Ironically, June 30 was also Taylor’s birthday. I consider myself one of the lucky ones because I knew Bill Taylor for more than 40 years. It is practically impossible to describe this man whether we speak of his personality or his love/hate relationship with bowling. Suffice it to say that we will never see another man like him. Bill’s supporters called him a genius, a savior, a guru, a visionary and a prophet. Bill liked that to be sure. His de- tractors, and there were many, called him a pest, a mad man, a crack pot, a renegade and a gadfly. Bill liked that, too! He was bowling’s watch- dog. He was also a ground breaking ball driller, an in- structional icon, an inventor, and so much more. Bill was a character’s character with a whip-like sense of humor. He was college educated, well read and capable of talking politics with the Queen of England if she’d listen. Bill was as comfortable with the elite as he was the Everyman. His closest friends called him “Gus.” Taylor’s battles with bowl- ing’s version of “The Man” were legendary. He went head to head with the PBA and the ABC and anyone else who would listen. His mission was to fix bowling and make it once more a game of skill, not a game dictated by oil patterns, sticky-soft bowling balls and wobbly pins you could blow down with half a breath. His 1961 pamphlet titled “Warn- ing: SSC (Super-Soft Condi- tions) is Bowling’s Cancer” was universally ignored with the exception of a small mi- nority. Taylor was ostracized by the bodies that govern bowling: the ABC, the Bowl- ing Proprietors Association of America, the equipment man- ufacturers, and the Bowling Writers Association of Ameri- ca. Taylor knew that he hadn’t the won the battle. But virtu- ally all of Taylor’s predictions about the decline of the sport of bowling have come to pass. ABC-WIBC membership is at its lowest point since 1957; membership peaked at almost nine million members in 1980 but declined every year there- after. The number of bowling centers in the U.S. peaked in 1962 at 11,476 and has steadi- ly declined to the lowest num- ber of bowling centers since the advent of the automatic pinsetter--while the number of honor scores has reached stratospheric proportions. Bill was old school. There are probably many bowlers to- day averaging anywhere from 220-250 who have never heard of him, though they have prob- ably been fitted with Taylor’s most widely used invention, the BT Ball Fitter. The list of bowlers he coached reads like the roster of bowling’s Hall of Fame. Of course, unless you are as old as I am, you might not even know some of the game’s greats that Taylor helped. Omitting no doubt dozens I can’t remember, Bill coached Billy Welu, Steve Nagy, Glenn Allison, Dick Weber, Dick Hoover, Nelson Burton Jr., Harry Smith, Mike Durbin, Dave Davis, Dave Ozio, Brian Voss, Erik Forkel and Ronnie Gaudern.

Earnhardt, or, “Junior”, as he likes to be called, respects that he is the third generation of champion race car drivers, but doesn’t walk in the shadow of his father or grandfather.”I had a close relationship with my dad, and what he accom- plished in racing is not only amazing but provides me with the drive to hopefully one day become as good as he was,” said Earnhardt. Junior grew up in Con- cord, North Carolina where admittedly, he was not a very popular high school student, despite his famous father. He preferred to hang out with a small group of friends, some- thing he prefers to this very day.

Although not a good bowl- er, he expressed tremendous respect for the professional bowlers. “As an athlete tak- ing a car around the track at high speeds, it takes practice, concentration, staying focused on your goal, and guts. Those same elements are necessary for a professional bowler to rise to the top of their game.” He responded with en- thusiasm when ask how his NASCAR ‘Team 88’ is doing “We’ve made a lot of changes with a new crew and all,” said Earnhardt.”I believe that we are headed in the right direc- tion, and know that we have to be patient and stay positive.” In the world of big money purses and multi-million dol- lar sponsor deals, NASCAR has felt the economic pinch, much as the rest of America has, including the bowling in- dustry. “The economy is hav- ing an impact on all of the teams,” said Earnhardt. “The entire sport needs to become more creative, which is a good thing.” What does a guy that is ac- customed to living life in the fast lane, do for relaxtion? The answer is probably not obvious.”Several years ago I started building computers,” said Earnhardt. “I’ve actually become very good at it, and I get a lot of personal enjoyment out of it.” Dale Earnhardt Jr. struck this writer in a much different way that anticipated. “I was amazed at the many aspects of Earnhardt,” said Charlie Allen. “He spoke with a soft demeanor, was articulate and spoke in depth and from the heart when answering questions.” As Earnhardt himself so aptly stated - “I like being a ‘regular guy’ and partying down with my friends.” Traveling along the high- way it is likely that Dale Earn- hardt, Jr. will make a pit stop at a bowling center for a game or two. And you can probably bank on that including a brew or two.

