The win marked the third U.S. Women’s Open title for Johnson and first major victo- ry for Malott, who now owns eight PBA Tour titles. Johnson and Malott each earned $50,000 for winning their respective events and set up a special Battle of the Sexes match to crown the ultimate U.S. Open champion. Johnson earned an additional $10,000 by defeating Malott, 194-188. “It’s still going to take some time to process all of this,” Johnson said. “Com- ing into the week, I felt really strong physically and mentally prepared for sure, and it’s nice to have so much support from my family and friends.” Johnson, a 39-year-old right-hander, opened the U.S. Women’s Open champion- 2013 U.S. Open Champion’s Liz Johnson & Wes Malott ship match with six consecu- tive strikes on the way to a Masters, got redemption and cially close at the Masters af- leader. event from the first game of 257-195 win over defending the coveted U.S. Open green ter bowling really, really well “This is the most presti- the week and by as many as champion and top seed Kelly jacket by defeating Belmonte, there all week.” gious tournament in our sport, 449 pins.

Gene Does It Again by Carol Mancini DOWNEY — A couple of weeks ago I wrote a short story about a guy named Gene Pem- berton who rolled left handed in his league — AND substituted with his right hand. He was a one-man, two-handed, wonder- ment that day. Well, today a fax came in from Mike at Del Rio Lanes. It was a print-out of Gene’s scores for the “Good Sports Senior League”. Right handed — Gene 23750 ALESSANDRO BLVD. UNIT K, MORENO VALLEY CA 92553 shot 264, 256, 300 for 820. What a show! All the seniors (near 24 Hour Fitness) were amazed and happy for him. Most could relate to strings of strikes “in the good old days”. Even me. Congrats Gene! ALICE SAYS THANKS LAKEWOOD — When Roberta McNaught told me that she, husband David, Sue Barrington and Carol Mancini wanted to host a 90th Birthday Party for me, I said, “No way”. But you can’t tell Roberta “No”. My reason was, I have been away from bowling over two years and most of my friends were gone from the bowling scene. But she said I was wrong WINTER LEAGUES NOW FORMING and she was so right. Although my birthday was on July 21, I’ll now always re- member July 28 as my birthdate because that was the day that LEAGUE MEETINGS WILL BE HELD AT 6:00PM: I’ll always recall as the happy day when more than 25 bowlers came to Cal Bowl’s Conference Room to honor me. Roberta, David and Sue Bar- rington provided a huge beauti- fully decorated cake and punch. Carol Mancini provided the Cal Conference Room and coffee for the party. My son Patrick drove down ǡͻ ǡ   from Eureka to help deliver 47 years of “California Kegler’s” to spread out on tables for those ሺ ሻ who wanted to read, and take, ǡ ʹ͹ ǡ  copies before they were deliv- ered to a gentleman who plans to do something with them. I  can’t list all the bowling friends ǡͳ ͳ ǡ    who attended my party but I do want to thank them for honoring Call 951-595-8000 to sign up www.universalstrike.com me and for the gifts. I said not to bring presents but they did and I love them for doing it. Once again, I say thank you and let’s do it again when I’m 100!

NORWALK — Not only is Norm Duke a PBA Hall of Famer, winner of 37 titles, ranked 7th greatest bowler of all-time, but one of the greatest ambassadors of the sport of bowling (on and off the lanes) and someone I can call a friend. When I informed him that I wanted to do this segment with him as my first interviewee, he happily agreed.

1. Norm, you recently were here in Nevada for Bowl Expo, not only were you here for your manufacturer (Storm) but in the Next Level Booth. For those who are unfamiliar, tell us a little about Next Level Bowling, and what sets it apart from everyone else?

A: Next Level Bowling (www.nextlevelbowling.com) is a company that builds, manages and handles the book- ings for all kinds of events. Most of them have a coaching or clinic component but we do events where we handle the entertainment portion of a much larger event as well. Its loads of fun because each day is different for me because Next Level customizes the schedules for the customer and they all want different things. I also get to attend the Expo with our team as an exhibitor as well as represent Storm Products as a staff player. Good times!

2. You have pretty much done it all in the sport of bowling, and with your presumed entry next year into the PBA50, alongside of Parker, and joining Amleto, Walter Ray, and Randy Pederson, what do you feel that experience will be like for you, and what do you want to get out of it?

