We Have A Phantomby Dave Williams Report!! Is it just me, or have the scores suddenly increased on the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) Tour? Ever since Bowlero Corporation purchased the PBA on September 10, 2019, the scoring has been noticeably higher, with flashes of brilliance that have never before been realized on television. It all began during the FloBowling ATX Invitational in Austin, , during the week of September 14th, and it hasn’t stopped. During the inaugural FloBowling ATX event, Bill O’Neill of Langhorne, Pa., solidified himself as a Hall of Fame candidate by winning the invitation only event with a two-game total of 494 over runner-up Jason Sterner, Rochester, N.Y., for a $25,000 first place payday.

Although this event provided for lower than average scores, it’s interesting that the two finalists bowling for the title in the Jiangsu province were both from small towns in Illinois. Not to worry - the tournament was held in mid-November, and approximately 460 12th LAUGHLIN miles from Wuhan, site of the deadly Coronavirus pandemic. The Bowlero Elite Series of 2019 was next on the list of tournaments, with Tommy Jones of Simpsonville, BLAST S.C., blasting a 266-200 victory over league standout Garrett Shovan of Denver, for the $100,000 first prize.

Is it because of the purchase of the professional 10019 Tecum Road Cell: (310) 701-2690 organization by the Bowlero Corporation? Downey, CA 90240 Email: [email protected] Or perhaps it’s because of the new CEO of the PBA, Ms. Colie Edison, who also serves as Bowlero’s Chief Customer Officer? As Margaret Thatcher once said, “If you want something said, ask a man; if you want something done, ask a woman.” Yu-Gi-Oh!, Magic The Gathering, Pokémon Baseball, Basketball, Football, Hockey, Whatever the reason, there’s a definite change in scoring.

We (310) 675-3333 Colie Edison attempted to solve the problem by limiting the amount and distance of dressing Phil & Phyl Knoll Proprietors on the lanes. But just as with the equipment advances, proprietors discovered a way to work within our guidelines to provide a scoring condition that was sanctionable, and yet allowed for higher scoring. I always felt that our job was done because as a bowler, there was no worse feeling than to have your score ESTABLISHED 1940 turned down by the USBC. And as a proprietor, the feeling was even worse, because you felt responsible for CALIFORNIA the bowler’s anguish. I’m sure that the local association representatives felt some concern as well, although their decision could sometimes be considered subjective. Bowling News In my personal experience, I remember when I bowled my very first 800 series, an 811 at Greenbrae Lanes in Greenbrae, California (near San Rafael). The league secretary had been slow in submitting the sanction MAILING ADDRESS EDITORIAL OFFICE application, and the score was initially turned down for that reason. When the secretary and I both wrote 7502 Florence Ave. 11459 Imperial Hwy. letters to Mr. Al Matzelle at the American Bowling Congress explaining the situation, the score was eventually Downey, CA 90240 Norwalk, CA 90650 sanctioned.

Svensson, Troup Qualify No. 1 for Roth-Holman PBA Doubles Finals INDIANAPOLIS – Sweden’s Jesper Svensson and Kyle Troup of Taylorsville, North Carolina, ran away with the No. 1 berth for Saturday’s finals in the Mark Roth-Marshall Holman PBA Doubles Championship at Royal Pin Woodland Friday but the rest of the finalists had to survive an intense final round of matches to advance. Svensson and Troup, a pair of two-handed bowlers who won the Roth-Holman Dou- bles title in 2017, won 13 of their 16 Baker format matches and posted a 44-game total of 11,090 pins to lead runners-up of Yakima, Washington and EJ Tackett of Bluffton, Indiana by 582 pins. Svensson, an eight-time PBA Tour title winner, is in position to win two titles in India- napolis. He also won Saturday’s finals of the Go Bowling Indianapolis Open. Rounding out the field of five teams that will compete for the doubles title are Kris Prather of Plainfield, Illinois and of Holly, Michigan with 10,393 pins; Jakob Butturff of Tempe, Arizona and Finland’s Osku Palermaa with a 10,378 total and Anthony Simonsen of Little Elm, Texas and England’s Dom Barrett at 10,350. Bill O’Neill of Langhorne, Pennsylvania and Jason Belmonte of Australia missed the finals for the first time in five years as partners by four pins. Four other teams finished within 82 pins of qualifying for the television finals that will be taped to air on FS1 on Sunday, March 8, at noon. The doubles tournament was contested on a “dual lane condition” environment in which the 42-foot Mark Roth oiling pattern was applied to the left lane and the Marshall Holman 37 pattern to the right lane.