MONROVIA—The Don Quixote of bowling, Bill Tay-lor, passed away in his sleep Thursday night, June 30, at the age of 84. Ironically, June 30 was also Taylor’s birthday.
I consider myself one of the lucky ones because I knew Bill Taylor for more than 40 years. It is practically impossible to describe this man whether we speak of his personality or his love/hate relationship with bowling. Suffice it to say that we will never see another man like him.

LAS VEGAS—Dale Earn-hardt Jr. is no stranger to NA-SCAR fans, and as a result of Bowl Expo 2009 in Las Vegas, he is less of a stranger to the bowling community.

LAS VEGAS—Bowling Proprietor Association President Jim Sturm opened the 77th BPAA annual meeting saying, “They say what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.” This time, we want what happens in Vegas to be spread throughout the world.”
At this “gathering of the industry” playing host to thousands of proprietors from around the world, there were updates on the progress of the new “International Bowling Campus” in Arling-ton and consolidation of The International Bowling Hall of Fame and Museum, United States Bowling Congress, Strike Ten Enter-tainment and BPAA.
Attendees were reminded about the grand opening of the new facility on January 25th in conjunction with the 2010 Bowling Summit. Executive Director John Berglund said it will be the largest industry grand opening ever. The Bowling Campus will here-to-fore be referred to as “621’ which is their address.
Adding to the family will be the Bowling Writers Association of America who approved a proposal allowing Strike Ten Enter-tainment to provide administrative services.
Elections saw Treasurer Tom Martino, Secretary Cathy DeS-ocio, President-Elect John Snyder and President Jim Sturm re-turned to office for a one-year term. Also elected for two-year terms as At-Large Directors were Rick Braden, Terre Haute, IN, John Losito, Lincoln, NE and Bill Wammes of Bowling Green, OH.
Selinda Riggs of Washington State was presented with the Educator of the Year Award for utilizing bowling in teaching her students.
Pat Cinello and Bowler’s Journal President Keith Hamilton spoke on the new Hall of Fame and what will be included. All of the National Halls of Fame will be combined in a unique way and visitors will be able to look up their local Hall of Fame mem-bers as well. The Hall will utilize new-age technology while preserving historical information and still included is the pair of old wood lanes that will actually be used.
Sany Mozur and Henry Lewczyk of Strike Ten Entertainment told us the goal for the exciting “Bowlopolis” promotion was to get the information and videos in 250 centers and it is already in over 800 centers. Bowlopolis is one of the best things that bowing has come up with in years – check it out. New concepts being studied will market league bowling of all kinds to adults. Look for new changes scheduled for youth as well such as - shirts being mandated with membership. Also in the works, a contest to name the ten pins!
After much hoorah from bowlers when President Obama talk-ed of taking the White House bowling lanes out, an agreement has been reached and BPAA and Strike Ten Entertainment is in the process of upgrading the lanes – the rendering is beautiful.
As in all things, there are always some people who resist “to-getherness.” We know that “united we stand and divided we fall” and the bowling partners will continue to try to make good deals with companies that benefit their members. BPAA Secretary Cathy DiSocio says, “You can lose, or you can change and win. To really be prosperous for all – all must contribute to the In-dustry Marketing Fund. This provides good discounts and good rebates to those who utilize our vendors.”
