THE WOODLANDS, TX – With the help of PBA Hall of Famer Norm Duke, Houston Rockets All-Star guard Chris Paul won his second consecutive and fourth overall doubles title in the State Farm® CP3 PBA Celebrity Invitational presented by GoBowling! in a special televised Sun-day on ESPN from Bowle-ro The Woodlands in the suburban Houston.

In the featured event of the ninth annual invi-

Norm Duke & Chris Paul Are Victorious in the CP3 PBA Celebrity Invitational Doubles TitleHouston Rockets star wins second consecutive title in multi-event extravaganza benefitting Paul’s CP3 Family Foundation

tational event involving PBA stars and celebrity bowlers benefitting Paul’s CP3 Family Foundation, Paul teamed with Duke for an error-free, 10 strike performance in the alter-nate-frame doubles format championship match to beat eight-time PBA Tour titlist Bill O’Neill and Bos-ton Red Sox All-Star out-fielder Mookie Betts, 259-226, in the title match.

Paul and Duke com-bined for the first six strikes in the match which

ultimately proved too much for the O’Neill/Betts team to overcome. In the ninth frame, Paul sewed up the win by picking up the chal-

lenging 4-5 split in front of an enthusiastic sold out crowd at Bowlero The Woodlands.

“I’ve been blessed to have some great partners

over the years and Norm certainly showed why he’s a Hall of Famer,” said Paul, who won last year’s event with PBA Hall of Famer Chris Barnes. “It was up to

me to stay there with him and keep the momentum going. Bowling’s like every other sport where, when you get that momentum early, you want to keep it. If you do, good things are going to happen.”

Paul also won doubles titles back-to-back in 2010 and 2011 with four-time PBA Player of the Year Ja-son Belmonte. For Duke, it was his first CP3 Celebrity Invitational win.

“Going into the finals I felt like we were the under-dogs,” said Duke. “Mookie is a talented player and Bill is one of the best in the land right now so we knew we were going to have our work cut out for us.”

“We got through the semifinal match in good shape but right before practice for the title match Chris was kind of lost and asked me ‘What should I do?’ Chris is a guy who likes to play the inside part of the lane and hook the ball, but I suggested he try playing outside where I was playing and, sure enough, he made it work. We just started striking and we were on our way.”

“I don’t want to under-state how big that 4-5 split conversion was,” Duke added. “At that point the match still could have gone either way if he had missed it, but that was a great shot.”

In the five-frame semifi-nal matches, the Duke/Paul team beat 2016 PBA Player of the Year EJ Tackett and Paul’s Rockets teammate, James Harden, 109-90, and the Betts/O’Neill team beat the 2016 winners, newly-elected Pro Football Hall of Famer Terrell Owens and PBA Hall of Famer Pete

INDIANAPOLIS – Every time Woodland Bowl in Indianapolis hosts a new Profes-sional Bowlers Association tournament, it adds another chapter to its remarkable history as bowling’s most versatile host bowling center, and it isn’t just prize money and a title that attracts bowlers from around the world.

A lesser-known reality for Woodland Bowl’s PBA champions is that they earn a banner for permanent display in the center’s “Beer Thirty” lounge, an unusual “hall of fame” that commemorates an elite group of bowlers who have won titles in the only bowling center in the world that has hosted every different PBA major championship over the years, in addition to a number of other significant non-professional tournaments. There are cur-rently 40 banners hanging in “Beer Thirty,” including 38 representing players who have won titles at Woodland, plus one for PBA legend and Indianapolis native Dick Weber, and another for PBA veteran Ryan Shafer, celebrating a 300 game he rolled at the center.

Beer Thirty got its name because it offers 30 different kinds of beer, according to General Manager Jim Doty, and “because it’s time for a beer at 5 o’clock somewhere…”

The newest banner winner could be the GoBowling! PBA 60th Anniversary Classic champion, if that player has not previously won at Woodland. The tournament will be part of a week celebrating PBA’s first 60 years, and it has attracted a world-class field.

