Remember, a ball laid, dropped or dumped on or at the foul line is ineffective by the time it reaches the pins. It rolls to much and too far and it is all pooped out at the pins. Such a ball is traveling is slowest at the contact point, believe it or not. Tuesday, February 13, 2018 - Sunday, February 18, 2018 Go Bowling!

Simply put, Johnson's accomplishment is historic. That being said, I believe Liz will accomplish even more in the years to come and supplant MARION LADEWIG as the GREATEST FE- MALE BOWLER OF ALL TIME. Finally, it was shocking to witness the United States women no longer dominate at last years World Champi- onships in November. The Masters competition was especially disap- pointing when only three of our women made the cut to the final six- teen and then all lost their first finals match. While disappointing, this story has a silver lining. The world has caught up with us! Maybe the best bowlers in the world come from Asia! While it is disappointing that we didn't win many Gold Medals, these results may be a blessing in disguise. Now that the rest of the world can beat us at our own game, it proves Bowling is truly an international sport. It is good for our sport. It makes a strong argument in favor of Bowling as an Olympic Sport when the best bowlers in the world come from all parts of the world and not just from the United States. Keep your eyes open. My bowling predictions for 2018 are just around the corner.