There was no shortage of recognition awards: Golden Pin Centers were recognized for administration, customer service/retention, customer recruitment, revenue generation and food and beverage operations. Bowling Proprietors of the Year went to 16 proprietors: Tom Barberini – Pelham, AL; Mike Hillman, Fremont, CA; Sandy Finkelstein – Merritt Island, FL; Marsha Royalty - Sycamore, IL; Cathy Cooper - Anderson, IN; Carol Mackey – Anthony, KS; Robert Smoltz - Dearborn Heights, MI; Kris Shover - Marshall, MN; Gerry Simmons – Hermitage, MO; Frankie McDaniel – Raleigh, NC; Dan Hruza – Burwell, NE; Erv Hoinke – Cincinnati. OH; Jack Minnelli – Scranton, PA; Mike Logan – College Station, TX; Chuck & Shelly Linn – Puyallup, WA and Ralph Krueger – Menomonee Falls, WI.
Bowlers Journal International named George Pappas as their Proprietor of the Year.
The prestigious Victor Lerner Memorial Medal went to Rex Haney of Topeka, KS. Lerner was described as “dynamic, per-suasive, aggressive, a true leader.” The Presidents Medal went to Larry Moyes of Ogden, Utah for his continuous and tireless contributions to the BPAA. Mike Hennessey received the V.A. Wapensky Award posthumously for his years of volunteer ser-vice to the bowling industry on local, state and national levels. Rip Owens was the first recipient of the newly instituted Me-chanics Hall of Fame.
Mike Aulby was the recipient of the Dick Weber Bowling Ambassador Award for consistently having shown grace on and off the bowling lanes by promoting the game and sport of bowling in a positive manner. Tom Kouros followed trailblazers Helen Duval, Don Johnson, Paul Krumske and Bill Taylor as the 2009 inductee into the Bowling Coaches Hall of Fame, recogniz-ing superior coaching contributions to the sport.
NFL Hall of Fame member Lynn Swann has a string of ac-complishments in football and has supported and been involved in the bowling industry for years. He was the fourth to be in-ducted in the International bowling Museum & Hall of Fame Ce-lebrities Exhibit but the first inductee to be honored in the New IBHF&M in Arlington.
A Special Projects Award went to Hank Harris for his contri-bution of time and expertise to the International Bowling Campus project. The 2009 BPAA Media Award went to Kent Lowe for his consistent coverage of bowling for nearly three decades and specifically the 2008 QubicaAMF International Family Tourna-ment. Elaine Hagin of Castro Valley, CA received the prestigious “Flowers for the Living Award” for her years of dedication to the sport as a mover and shaker. If Elaine was involved she made it happen.
The Welcome Reception featured NASCAR’s Dale Earnhardt Jr. the only third generation NASCAR champion. Dale is one of the most popular figures in sports and known for his originality, and common-sense charisma.
Featured speaker at the convention was former Senator and actor Fred Thompson who starred in The Hunt for Red October and Law and Order – yes, that Fred Thompson. A conservative,
Thompson captivated the audience with his commentary. In the Q & A he was asked why he left Washington and he said, “Well, I just longed for the reality of Hollywood!” He was asked if he had any solutions for the problems we face in the economy and terrorism. His answer was, “There is no real way to know what’s going to happen in the future – you can look at several things happening right now that no one could have foreseen. Things happen in cycles and in a free market system things work them-selves out.” He said at the end of the day, the debt burden will be unsustainable but many who understand the basics are doing fine. He feels things are moving too fast and mistakes are being made. He says you can’t punish the people who make the wheels go around. When asked what we can do to stop the lunacy in Washington he said, “Be informed citizens.”
The Bowling Foundation, still in its infancy is doing a good job. Its mission is to promote a life long enjoyment of bowling by fostering youth and community health and fitness programs, maintaining the value of sportsmanship, character development and leadership skills while providing research, education and training for the bowling community and its athletes. Donations help fund programs such as in-school bowling, Susan G. Ko-men Bowl for the Cure, Bowlers to Veterans Link, and education programs. Contributions are accepted. A Bowling Foundation promotion we could all get behind is The Brick Campaign. Pur-chase your brick and your engraved name, inscription or compa-ny name/logo will be forever displayed at the new International Bowling Campus and Training Center and home to the Interna-tional Bowling Hall of Fame and Museum. All proceeds will benefit the Bowling Foundation.
