Picking out a new ball
John McCarron
Bristol Press (CT)
"One of the biggest mistakes keglers do is come to a pro shop with three dangerous ideas. First, one of their teammates, who recently purchased a new ball, starts scoring well and recommends they buy that particular brand. Second, they ask for the best hooking ball on the market today. Third, they’ve done some research on the web and feel that information is the best choice for their game. "

Newest member of bowling hall of fame: Taylor Swift?
Chuck Schilken
Los Angeles Times
"Taylor Swift has been honored many times over for her musical achievements. But it's about time she receives recognition for her bowling skills. The 20-year-old country-pop sensation has been selected as the 2010 celebrity inductee into the International Bowling Museum and Hall of Fame in Arlington, Texas."
Editor's Note: How does this elevate bowling as a sport? |
A year after World Series, PBA not coming to region
Scott Held
The News Herald (MI)
"The Professional Bowlers Tour won’t be stopping in Taylor during the coming season. The circuit won’t come anywhere near the metropolitan Detroit area, despite its claim to being home to one of the largest collections of registered bowlers in the nation. “They’ve pretty much scaled back,” said Taylor Lanes general manager Erin Dobbins, whose center has hosted myriad PBA Tour stops in recent decades." |
Bowling for the record contributes to a good cause
Kim Williams
Plano Star-Courier (TX)
“For every hour of bowling, I was allowed five minutes for a break. The first 24 hours, I racked up my minutes to take a two-hour nap to get ready for the battle ahead,” said Shanabrook. “I then saved up my minutes to take a break here and there for trips to the restroom or eat.”

Pro bowler Weber hopes for more air time
Kent Lowe
The Advocate (LA)
“The highlight of that was making the semifinals in the Cheetah Championship. It was a tournament Weber was on point from start to finish as part of the monthlong World Series of Bowling. The bad news was that was also the week ESPN did a documentary to show viewers see what a week on the tour was like so Weber never got that live TV showcase." |
Tradition remains strong at Plamor Lanes, a Huntsville bowling legend
Mike Marshall
Huntsville Times
"Plamor Lanes opened in 1959. It's a beige brick building on Leeman Ferry Road with 30 lanes. Powers and Ware cite several reasons why Plamor has continued to thrive after more than 50 years of operations: strong competition, good bowling tradition, social outlets. "This is where I met my wife over 30 years ago," Powers said. "She was in a league. Now, we have three kids.""
