Those players who know how to exhibit that trait have a huge edge, but it’s not an easy task. Simply put, bowlers get frustrated, irritated and sore when pins don’t fall a certain way. And that often leads to more frustration, irritation and soreness. On the other hand, if bowlers can shake off those in- evitable tough times, they accept the fact that adversity comes and goes.

Pum- meling pins for scores of 297-289-300, his 886 series would stand as the epitome of bowling excellence until July 1, 1982.

Was he just some guy who got lucky one night? Hardly. That series foreshadowed what the future held for this man. He would become a highly successful professional bowler with many accolades to his credit. Nicknamed, the “King of Bowling” by the locals, this 5’ 4” family man lived and loved this sport. The following is a brief resume of his bowling career.

Toe the line!” Steve: Did he ever talk about his friendships with any of the ABC officials or Board members? Anne: No. Dad just wasn’t a talker. He was a very private man.