Among the players already entered, in addition to international bowlers from 17 differ-ent countries, are three PBA Tour winners from Indiana who would very much like to add their own banners to the Beer Thirty lounge collection: 25-year-old nine-time PBA Tour winner EJ Tackett of Huntington who also is one of five bowlers who have both PBA Rookie of the Year (2013) and Player of the Year (2016) honors; 38-year-old four-time PBA titlist Ronnie Russell of Marion, and 2017 PBA Rookie of the Year Matt Sanders, an Evansville native now living in Indianapolis. Sanders won his first PBA Tour title dur-ing his rookie season.

The new PBA tournament, which is part of the Go Bowling! PBA Tour schedule in 2018, is open to all PBA members. That will include players who have bowled in events hosted by Woodland Bowl ever since it opened, and others who have never set foot in the iconic center. The 60th Anniversary Classic will begin on Tuesday, Feb. 13, and conclude on Sunday, Feb. 18, when ESPN will televise the stepladder finals live at 10 a.m.

Among the players already entered in the Go Bowling! PBA 60th Anniversary Classic are PBA Hall of Famers Parker Bohn III, Norm Duke, 70-year-old Johnny Petraglia, 84-year-old Carmen Salvino and PBA’s all-time titles leader, Walter Ray Williams Jr., plus Chris Barnes and Ron Mohr who will join the Hall of Fame at week’s end.

As part of the festive week, the PBA’s 60th Anniversary Celebration Dinner will in-

Winning at Woodland Bowl in Indianapolis has Special Appeal to PBA Players

Three Indiana players would like to earn a banner in “Beer Thirty” lounge

clude its 2018 PBA Hall of Fame induction ceremonies on Saturday, Feb. 17, at the Mar-riott North in Indianapolis. The late Don Mitchell, the founder of the Royal Pin Leisure Centers chain that includes Woodland Bowl, will be inducted into the PBA Hall of Fame along with Barnes, an 18-time PBA Tour champion from Double Oak, Texas, and Mohr, a PBA50 Tour star from Las Vegas.

Earlier Saturday, the PBA will hold its 2018 PBA League Draft at Woodland Bowl where the eight team managers will select two players each to complete their rosters for the PBA League Elias Cup competition in Portland, Maine, in April.

“We’re honored to have Woodland Bowl chosen to host this very meaningful event,” said Doty, Royal Pin Entertainment’s General Manager. “Our long association with the Professional Bowlers Association has been a labor of love that brings back memories of past events that include many hall of fame members who have competed at Woodland Bowl.”

Admission tickets for the GoBowling! PBA 60th Anniversary Classic can be pur-chased in advance online (https://www.eventbrite.com/e/go-bowling-pba-60th-anniver-sary-classic-tickets-37388770820) or at the door.

CUCAMONGA – Johnny Carson always consulted with KARNAK “The Magnificent” when he wanted pre-dictions for the future. I decided to do the same to find out what is in store for the sport of BOWLING in 2018.

I heard that KARNAK once lived in Cucamonga, Cali-fornia so I decided to go there when “channeling” his spirit for help. Channeling is a lost art these days but I know enough about it to realize that the closer you can get to a spirits earthly haunts the better your chances for success. So off I went.

Once in Cucamonga my focus centered on all levels of competitive bowling. I asked KARNAK to reveal what was ahead in 2018 for our pro sport and the USBC (United States Bowling Congress) certified game. I have been doing this successfully for several years now, with KAR-NAK’S best prediction for 2017 being the emergence of Jesper Svenson as a super star.

Without revealing my methods, I will say that KAR-NAK is a very approachable spirit and willing to com-municate. He was very enthusiastic about the future of BOWLING with some exciting news for the upcoming year.

