KULICK continued from page 1 here as well. When we learned that Kelly had surged into the final four averaging 231 for the final block of match play we were overwhelmed with emotion at the possibility of this being a history making moment. The news spread throughout those gathered for the opening and our BWAA meeting was postponed a half hour so we could all watch the show. Our group was hunkered down in a room at the Sheraton. We were cloistered in an almost fetal position on the couch hugging a pillow or coat – as though that made things more secure (this is what girls do) - TV set on. It felt like we were in the stands at Red Rock Lanes in Las Vegas. Kelly was in 2nd spot and would bowl the winner of the first match who happened to be Mika Koivuneimi – known for his ability to win in big events. Poised, and in control, she struck out to shut Mika out of the match 227-225. We could sense a purpose in each delivery. Now she would face 2009 Bowler of the Year Chris Barnes. We had to have some wine to calm our nerves. We roared and clapped right along with the crowd at Red Rock our stomachs doing flip flops with every strike. We had all seen pro tournaments before but this was definitely different! Kelly was focused, she was ready. Her signature smooth approach, perfect balance – the same every time – she was like a machine. She started with a four bagger and seemed cool and then a 10 pocket 7-10 popped up. She seemed unruffled and returned, seemingly steely, to the strike brigade and struck all the way out with nine on the final ball to defeat the struggling Barnes 265-195. Had she been intimidated? She says her opponents are just that – she bowls the pins. Although not obvious, she admitted her legs were like jelly but to us, it appeared the adrenalin took over. Maybe it was Chris who was intimidated. All week long through the 54 games of qualifying and match play the crowd was with her. Even her opponents wanted her to succeed. It was the wind beneath her wings. She had trained for this moment – the gym five days a week, Yoga – working on mental focus and stability and she had be- come a student of the game bowling with the pros in the men’s arena. She never blamed anyone or anything – she just learned from each experience. She said as she bowled with the men she became smarter and learned to adjust and make moves faster.

She had been training for this day since she began bowling on Saturdays with her family at CHECK-IN 8AM-9:30AM, BOWL AT 10AM Linden Lanes in Union City, New Jersey – a center where she says she has done most all of her bowling. She loved it and decided at a young age that she wanted to make bowling a career. We all jumped up and cheered as it became obvious that Kelly Kulick of Union City, New Jersey GUARANTEED PAYOUT: 1ST $2,000 had became the first women in the 51-year history of the Professional Bowlers Tour to capture a title - and it was a biggie. /%

With all due respect to other bowling pub- lications, BTM has become the Bible among pro shop operators and bowlers who take the game seriously. It is the realization of a dream come true for its founder, Bob Summerville, the most pas- sionate bowler-person I have ever met. Summerville not only published the magazine but, in order to make an honest evaluation of various balls sent to him by manufacturers, he tested every ball personally. I’ll never forget the first time I spoke to Bob. Following a suggestion from my good friend David Husted, Mr. Summerville called me in September 1995. He phoned me at my home in El Cajon, Ca. from Houston, requesting an interview. The following month, I received a copy of BTM with my picture on the cover. True to Bob’s character, the interview was written verbatim…in exact words, taped and unedited. I still have the copy and shudder at the words and adjectives I used to express my feelings and answers. Bob and I had several conversations after that. He loved to talk bowling. Many of our conversa- tions lasted from 30 minutes to an hour. Strangely, I never met him in person until he asked me to be one of the coaches at the first Super School in Taylor, Michigan in 1997. I’m honored to have coached at every Super School but, more important, it is gratifying to be apart of Bob Summer- ville’s legacy. I’ve been in the game over 60 years and can honestly state I’ve never met anyone with a greater passion for the game. I can’t recall anyone who not only emphasized the importance of proper in- struction…he supported his belief by striving to conduct the most comprehensive instructional pro- grams ever attempted. Over the years, Bob’s selection of top coaches/instructors for Super Schools included greatest names in the game..Fred Borden, Jeri Edwards, Palmer Fallgren, Susie Minshew, Rolf Gauger, Carmen Salvino, Bill Spigner, Bill Hall, Bill Holt, Susie Reichley, Mo Pinel, Dr.Dean Hinitz, myself and other highly qualified but lesser publicized instructors. Bob and I did several bowling clinics together in Pinole, Ca., a short distance north of San Fran- cisco. Bob drove from Houston because he refused to fly. Our clinics, were arranged by another passionate bowler and successful pro shop operator, Al Louie. We met every morning for breakfast and one thing stuck in my memory. Bob never drank coffee. Nor did he drink milk. He drank cokes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and sipped many more in between. He never used alcohol and didn’t smoke. He had energy to burn and never sat still. Bob asked me to become a staff writer for BTM shortly after we became friends. At that time, I rejected his offer because I felt a loyalty to Bowling Digest, a publication my articles had appeared in for several years. Later, after consulting with the editor of Bowling Digest, I was permitted to write for BTM, as long as the articles were not written in identical form. As well as I can remember, I penned my first column for BTM November 1999. Since then, with the exception of several issues where I have been neglectful of datelines, I have been a regular columnist and feel privileged to be included among some of the best writers/instructors in one of the greatest publications in bowling.
