I have wanted to do this project for a number of years. In the past five years I have created my own bowling publication called The Josh Hyde’s Bowling Newsletter. It covers the PBA Tour as well as the Central PBA Re- gion. It also covers the new bowling balls for the Brunswick Bowling Company. In this guide you will find summaries about each tournament, the Top 50 analy- sis, the top 10 of the top 50 comparisons, Hall of Fame career statistics, a PBA 50 2012 season recap, and the PBA 50 2013 recap. Regional RPI’s and finally a list of entries from the 2012 World Series of Bowling from each region is included. In addition to the guide, there are PBA media releases and a tournament packet about the 2012-13 majors, discussing the winners of each of these majors. Additionally, there are tourna- ment notes with facts about the champions. There have been studies that I have done that are about majors, awards and career stats of the best bowlers in the world. I have also included a brief history on what I have done involving the PBA as well as what my viewpoint is on Professional Bowling. I have been to 102 PBA Tournaments including 25 majors. I have been an honorary PBA member for 12 years. The history for the past 55 years of the PBA is also a part of the guide. The PBA is the greatest bowling tournament organization in the history of professional bowling. Please enjoy this recap of the 2012-2013 PBA tour season. Becoming an Avid Fan of the PBA The first season I remember becoming an avid PBA fan was in 1989. Mike Aulby had just won back-to-back titles, the BPAA US Open, and was on his way to win the Triple Crown at the Firestone Tournament of Champions. He was going to have a hard time winning the tournament. He had a good start, however, he did not win that tournament. He had a very good line at the pocket, and it looked like he was going to top the $300,000 earnings mark. During the season, Aulby also won the PBA Doubles Tournament with his brother-in-law Steve Cook. They beat Parker Bohn III and Duane Fisher for the title. Aulby had also won two majors—the US Open and his first of three USBC Masters titles. Also in that season, Pete Weber became the third player in PBA history to complete the Triple Crown with his win at the PBA National/World Championship. Amleto Monacelli was becoming a dominant player and ended up getting Player of the Year. Aulby didn’t make the $300,000, but he made his name known on the pro bowlers tour on ABC-TV. Ron Bell was a new winner on the PBA tour. The story behind him was that he was going to be able to compete in the Firestone Tournament of Champions in his hometown. Having a bowler’s family and friends behind him at the tournament is one of the best things that a bowler can have. Jim Pencak started winning games on his 15-game winning streak. Steve Hoskins made his first telecast at the Showboat Tournament and later would earn Rookie of the Year. Amleto won the Tucson Tournament. Dave Husted was climbing the ladder, and it looked like he was going to win the tournament. However, Amleto had something to say about that. That was really interesting to watch in the PBA. It was a great year to become a PBA fan. Going to PBA Tournaments Why do I watch the PBA? It’s because I am so amazed by what these bowlers can do with a bowling ball. It makes us want to become the best bowlers that we can ever be. From picking up a 7-10 split to throwing a 300 perfect game—this is what our favor- ite bowlers do for a living. Bowling fans around the world come and watch their favor- ite bowlers hoping to become one of them someday. I have figured out that I have been to 98 PBA tournaments in my 27-year bowling career. This includes 24 major tournaments, 32 PBA National tournaments, 5 PBA Senior tournaments, 25 Regional tournaments, and 13 Senior Regional tournaments. It always amazes me what the greatest players can do with a bowling ball. Just by observing the greatest bowlers in the world, much can be learned. It always makes me want to go to a PBA tournament even if it is just a PBA Re- gional tournament. Even at the regional level, you might see a Walter Ray Williams Jr. or a Pete Weber. You may also say that’s an easy tournament for them to bowl, but the re- ality is that the top regional guys are pretty good too. I have seen many different things happen on the PBA Tour and the Regional Tournaments. The bowlers that we see week in and week out on ESPN are definitely the best bowlers in the world. Watching your favorite player in person is more pleasing than watching them on TV. There is so much you can see by being there, instead of watching it on TV. Watching the Majors Tournaments in person is exceptionally exciting because you can see what your player is going through for a long period of time. I would rather go to see a major bowling tournament than a standard PBA tournament. Regional Tournaments are interesting because you see your local Joe Bowler try to master a pattern at that tournament. You see them as their confidence builds to where they feel they could take on a pro. Except when it comes time to keep score, sometime it’s hard to stay above 200. One regional in particular was Georgetown Bowl. When Chris Loschetter won his second tournament there and his comment was that the scor- pion pattern was harder than the PBA Tour pattern. During the first few games, Chris had to work with a couple 160 games at the start of the block. He adjusted, and as a re- sult he ended up as the leader of the squad. All of these things put together make re- gional tournaments hard to predict, but fun to watch.

  • Danny Wiseman Superior Performance
    Danny Wiseman Superior Performance Danny Wiseman was born in Baltimore on September 24, 1967 to Dorothy H. Wiseman- Potter and the late Albert P. Wiseman Jr. He has one sister, Catherine A. Wiseman. Danny graduated from Dundalk Senior High School in 1985. As a child Danny was an avid baseball player, with bowling being a close second. Danny started bowling at age 5 occasionally going with his father and sister to Fairlanes Eastpoint to bowl duckpins. By 6 years old tenpins had become the bowling game of choice and at 7 he was averaging 119. Many nights were spent at home bowling in the basement with his dad using plastic pins and tennis balls. Dad would set them up and I would knock them down every night recalls Danny. Saturdays were quite hectic with bowling in the morning and baseball in the afternoon. “I was always late for baseball practice” says Danny, but the coach tolerated it because I could throw a fastball for strikes at 50+ mph at age 9 and was also a good third baseman. As a kid there were many trips from his house on Berkshire Road through the Burger King parking lot and then running across Merritt Blvd. with 4 - 8 bowling balls to Fairlanes Dundalk to practice every day. That was back before 3 ball rollers. “A luggage cart with straps worked” says Danny. Little did he realize that some 20 years later, 50+ balls loaded into his SUV would be the norm. Eventually bowling took precedence over baseball and at the age of 15 in January 1983 at Fairlanes Dundalk, Danny became the youngest bowler in the Maryland AJBC to bowl a 300 game and 750 series.