A: I am asked far to often now about my Senior tour aspirations and I cringe every time. It might be because I am in denial but I think its because I have always wanted to compete against the very best at the highest level, no caveats. I do reserve the right to change my mind but as of now there are no plans to tour with the seniors.

3. With the sport losing centers and pro shops all the time, what do you feel is needed to get new blood into the sport?

A: I think that the process has started and the kids will have a huge impact on bowling going forward. They relish in the idea of bowling as a sport and they love the greatest challenges. They want sport conditions, uniforms, singles and team concepts with colors on the line and they don’t like to have 200 handed to them and everyone else in the world because of ridiculously soft conditions. Sport is coming back into bowling and coupled with the vibrant open play activity, I think the industry is in a great place

4.l How do you feel about the trend of the PBA to combine multiple events jammed into one or two weeks of bowling (WSOB and now Summer Swing)? Do you feel this is beneficial to the sport, fans, and TV audiences (which includes PBA’s newest TV affiliate CBS Sports Channel)?

A: I think the decisions of the PBA have been very tough in the last few years given the rising costs of everything it takes to secure and hold events and the lack of spon- sorship moneys that have been awarded to bowling. The PBA has owners and although they have been very gracious with their funding in the past there has to be a model that works financially or the end is near. The PBA’s advent of the WSOB and the Summer Swing has enabled them to reduce the amount of costs per event and get closer to a profitable PBA with multiple network relationships. The team concept should do wonders for our television partners as well so there is much to look forward to from here and the PBA would like nothing more than to grow to the number of events they once had, or beyond.

5. As everyone knows, this sport is not just about the physical game, but the mental game, If you had to give one bit of advice on improving ones mental game, what would you say to the bowler?

A: Take responsibility for your own performance, ALWAYS! (Powerful yet straight to the point, wouldn’t you agree.)

Thank you very much Norm, I look forward to seeing you next time you visit our little town when WSOB comes back to town. UULTIMATELTIMATE UULTIMATELTIMATE

SAN BERNARDINO — I was planning to visit Del Rosa Lanes and watch the best SoCal se- nior bowlers compete for a West Coast Senior Tour (WCST) doubles title last weekend. I live just two miles from Del Rosa. Instead, after a chance meeting with PBA senior star PAUL NILSEN, I became a part of the tournament field. Instead of viewing the tournament from behind I was able to view the competition rubbing shoulders with the players. In fact, for the eight games of qualifying, Paul and I “crossed” with eventual winners Gannon and Sittman. Close up these guys are good.

The tournament was a member and nonmember doubles event with one partner having to be at least 50 years old and the other at least 60 years or older.

The tourney format called for eight games of qualifying with the top four teams advancing to a round robin playoff. Bonus pins were awarded to the teams winning each playoff game and for each bowler outscoring his counterpart. While four teams advanced to the playoff, five teams received checks.

After eight games the standings were:

1. Larry Rumple (1786 pins) and Pat Byrne (1943) 3729 pins 2. Paul Appling (1930) and Greg Neuer (1783) 3713 3. Kevin Gannon (1774) and Bob Sittman (1869) 3643 4. Ray Cobb (1843) and Ron Sandusky (1758) 3601 5. Mike Rick (1789) and Mark Dyer (1790) 3579 6. Gip Lentine (1737) and Larry Gray (1841) 3578 7. Gary Coultas (1633) and Marlow Dinger (1757) 3576 8. Dave Gulley (1633) and Don Moser (1846) 3479 9. Ken Racette (1703) and Eddie Katz (1769) 3472 10. Tom Andres (1674) and Ray Torres (1785) 3459 11.

Ed Jamison (1543) and Mike Fowler (1735) 3278 Contact Chris for details After round robin play and a position round game the final tournament standings were as follows: Prize & Point money is based on 16 teams Champions: Gannon and Sittman 5653 pins $1,400 Second: Rumple and Byrne 5617 pins $1,000 Third: Appling and Neuer 5420 pins $700 Fourth: Cobb and Sandusky 5321 pins $600

I like numbers and “WHILE NUMBERS NEVER TELL THE WHOLE STORY, THEY DON’T LIE.” So lets look at some of this tourney’s numbers.