The Bowlers to Veterans Link has a campaign to benefit the Bowling Foundation through BVL called “Heroes in our Midst” to give our troops a little slice of home.
The Salute to Bowling Cocktail Party & Auction was held to raise funds for the International Bowing Hall of Fame and Mu-seum. This is the evening when participants can dress up and en-joy “heavy” hors d’oeuvres and wine, beer and soft drinks while perusing the numerous items donated for participants to bid on including Super Bowl packages and cruises!
BPAA puts together a tremendous convention and trade show for all. There were seminars for General Bowling Info - Man-aging your Maintenance in Today’s Economy; Small Centers; Bowling Management; Marketing; Food & Beverage; Training; Family Entertainment Centers and tailoring promotions and pro-grams to your own center and Youth Bowling and Promotions.
Executive Director John Berglund was magnificent in his job, as usual, and it seemed no one wanted to talk about his impend-ing retirement. A search committee is looking for a replacement but as Jim Sturm said, “You don’t replace someone like John Berglund.” He has been unique in his vision and creative in ev-erything he did during his time with BPAA. It’s just the nature of the beast. Sort of like a new pick on a sports team where you are not sure what you’re getting and then he/she turns out to be a winner. John Berglund is a winner – a motivator and incentive to all who know him. He will be missed.
The Trade Show Floor featured over 200 exhibiters with something for everyone: Advertising/Signs; Apparel; Arcade/Vending/Amusements/ Architecture and Design/ Associations – Membership Organizations; Awards & Recognition items; Bags, Bar Equipment; Beverage (alcohol or non); Birthday Programs; Bowing Balls; Bowing Pins; Bowling Shoes; Building Mainte-nance; Capital Equipment; Carpet; Coaching; Computer Sys-tems; Construction/Miniature golf Construction; Financial; Food; Furniture; Inflatable’s; Insurance; Lane Equipment; Parts & Sup-plies; Party Supplies; Plush/Novelty/Redemption; Promotional Products; Pro Shop Accessories; Publications; Restaurant/Food Equipment; Seating and Wristbands/Ticketing/Admissions.
Sponsors were recognized in numerous ways and of course it is the hope of BPAA that our bowlers and proprietors will patron-ize them in anyway possible. Diamond Sponsors are: Quibi-caAMF; Pepsi; Anheuser Busch, Inc.; North Pointe Insurance; Jolly Time Popcorn, UPS; Tony’s Pizza and Brunswick followed by Platinum and Gold sponsors, Event Sponsors and General Sponsors. Strike Ten Entertainment is doing a great job on the sponsors.
Don’t wait until the last minute to plan activities to celebrate National Bowling Week where they will once again have a con-test to see which center can log the most linage during the week of August 29 to September 5. Mark your calendar.
The convention ended with appearances by Three Kinds of Magic who offered a gentle reggae with R&B, classical music and jazz overtones and Bill Engvall – a blue collar comic who has his own “Bill Engvall Show” was the headliner. The evening ended with Haute Chili seven incredible musicians who provided the best of Motown.
Your favorite men and women pros were visible and signing autographs throughout the Trade Show and all manner of promo-tions were consistently going on to say nothing of all the good snacks available. A good value from any standpoint.
Bowl Expo is not just a Trade Show – it is an experience.

yond the BT Ball Fitter. He was the first to write about the logistics of ball drilling in books like Fitting and Drilling a Bowling Ball and Weighing a Bowling Ball for Balance and Imbalance. In an effort to legitimize bowling again Tay-lor made his Honor Roll lane finish and Taylor Pins (single void). However, due to lack of support from the big name manufacturers, the conditioner and pins didn’t catch on. And Bill was not surprised.