So let’s get started with the good news. KARNAK says:

1. The PBA (Professional Bowlers Association) will continue to introduce new and innovative formats and concepts that will increase it’s popularity. Syracuse’s own TOM CLARK, a marketing genius, will introduce some new wrinkles for television to get young fans INVOLVED. Future telecasts will feature appearances by pre-teen com-petitors in three frame roll-offs. Kid’s nationwide will be able to apply for television spots.

Another innovation will involve a new format for deter-mining a tournament champion. To allow for more bowl-ers to appear on television the PBA will introduce the new “Triple Trio” format. Three trios start the television show bowling one game with each trios top scorer moving on. The trio of winners bowl in the semi-final game with the high scorer moving on to face the tournament high quali-fier for the title. This format will allow for ten bowlers to compete on television for a title, nine trio contenders and the top qualifier. A great way to get television exposure for more faces, new faces and familiar faces.

2. The bowling industry will unite to introduce the first Bowling Television Network (BTN). This will allow our sport to enjoy greater exposure then currently experienced on Xtra-Frame. Imagine being able to watch bowling on the boob tube 24/7. The network could sustain itself with telemarketing time spots and gimmicky prize shows.

3. The PWBA (Professional Women’s Bowling Asso-ciation) will partner with a major corporation to allow for additional tournaments, larger prize funds and expanded television coverage. Finally, our women professionals will garner the support of a major company of women’s products. It is long overdue for a product line from Avon, Christian Dior, Estée Lauder, Lancôme, L’oreal, Maybel-line or Revlon to step up and support their own. Years ago Virginia Slims stepped up and supported the women’s professional tennis tour. The time is right for a women’s product line to support our ladies. This will be CHAD MURPHY’S time to shine. His biggest contribution to women’s bowling will be his pursuit and corralling of a corporate sponsor.

What’s Up For 2018? KARNAK Predictsby Frank Weiler

4. The USBC (United States Bowling Congress) will develop a 900 score tie breaker. Anyone rolling a certified 900 three game series will be given the opportunity to con-tinue bowling and see how many more strikes he/she can roll. The bowler with the most consecutive strikes after the first 36 will be the all-time scoring leader.

Bowling needs a record holder. Hall of Fame writer DICK EVANS made this proposal a decade ago and it needs a visionary to make it happen. That visionary is CHAD MURPHY. As USBC Executive Director he will appoint a committee to study ways to make the non-bowl-ing public more aware of our sport. Among other things, the committee will recommend for a 900 score tie breaker and Chad Murphy will act to implement the committee’s recommendation.

5. What about bowling balls? MOTIV will revolu-tionize the sport of bowling. The “scientists” of MOTIV will develop a new cover stock and weight block that will make their “TRUE” ball perform like no other. The ball will perform on short and long oil. The ball will “carry” every good shot. However, the ball will not be forgiving. If you make a bad shot you will get bad results. The ball will not reward a bowler for a bad shot. You will get what you deserve with the new “TRUE” ball. The “TRUE” ball will be reliable, consistent and “true”. Best of all this new ball will never crack!

When it comes to individual accomplishments KARNAK says:

PBA Bowler of the Year will be: Jesper SvensonPWBA Bowler of the Year will be: Kelly KulickPBA 50 Bowler of the Year will be: Walter Ray Williams Jr.

Female Fan Favorite of the year: Lynda BarnesMale Fan Favorite of the year: Parker Bohn III

Top Story of the year: Liz Kuhlkin becomes first woman to bowl 900. No surprise here.

Keep your eyes on the headlines. You may be surprised by how accurate KARNAK is.