The top individual performers during qualifying were: Pat Byrne (242 average), Paul Appling (241), Bob Sittman (233), Don Moser (230.7), Ray Cobb (230.3), and Larry Gray (230.1). As could be expected, four of these top five bowlers were on the top four finishing teams. My conclusion: most of the top scorers finished highest.

How about this, the six competitors on the left side averaged a cumulative 231 while the 24 on the right side averaged a cumulative 216. The top six right handers averaged a cumulative 228. My conclusion: There is no real difference when you compare the top bowlers on each side of the lanes. If there were 24 lefties in the field, I believe their cumulative average would be about the 216 posted by the two dozen righties in the field. Generally, when more bowlers bowl more games you can expect scores to go down. What do you think?

I recognize that with less bowlers on the left side the oil on that side won’t get moved around as much, but as I wrote above, the top righties were able to adjust successfully.

Hey, I am a seventy year old righty who averaged 208 in the tournament. I also know that while I am a good bowler, I am not as consistent as bowlers like Paul Appling, Pat Byrne, Mark Dyer, Kevin Gannon, Mike Rick or Bob Sittman. They are better than me and that is why they averaged a cumulative 231 and I averaged eight sticks above 200. Lane conditions had nothing to do with their outscoring me.

The tourney was very competitive. It was a shame that two very talented teams missed a check by one and two pins respectively. GIP LENTINE and LARRY GRAY finished one pin shy of fifth place, while GARRY COULTAS and MARLOW DINGER finished just two pins shy.

I had a blast competing against the best seniors SoCal has to offer and joking with Tournament Director DICK SANDERS. We senior scratch bowlers owe this man a big thanks. He and SST (Super Senior Tour) founder LEN MILES have provided us with a platform to compete on for over twenty years.

Remembering John “Junior” Powell is so easy because rarely has there been such a bowling man of all seasons. He was a battle hardened combat marine before he was old enough to vote and later he combined that hard earned toughness with the love of life, people, and bowling that only ended when he wa 84. A top bowler who loved competitive action in any form, whether he was betting a dinner on the outcome of a bowl- ing match, the run of one of his race horses, the prospects of a new product or business venture including many bowl- ing centers, he was a delight to know. You always knew he was there because he wasn’t bashful when he had an opinion—and he always had an opinion. Powell was a pioneer in many bowling efforts, starting iwth his rating as one of the best scorers in the game, then as solid leader of the Fort Worth Panthers in the shaky Na- tional Bowling League, on to one of the most innovative tournament creators and operators, a bowling pro shop owner when there were few pros in the field, and an un- matched booster of worthy, new bowling products. “I can sell a dozen of anything,” Junior once told me. He got no argument from me because he kept proving it. Later he got into the big, big time of business interests such as race horses among the world’s best, restaurants, and the most up to date and finely run bowling centers that bore the name backing and input of the legendary Don Carter. He was the first to offer his talent and treasure to any worthy bowling cause—institutional or personal. At one time Powell was one of the keen minds who helped design a plan whereby the PBA would build bowling complexes in each of the PBA’s then seven regions. Each would contain a bowling tournament section that also could be used for regular open play, clinics, seminars and con- structed to perfectly house TV and other media and com- munications. The complex would also include up to date pro shops, restaurants and possibly space for other entertainments and business. And most of the positions could be filled by the then current or former bowling pros, giving them more opportunities than ever before. Unfortunately, a law suit filed by some of the players put a halt to the plans and a revival time never came again, but Powell’s effort and genius was evident to all. One of his greatest personal moments came when he was elected to the American Bowling Congress Hall of Fame. It was one of the most well deserved selections and one of the most appreciated by any recipient of the honor. He long was an avid supporter of the Hall and its mem- bers, many of them close friends and attended all Hall functions until he became too ill to do so. His generosity is at the Hall for all to enjoy. He was a proud member of the Hall—but not as proud as the Hall and the sport were of him—the man of all bowl- ing seasons who has become a man of all bowling eter- nity. John Powell, a man easy to remember, on Memorial Day—or any day. Page 12 BOWLING NEWS August 1, 2013 CAL BOWL