While I was involved with Bill Taylor in the business side of bowling, I remember Bill Taylor the man well. He was a prankster at the highest lev-el. I remember that the small statured Taylor beat everyone I ever saw him go up against in arm wrestling. I remember him walking down the hall in Ron Gaudern’s Western Co-lumbia plastered with sticky notes on his shirt or anywhere else he could fit them. His car looked the same. I remember being invited to Taylor’s Pasa-dena mansion where he might take you to the basement for some target shooting. I re-member Bill offering to take a group to dinner and pick up the tab. Unfortunately Bill only had his AMEX card with him and the restaurant didn’t ac-cept it so we all had to chip in to pay. I remember sitting in a moving car with Ron Gaudern and Taylor pulled out a gun and shot a bullet through the floor board of Gaudern’s car. Why? I guess it was just “Gus being Gus.”
In an article by Paul Kleins, Taylor was quoted; “It makes me laugh at myself to think of thousands upon thousands of hours of study, and my obitu-ary in the bowling magazines will be about six or seven lines deep and one column wide. And so it goes. None of us is very important except to our-selves and our family.” And our friends, I might add.Editors Note: Other Remeberances next week.
LONG BEACH—It’s the second week of July, time to remind Las Vegas Travel League bowlers that the 52nd consecutive season will be getting underway next month.
The 2009-2010 rules and travel schedule meeting will held in Cal Bowl’s conference Room at 10 a.m. Monday, July 20th.
Everything is ready for presentation for membership approval. We have 16 teams of four filled PLUS one bowler available to sign on any team needing her. There will be a few changes proposed so cap-tains are asked to remind their team members to attend for the approval of them, including the August 17th starting date.
One important change will be proposal to bowl 31 weeks instead of the usual 33, due to the date of Easter Sunday. The Christmas and New Year dates (December 14th-21st) will not be affected.
We are pleased to report six centers are slated to host the travel league; Cal Bowl, Del Rio Lanes, Keystone Lanes, Fountain Bowl, Linbrook Bowl and Valley View Lanes.
President Roberta Mc-Naught requests bowlers be on time at the meeting because she will be calling the meeting to order promptly at 10 a.m. Hopefully, we can get it all done in an hour if there are no problems.
We have been so pleased to hear from a lot of members during the summer bye, and sad to learn of some medi-cal problems that has plagued some. Fortunately, we have most of our loyal subs avail-able to help out.
We are sorry to report another death in the fam-ily of Audry Thibobeaux. Her daughter passed away during last season and her son-in-law, who was also ill, has joined her. We all express deepest sympathy to Audry in her re-cent loss.
LEAGUE MEETING Monday 10 a.m. July 20 in Cal Bowl conference room.

National Deaf Bowling Newsby Connie Marchione
73rd Annual Great Lakes Deaf Tournament Results (continued) CLEVELAND — In the last issue I mentioned the record 1205 team game was rolled by the scratch team event winner Overrated Bowlers com-posed of hotshot deaf and hearing impaired bowlers from Indiana, Ohio, New York and Maryland in this 73rd GLDBA tournament. This may be the first ever 1200 5-men team game ever bowled in any deaf tournament unless someone proves otherwise. My hat is off to the five bowlers who made this record. Now to complete the rest of the tournament results.
DJ Powell Tops 7 Other 700s To Win Actual Singles Event With 739 One of the scratch team champion bowlers, DJ Powell from Indiana followed his 727 on the team with a 739 in the singles event to lead 7 other 700 shooters in winning the scratch singles title prize of $125. The other 700s rolled in placing order by Johnny Darling (IL) 728, Robert Armstrong (LA) 724, Mark Fisser (CA) 706, Sam Russutto (IL) 704, James Brown (LA) 703, and 700 each by Dillard McBride (MI) and Carl Malucci (CA). (Sorry, no games were mentioned.)
Leaf Takes Handicap Singles Event $700 With 803 Great as he is, DJ Powll’s 739 with his zero handicap placed him 10th in the handicap event. A fellow Indianapolis bowler James Leaf rolled 671 plus his 132 handicap for a big 803 total to take the $700 prize. Of the other 700 shooters, Dillard has the largest handicap 93 for 793 to take 2nd place for $350 and Brown third $220 with 81 for 784 and Darling 4th $150 with +51 for 779. Russotto placed 6th $115 plus +48 for 752, Armstrong 8th $105 with +18 for 742 and the three with zero handicap Powell 10th $95, Fisser 25th $49.50 and Malucci 29th for $45. The HandicapSingles event prizes ran down to 63 places 689 score.