IN STRIKE MODE – ST. LOUIS TEAM BREAKS HIGH GAME WORLD RECORD by Bette Addington, California Bowling Writers St. Louis, MO – Did you catch the post that bolted across Facebook on Friday evening, February 28, about the five-man team from St. Louis posting a game that was just three strikes short of a 1,500?!? Incredibly, this senior team rolled a 1,457 for their first game of the night competing in the Tri-Challenge league at Concord Bowl in St. Louis, MO. The previous record was 1,434 and was also bowled in the St. Louis area by the team Buckets on Deck in November 2011. The team, Shelter Insurance--Tom Grimm (52), Mark Hood (58), Ron Testa (60), Tom Shucart (61) and Gregg Getzlow (62) --have been bowling in this big-time money league for three seasons now and have known and bowled against each other locally for decades. Hood & Getzlow have each won a Regional title and all of them have bowled and cashed in Regionals. This season, Hood & Grimm bowl two leagues a week, while the other three only bowl this league and sub. This team bowls tournaments when they can. Coming into the league this past Friday night, here’s what averages each teammate had: Grimm (229); Hood (235); Testa (219); Shucart (227) and Getzlow (228). Mark Hood, who had been struggling the last month or so with the first game of the night decided he would drill up the brand-new Hammer Fugitive and give it a try which proved to be a BIG move! Added, Hood, “We all drill new equipment at times trying to keep up with the young guys and at least for one night we did!” Picture this—they all struck through the fifth frame (so much for a beer frame!). The first non-strike was bowled by Grimm (third in the lineup), who stuck a 10-pin in the sixth frame, which, of course he picked up. The strikes returned through the seventh, eighth and ninth frames and the team posted the following games: Getzlow (289); Testa (300); Grimm (279); Shucart (300); and Hood, the lone lefty (289)! That’s 55 strikes for the 58 opportunities. Remarkable! Mark Hood said, “It was mentally tough! We got done and you were drained,” said about achieving this feat. Concord Bowl sponsors this Tri-Challenge league which bowls three nights (Tues., Wed. & Fri.), and it is a handicap, big-money league, so obviously it’s competitive and teams strive to make the play-offs. Shelter Insurance has made the play- offs the last two years; however, they have never won the league. Their goal this season is to win one of the halves of the split season. WPAs for whether they knew what they were achieving, “We did not know until after we were done. Thankfully!! We, of course, knew we were doing something special and I think we all knew we had to be close but like in most sport endeavors, we did not mention it to Western Pacificeach other until we Bowling were done. It was very Supply, special because weInc. all had grew up bowling with and against each other and have been friends through bowling for many years. I don’t think any of us knew how similar we were in our extreme competitive nature until we started bowling together. We found we love bowling together because of this and our Photo credit: Steve Orf competitiveness as a unit, I believe, culminated in setting this word record score. We were all bowling for each other not wanting to let each other down and that is what I believe 1457 SHELTER INSURANCE made us have the ability to all throw good shots when it counted,” said Hood.