What was your average in 1979?? What kind of ball did you use?• 48 year old GLENN ALLISON was inducted into the ABC Hall of Fame along with CAR-MEN SAVLINO.• GUPPY TROUP got his nick name for his days bowling in a “Guppy League”.• FOY BELCHER ran the “School of Bowling”, complete with color slides. He was as-sisted by RON WINGER.• DONNA ADAMEK (21) was named “Bowler of the Year” by Bowling Writers. • 36 lanes were added to the SHOWBOAT, making the monster 106 lanes strong.• A.B.T.A. man BOB SMITH was sporting a big, black, bushy moustache.• BOB LOMAX popped a 300 game at ROWLAND BOWL. He always had to bowl others peoples tournaments. Winning his own ABA Club tournament was a No-No.• Junior bowlers at GABLE HOUSE could win a Moped! They got a drawing ticket for every game they bowled. • The Rose Parade theme was sports. What sports? Soccer, football, baseball, tennis, golf, skin diving, and skate boarding. Something was missing!!• LEISURE TIME SPORTS purchased MIRA MESA LANES in the San Diego Area. At least its still in business. • Hundreds of bowlers responded to the urgent call from the Red Cross for blood. The Red Cross received more from bowlers than any other plea ever made.• The Ventura County B.A.’s contributed $24,371.85 to B.V.L. Number one in the U.S.• At last, a movie about bowling and a bowler. “Dreamer” was (and is) about the struggle to become a pro-bowler. Worth watching but not an award winner. TIM MATHESON could actually bowl, averaging 196.• “Bowling For Groceries”? Yep, Spin the wheel after a strike and win a prize. Maybe a can of soup or a box of Animal Crackers. That gimmick spread all over California one year and disappeared.• TED DAWSON of KABC-TV fame added bowling to his nightly sports report.• 79 YEAR OLD BILL O’BRIAN rolled his highest game ever at ALHAMBRA VALLEY BOWL — a 276. He is currently bowling in 13 leagues a week. His highest was 17 a week! He had great stories including building the first freeway to Las Vegas! (All by himself!)• VILLage LaNeS was under construction in El Monte — and ART GODDARD kept delaying the opening. • MIKE DI CIOLLA was the G.M. at COLUMBIA BOWL in Duarte plus GOLIAD BOWL in Texas! He was a rodeo champion in roping.• BOB PROBERT opened his pro shop in KONA LANES.• Eleven new centers were advertising for help; mechanics, desk people, managers — especially in Orange County.• The great BILLIE LEE of San Diego was inducted in California Women’s Hall of Fame, along with Mildred Lowe (State Treasurer).• ART GODDARD rolled his first 300/803 at COLUMBIA BOWL.

DOWNEY – While waiting for the Super Bowl to come on, I was tuned to my favorite Channel - T C M. Old movies are still the best.

I’m in the kitchen getting a cup of coffee and I hear “bowling”. (A sound I’m very familiar with.)

It was Andy Varipapa doing his famous trick shots!! For a moment I thought “Twilight Zone” was on.

Andy loved doing his 7-10 pick-up with 2 balls - one in each hand. Another unbelievable classic was making a ball turn left, right, left before hitting the 7 pin. Could the ball have had a little “weight” problem on one side?

Glass lamps placed down a lane were never in danger from his undulating sphere.

His infectuous smile, broken English and Italian gusto made him a winner.

I don’t know if he ever made enough money to support a family —but to us oldtimers he was a treasure. If you ever get a chance to watch Andy in action — do it!

BURBANK – It never fails to amaze me the many and unusual places you run into fellow bowlers. You may see them every day and not know until that conversation gets triggered. Example: One of the checkers at the grocery store I frequent, one day noticed I was wearing a bowling shirt. “You a bowler?” Me: oh yes! “Me too.” Me: Where do you bowl? She told me and quickly asked, “What’s your average?” That one question always pops up. Another example, the Dollar Store: “You bowl? I used to bowl.” Me: You should get back to it. What did you average?

Have you experienced the ‘bowler meets bowler’ phe-nomenon? If you have, keep the conversation going!Senior Swingers: (scr) Raymond Garcia 465, Cres Cruz 418, Fred Lampa 178, Bonnie Holcomb 161.

Until next week, GOOD LUCK and HIGH SCORING!