Malucci Wins Actual All-Events With 2103 In last year’s tournament Carl Malucci placed 2nd in the scratch all-events to last year’s winner DJ Powell and this year they switched places. This time Malucci combined 678 in Team, 700 in Singles, and 730 in Doubles for 2103 to top the Scratch All-Events while Powell had 727 in Team, 739 in Singles, and 574 in Doubles for 2040 for 2nd. The host city Doubles champion, Bob Harwood had 2011 total for 3rd.
Michigan’s Dixon Scores Record 2310 For Handicap All-Events Title Another record fell in this tournament as Robert Dixon from Grand Rapids, MI scored 1896 scratch total plus a big 414 handicap for a first ever 2310 handicap all-events total and $250 prize. I do not have each series scores but Dixon’s huge 2310 broke the old record of 2284 made in 2002. Former Californian Tom Parker, now of Columbus, OH rolled 1952 plus 234/2186 for 2nd place $150 and James Brown, LA had 2158 for 3rd $110. Malucci’s 2103 with zero handicap was good for 10th place and Powell’s 2040 did not make it as the last place in the money 23rd score was 2055.
Other Optional Prize Events Carl Malucci took the scratch Singles/Douhles combo event with 1430 while Robert Dixon was the lucky one with 1546 in the popular handicap Singles/Doubles combo for $190. The handicap Singles winner James Leaf placed 2nd with 1505 for $130. Malucci’s 1430 placed 9th as this event’s prizes went to 22 places. John Damrow, IL scored handicap total 1453 in Senior Citizen Team/Singles events for $230 prize while Robert Uttley, IN placed 2nd $140 with 1370 and there were 13 prizes.
NY’s Sisco Jr. Wins Senior Citizen MastersWith Rochester, NY Ron Hood Jr. winning the Herman Cahen Masters, another Rochester man, the Handicap Doubles champ Chris Sisco Jr. took the Senior Citizen Masters by defeating CraigSchlorff, Detroit in the finals. Sisco Jr. got $450 while Schlorff took home $225, Joe Early, IL placed 4th for $150 and John Damrow 4th for $125. Toledo, OH will host next year’s GLDBA tournament on April 15-18, 2010.

Nearly 2,000 Youth Bowlers To Compete in USBC Junior Gold ChampionshipsARLINGTON—This week, a record number of youth athletes will hit the lanes for the United
States Bowling Congress Junior Gold Championships presented by Brunswick.A total of 1,980 of the nation’s top youth bowlers will be in Indianapolis from July 11-17 for the
event, which will be conducted at Woodland Bowl, Western Bowl and Expo Bowl.“The Junior Gold Championships is the premier event for elite youth bowlers,” USBC Director
of Youth Development Brian Graham said of the tournament which will award $140,000 in scholar-ships. “The competition should be tremendous, and we are looking forward to a great tournament in Indianapolis.”
The Junior Gold Championships will be contested on five of the nine World Tenpin Bowling Association (WTBA) Lane Patterns, all of which are USBC Sport Bowling compliant.
Competition begins with the qualifying round, which will require bowlers to bowl six games per day on July 13, 14 and 15, respectively. At the end of those 18 games, the top 150 males and 78 females will advance to the semifinals. Semifinal competition will take place July 16, consisting of two six-game blocks. The top 16 males and top 16 females will earn spots in the match-play finals, which will take place July 17.
Competitors also will battle for spots on USBC Junior Team USA. The top four male and top four female finishers after match-play competition automatically qualify for Junior Team USA 2010. The National Selection Committee (NSC) will award four at-large spots - two male, two female - from the pool of athletes that make the match-play finals.
