One thing the Glover Tournament Committee strives to do is try something new to see if it fits what tournament bowlers are look- ing for these days. So this year the GTC has joined forces with the Central Valley Masters and both events will take place at the same center, Regency Lanes – 820 Real Road in Bakersfield, to enable bowlers to compete in both events if they wish. Both events have worked to get sponsors to enable a worthy first place purse as well. The Glover Masters Scratch guarantees $3,000 for first while the Central Valley Masters Handicap guarantees $2,000 for first! Both events squads will complement each other so bowlers can bowl in both if they so wish. That’s one change. Another is the Glover Masters moved their first qualifying squad on Saturday later to 12 noon which gives bowlers an opportunity to come to the event on Saturday and not have to book a hotel room Friday night.

He has been on the Storm staff for 17 years and is now the company’s technical adviser for Asia. Prior to his international coaching, Purvis was a professional bowler on the PBA Tour. “I feel very honored to receive such a prestigious award and to know that for the 13 years of being in Asia that my hard work and dedication to the Sport of Bowling has been recognized,” he stated after his award was announced. “There are so many people to thank and I could not have done it with out the help from all these people. Thanks a million to Vivien Lau for giving me the opportunity and a great job in 1998 where it all started in Hong Kong and she has supported me and been like a mother to me. Thanks to Terry Larsen and Ron Hoppe who took me in in 1993 in Seattle and groomed me to be a better coach and Pro Shop manager, from which I learned so much.
