, who owns Rebelanes. "They said it's still unique, very unique." It was a first for Rebelanes, which opened in 1958."