In addition to the great competition on the lanes, Junior Gold competitors will have the opportu-nity to attend a seminar featuring Dr. Dean Hinitz, a leading authority on bowling psychology. The seminar titled “Practical Principles for Championship Play” will look at the mental tools needed to compete at the highest levels of competition.
USBC also will present the 2009 Collegiate Bowling Roundtable on July 11 from 12:30 p.m.-2 p.m. The seminar, which is free for 2009 Junior Gold Championships competitors and their parents/guardians, features coaches from NCAA, NAIA and NJCAA institutions discussing their programs, scholarships opportunities and the college bowling experience.
On the lanes, the Bowling This Month Survivor Tournament returns after a two-year hiatus. This exciting side tournament, open to any USBC youth bowler, will be held at Western Bowl, July 16-17. For the $125 entry fee, bowlers will receive a Brunswick Wild Thing bowling ball, a one-year subscription to Bowling This Month magazine and a chance to earn a part of the total purse of $25,000 (based upon 1,000 entries) in scholarship money.
USBC Youth members who average 175 or better (males) or 165 or better (females) and who are members of the USBC Junior Gold program were eligible to qualify for the Championships.

California Bowler Rolls 300 Game at USBC Women’s Championships
RENO—Lindsy Bonifacini of San Diego left her mark on the leaderboard and the record books at the United States Bowling Congress Women’s Championships on Thursday.
The 27-year-old right-hander became the ninth woman in the 90-year history of the event, and first this year, to roll a 300 game on the tournament lanes.
After beginning her doubles competition with a 203 game, Bonifacini rattled off 12 consecutive strikes for the tourna-ment’s first perfect game since Alicia Kellow of Louisville, Ky., achieved the milestone at the 2005 event in Tulsa, Okla. Bon-ifacini finished doubles with a 234 game for a 737 series and teamed up with her sister Kacy Bonifacini for a 1,312 doubles effort, which is good for ninth place in Classic Doubles. Clara Guerrero of Austin, Texas, and Jenifer Larson of Tupper Lake, N.Y., lead with 1,404.
“It really didn’t kick in until I struck in the ninth frame,” said Bonifacini, who competed in her second USBC Women’s Championships. “All of a sudden, it was like, here we go. By the 12th shot, my legs were shaking, and it felt like I was going to fall over. I was so nervous, but I just told myself to get the ball off of my hand clean and give it a chance.”
Bonifacini was consistent throughout the entire event at the National Bowling Stadium and added 660 in team and 641 in singles for 2,038 all-events total, an average of more than 226. The performance moved her into seventh place in Classic All-Events. Robin Romeo of Newhall, Calif., leads with 2,172.
Bonifacini, who bowls league at Mira Mesa Bowl, felt the pressure as she posted strike after strike, but she continued to make quality shots.
On the final shot of her 300 game, the 4 pin was the last to fall, and the surrounding bowlers erupted with excitement.
This was not Bonifacini’s first visit to the Stadium this year. She competed in the USBC Queens in April and made the first cut before finishing in 87th place against a challenging lane con-dition and the best female bowlers in the world. It was her second appearance at the Queens, too.
“You really had to make great shots at the Queens,” said Bon-ifacini, who now owns five 300 games and rolled her first 800 series earlier this season. “It was so tough, so I wasn’t sure how close the pattern would play when I came back. The experience on the tougher pattern helped out today.”
Along with bowling on tough conditions, Bonifacini also had a little inspiration from her mother, which helped lead to her per-formance on the lanes.
“My mother wasn’t able to make it to the tournament,” Boni-facini said. “I had talked to her on the phone earlier in the day, and she told me just to go ahead and bowl 300 tonight. So I’m glad I listened. My father and sister were here to see it, but I was sad that she missed it.”
The first 300 shot at the Women’s Championships was by Lori Gensch of Milwaukee, Wis., in 1979. Now 30 years later, Bonifacini is proud to add her name to the list.
“I feel very privileged to become a part of history at this tournament,” Bonifacini said. “Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be a part of such a group.”