Struckman continued from page 1 bowled there for a year before moving on to La Habra “300” Bowl, a place that he owes so much of his success to. “La Habra 300 was a huge part of my success,” he said, “I owe many thanks to everybody over there, and especially to Dexter Harrod, Ed Saleh, Scott Kraye and Glenn Allison”. There wasn’t much Struckman didn’t do at La Habra 300. He worked the front desk, was customer service and even spent some time as assistant manager on the weekends. In 2009 he became a level 1 youth coach, helping to shape the future of La Habra 300’s bowlers. This was a venture that would open another door even though Struckman didn’t know it at the time. He capped off this year by being named La Habra 300’s Bowler of the Year. “I became passionate about the game and the culture of the center (La Habra 300), and I wanted to be part of it, and I vowed to become a better bowler and person around the center,” Struckman said. That passion led Struckman to bowl Nationals with former PBA bowler and Hall of Famer Glenn Allison, who also known as Mr. 900 (if you don’t already know, it was at La Habra 300 that in 1982 Allison shot the first-ever 900 series, a controversial one that was never sanctioned) and former PBA bowler Scott Kraye. It also led him to bowl in many Junior Amateur Tour events, where he met two of his best friends DeeRonn Booker and Kevin Jones. He would bowl in JAT events until he and his friends aged out in 2012. Six months before Nationals, Struckman injured his thumb squeezing the ball too much, and was forced to either rethink his approach quickly or not bowl. The second option was not a serious thought, and another door opened for Struckman: two-handed bowling. It was a huge difference for him. His 217 average suddenly dipped to 170. He wound up bowling decently at Nationals. When his thumb healed, he decided to stay with his new approach, and worked hard at it. “It’s a lot harder than it looks,” he said, “It (two-handed bowling) takes a lot of practice, dedica- tion and commitment,” he said. His motivation to continue with it were his favorite PBA bowler Jason Belmonte, and local standout Wesley Low Jr.. He figured he would give himself an opportunity to try it. Hard work wasn’t just put forth on the lanes though, he did so in the classroom too. Originally, as a Fullerton student he wanted to become a teacher in physical education. He graduated in 2009 from Fullerton High School before getting an associate degree in social behavior from Fullerton City College. However, that changed in the university, where he obtained a bachelor’s degree in business administration and marketing and certificate in professional sales in 2015 from California State University, Fullerton. Two of his favorite things met each other when Struckman became a marketing intern for Belmonte’s International Art of Bowling, where he helped Belmonte and Diandra Asbaty with the brand’s website and social media content. His duties included Skyping with the bowlers, helping them to plan blog posts and to give tips to bowlers. As he was ready to graduate from school, his internship also wrapped up, and Struckman made a decision to move from Fullerton to Seattle to pursue a career as a sales manager with JCPenney. It didn’t last long. He wound up back in Orange County, where he worked with Enterprise Rent- a-Car in its Management Trainee Program, helping customers in the Anaheim-Disney district and Adult City Championships John Wayne airport.

He bowls amateur events once a month and is working toward bowling on the PBA Regional Tour. In 2018 he attended trade shows for Master Industries, Storm and Roto Grip. His coaching program is known as “Bowl Better,” a catchphrase he lives by on a daily basis. It’s about bowling better and taking that bowler and their fundamentals to the next level. Rather than change them and doing “cookie cutter” work, take their strengths and make them stronger. Some students who have learned from him hail from Mexico, Saudi Arabia and South Korea. Out-of-state students include some from Colorado, Hawaii and . “John is very knowledgeable about bowling,” Donna Siemann, a bowler at Del Rio Lanes said, “I like his coaching style with our grandson David and look forward to his next lesson.” His students can always call or even text him for advice on what they should do while bowling. He is ready to help bowlers of all skill levels. “As a 200-plus average house shot bowler, I am below 190 on sport-shot patterns,” Clinton Meche, a bowler at Keystone Lanes said, “before throwing my first ball, John and I talked about what I was looking to improve on. He immediately diagnosed my balance and ball release issue. A lot of lessons consisted of “classroom” work and understanding the game. I look forward to more sessions with John as I prepare for the Brunswick Invitational next season,” he said. The support he has gotten from family, friends and employees of all bowling centers is tremendous. He is currently bowling in the Brunswick Invitational at Del Rio Lanes, sponsoring his own team with Bowling Guys. His practice regimen is three days per week consisting of about 20 games, keeping him sharp for competition and to one day bowl in the PBA Regional Tour. One thing Struckman has noticed about bowling is that some people see it as a game, while others appreciate it for the science that it is. He feels it should be appreciated for all sides of it, but also the love of the game. “Everybody should bowl to have fun and to knock over the pins the best way they can,” Struck- man said. continued page 9 March 5, 2020 CaliforniaBowlingNews.com Page 9

Struckman continued from page 8 His typical day consists of a series of lessons, answering phone calls and text messages from students and pro shop clients, visiting the three pro shop locations and working at them, helping to drill and sand bowling balls, and introducing bowlers to the ball, bag Bowling Calendar and shoe combo, which saves bowlers $35.