LAKE ELSINORE – After taking a week off, the Saturday Sport league members returned to face a new oil pattern. The first two patterns for this season are definitely a tick-tock as the league went from the scorable PBA Cheetah oil pattern to the downright painful 2012 PBA U.S. Open. For those unfamiliar with this particularly difficult condition, it is 42 feet long, completely flat (1 to 1 ratio) from gutter to gut-ter and light volume (22.2 mL of oil). Thus, on fresh, there is no room for error and it changes quickly. The best way to approach this condition is to keep it around the pocket and make your spares.Games Over Average: Christopher Clay +23, Scott Ever-son +28, Robert Groth +37 & +39, Mondesi Saavedra +40.Games Over 200: Mondesi Saavedra 202, Ryan Galland 204, Mark McLeavy 221.Series Over Average: Robert Groth +93.Series Over 600: As a testament to the difficulty of this condition, there were no 600+ series shot this week.Bowler of the Week: This award this week goes a league member who beat his average in every game with scores of +35, +38 and +37. These spectacular games resulted in a series which eclipsed the century mark at 110 pins over average! Who is the person who managed this feat? It was none other than Steve Lertpaichaiyon. AWESOME bowling Steve and congratulations on being our BotW!

If you’d like more information on this fun and challeng-ing league, contact Pins ‘N Pockets or go to facebook.com/groups/PinsSaturdaySport. Until next time, HAVE FUN AND FILL FRAMES!

In the CBN edition of July 28, 2016, I wrote an article about the Dutch youthbowler YOURI FENS. At the end of March 2016, a drama occurred in the Netherlands and in particular for Youri, when his bowl-

ing house Bowling Dolfijn in Tilburg was destroyed by a fire.The bowling burned completely, and nothing remained of the bowling equipment of the match bowlers that

were stored in lockers. A few months before he would participate at the World Youth Championship at Lincoln Cleveland, Youri

lost all his equipment in one go.Spontaneously, a crowd funding action was started, sponsors contributed and sufficient money was col-

lected to let Youri’s dream take part in the World Championship. Owners, Thomas Dol and his parents, did not stop after the fire and immediately planned the construction

of a new center bowlers to initiate the courses during an invitation tournament. A beautiful modern bowling Centre rose from the ashes, with a underground parking garage, party halls,

24 lanes with QubicaAMF scoring system and pinsetters, a new PROSHOP, and Kegel Training Centre, with video, Spectro and Torch system.

A PLAYS TO BE

Bowling Center Dolfijn at TILBURG The Netherlands , run by Thomas Dol and his parents is a household name in Europe. This year there are 2 major events on the program

Bronzen Schietspoel Tournament from 15 April to 22 AprilClick https://www.schietspoel.nl/

A silver category tournament which is part of the European Bowling Tour,a brand new lane maintenance, with Kegel Staff,Kegel Machines and chemicals, a new Pro Shop

A tournament with a total prize money of EURO 45,750, ==

Numerous topbowlers from European countries Sweden, Denmark, Belgium but also from South Africa and Singapore, Indonesia, like to attend this tournament. Xander van Mazijk, the flying Dutchman, the World Champion in the Single Event at Las Vegas last year is of course one of the participants. Former win-ners are Jesper Svensson Sweden, Thomas Larssen Denmark, Osku Palermaa Finland.

And more and more pro bowlers are joining like Parker Bohn III , Dom Barrett, Francois Lavoie Canada,Pontus Andersson Sweden.. The european players are waiting for the participation of pro’ s like Jason Belmonte, Chris Barnes. So hopefully they decide to join the tournament.

In 2016 Youri Fens performed to throw back-to-back 300 games in a row. Will he be able to repeat this year?

