Rob Piroozshad found a way to persevere with blood, sweat, and tears, and come from behind in the very last game to outlast 26 other bowlers and win the $1200 guar- anteed top prize here at Forest Lanes. This tournament featured dual patterns, using the 47’ Statue of Liberty pattern on each left lane, and the 32’ PBA Wolf pattern on each right lane. The scoring pace was low, as only five bowlers were able to finish plus. Piroozshad stumbled out of the gate with a 151, flagging three single- NO-TAP TOURNAMENT pin spares, but he used his prior experience of winning to TH claw his way back.

OF BOWLING “There was a considerable time gap between the last time the PBA had an active players’ group and now,” Page said of his role ON NOVEMBER 11TH in the new group. “My heart has always been wanting to help bowling, and I saw this as a great opportunity to serve the Tour.

I think we’ve been delriolanes.com keystonelanes.com forestlanes.com calbowl.com saddlebacklanes.com countryclubbowl.com making a lot of great strides in that direction. “One of our biggest goals was to create a structure for the players’ committee and to develop a strategic plan covering what we hope to accomplish, so we can let all of the other players see what the big picture is,” Page concluded. “Our next step is to improve those communica- tions and let the other players know their opinions are important in what we’re trying to build for the future.”