Presenting sponsors for the 2009 USBC Women’s Champion-ships are Eldorado Hotel Casino, Silver Legacy Resort Casino and Circus Circus Reno. Other participating sponsors are Kegel, official lane maintenance provider, Atlantis Hotel and Casino, Sands Regency Casino Hotel, Harrah’s Hotel and Casino, Club Cal Neva, and Storm Products Inc.

Televised Perfect Games To Pay Up To $100,000
at U.S. Women’s Open
ARLINGTON, Texas - The 12 players who advance to the television finals of the 2009 U.S. Women’s Open, a Unit-ed States Bowling Congress event, will have the opportu-nity to earn a significant cash bonus if they shoot a perfect game on television.
Any of the 12 bowlers who shoot a 300 game dur-ing the five television shows will earn a cash bonus. Perfect games during the champion-ship round (final show) will be worth $100,000 each while 300 games during the first four shows will pay $25,000 each.
Participants can earn the bonus prize more than once.
“This adds another layer of excitement to the televised portion of the U.S. Women’s Open,” USBC Vice President of Media Pete Tredwell said. “And a perfect game is a real possibility given the level of talent we see in the U.S. Wom-en’s Open each year.”
The event, which will be held Aug. 3-9 at Sunset Station Hotel and Casino’s Strike Zone Bowling Center in Henderson, Nev., will have a limited field of 288 entries so players are encouraged to enter early to avoid being shut out.
The U.S. Women’s Open, which featured nearly 200 bowlers last year, is expected to have an expanded field this year including many interna-tional players. The event im-mediately follows the 2009 World Tenpin Bowling Asso-ciation World Women’s Cham-pionships in Las Vegas.
Players can save $50 by en-tering prior to the initial entry deadline of July 10. Prior to July 10, the entry fee is $300; following that date, the fee in-creases to $350. Entry forms are available on BOWL.com or by contacting tournament director Tom Boedecker at (800) 514-BOWL, ext. 3415.
The U.S. Women’s Open is open to any USBC female member and features an esti-mated prize fund of $150,000 with $25,000 going to the win-ner.

Gardner Plows His Field, Plants The Strikes & Grows A Healthy 980 in Rocky Marsh Doubles
by Joy McGregor
ANAHEIM—Spring has sprung, the grass iz riz, I wonder where the Gardner iz? Well, Don is right here at cool, Linbrook Bowl and showing his bowling prowess on hot and well mani-cured games of 220-235-258 for 713 and added a flowery 267 to cultivate high series of the day and season, at 980. Great bowling Don and a nice pre curser to the 4th!
Hong “Happy Feet” Kha threw some heat on games of 204-221-268 and 235 to post 928. So, I guess you like your new bowling ball Hong?
Janine Ditch, a one-woman team this morning (partner Fred is sidelined with a broken wrist), showed her maple moxy on games of 266-233 and 211 for 710 and added 212 to post a fine 922. Impressive!!
Ron Marcus came to bowl, outshining his opponent, to earn all his match points on games of 207-246-242 and 226 to calcu-late a 921 set.
First time sub Dan Hust showed he has all the “right stuff”, tossing games of 232-214 and 258 for 704 and added a 214 to register a fine 918 set. I do beleieve you will most certainly be asked again Dan.
Juan Sandoval found his comfort zone as he powered his ball into the 1 - 3, posting games of 236-223-211 and 233 to score 913. Nice consistent bowling, my friend!
E.J. Rogers didn’t capture high series honors this week and his “Crown” may have slipped a notch but this smooth-strokin’ lefty still tossed 278-237-184 and 214 to post 913, maintaining a lofty 233 high average.
The final member to join the prestigious 900 Club is Shawn St. Andre with his very first 900 of this season. Shawn says he attributes his good bowling to eating a “few too many” cookies. Is that called being on a Sugar High? He fired games of 207-258 and 265 for 730 and added a (cookies all gone) 173 game to reg-ister 903. Glad I could be of help, Shawn but don’t expect “good-ies” every week! Shawn’s partner is this morning’s top gun, Don Garnder, and their combined scores amassed 1883 to take over high series honors for the season Nice shooting guys!!