DOWNEY — It wasn’t pretty, but it was enough as Threadworks moved into 1st place in Round 5 by sweep-ing past The Professional Approach 5-0. The US Open pat-tern was playing especially tough tonight as most teams struggled. Paul Varela led the charge to the top, as he fired a very nice 604 series to lead the sweep. Danny Ly led Power House Video Games to a sweep of their own, as they took down Blizz Yogurt 5-0. Danny shot 625, while Greg Neuer led Blizz with 581. Team DV8 is once again in contention for the round lead, as Sam Hitchcock winged his way to 242/623 and led DV8 to a 4-1 win over Linder Insurance.

Linder was paced by Kurt Arakaki 592 and Kevin Val-monte 591. In the best scoring match of the night, Pino’s Pizza prevailed 3-2 as they held off Alhambra Coin Center to win Team Totals by 13. Both teams bowled well, finishing as #1 and #2 scoring teams for the night, and their pair was 250 pins higher than any other two teams combined scoring for a pair. Leading the way for Pino’s was Ramon Torres 627 & Leonard Ruiz 600, while Alhambra was led by Doug Kempt 660 & Steve Gaucin 608. Herzog Insurance took a 4-1 win over the PJ-less Los Altos Trophies team as Mikey Villarreal shot 625 for the winners, while Top Dog for the night went to Los Altos’ Buddy Lucas with a very fine 670.

In the roll off team matches, it was Erickson Foods once again losing the first two games, only to come back strong in Game 3 and not only win the game, but Team Totals. Er-ickson pulls within 2.5 games of holding the #1 seed with the 3-2 win, as nobody managed to shoot 600 series, Herbert

Jones led the way for Keystone Lanes with 589, while Jason Buenviaje shot 563 for Ericksons. Charlie Kinstler shot 614 to lead SYSCO to a 5-0 sweep of Forest Lanes who strug-gled all night to catch SYSCO. Mason Man O’Lantern Sher-man topped Forest with 589. American Harvest Vodka out shot CASAMIGO’S Tequila and won 4-1 as Kevin Jones rolled 588, while Vernon Adams topped the Tequila team with 565. Mike Jennings shot 594 to lead Tifco Industries to a 4-1 win over BOWLIUM, who had the pair’s high series, Craig Stevens with 623. Matt Mosley powered his way to 255 & 638 to lead Cook’s Bowling Supply to a 5-0 sweep over J.A.T. DeeRonn Booker led the Junior Amateur Tour team with 549. In the final pairing, it was GJC Services win-ning 3 points as Juan Zavala topped his squad with 511.

Sidepot winners were Game 1 – Sam Hitchcock 242 Game 2 –Jason Buenviaje 226 however the Financial Advi-sor’s pot was won by Buddy Lucas 225 for $240 with Leon-ard Ruiz Jr. 2nd place with 223 for $100. Game 3 Super Pot went to Mikey Villarreal 255, quite the contrast from last week where you needed 11 strikes or more to win. The TRUE ANCHOR award goes to a new winner, Barry Couch Jr. collected the honors with a 3 game set of 361.

One more week on the dreaded US Open shot to try and move into the Round Lead, improve your standing, or move up the ladder in the Roll Off seedings. I’m sure most can’t wait for May to get here, since we will be finished with this pattern. Hope to see you all down at Del Rio next Monday in Downey. Have a blessed week everyone!

Bowlium took game one by 65, but Keystone came back to take game two by 66 to set up a winner-take-all game three.

Eddie VanDaniker was huge with a 670 set for Keystone while Ramiro Garcia paced Bowlium with a 583 set.

Eric Snow paced Threadworks with a 598 set while Paul Barraco was big for Sysco with a 651 set. Sysco will drop out of the matches next week to bowl co-round winner J.A.T. in the bottom match.

Buddy’s Bowling Supply and Linder’s Insurance matched up their 16-9 records in the 5th vs. 6th matchup. Buddy’s came out and took games one by 22 and game three by 8, but dropped game three by 15 keeping it close enough to score a 15 pin win for totals and a 4-1 win.

Buddy’s Bowling Supply will move up to the “A” match and bowl Keystone Lanes with a shot at the round.
