February 28, 2019 CaliforniaBowlingNews.com Page 3 A Lifetime of Professionalism Thank You Note Reveals The Moral Quality of Leanne Hulsenberg At An Early Age by Dave Williams For most bowlers a thank you note to a tournament sponsor is an afterthought, and only thought about after said bowler has won the event. That’s why when I received a thank you note from rookie sensation Leanne Barrette way back in 1987, I knew that greatness in bowling was etched upon her soul. She was not the winner of the Seagram’s Coolers U.S. Open at AMF Major League Lanes in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, but the fact that she took the time to write a thank you note spoke volumes about the nineteen-year- old phenom from Fremont, California. Wait, did I say Fremont, California? Most people as- sociate the early years of Leanne Hulsenberg’s (nee Bar- rette) career to Oklahoma City, but it turns out that she developed her craft at the famous Cloverleaf Family Bowl in Fremont. When the General Motors plant in Fremont closed down, her father chose to stay with the company and relocate the family to Oklahoma City. Those early years of youth bowling at the Cloverleaf Family Bowl served Hulsenberg very well. She would continue a lifelong relationship with proprietor Mike Hill- man, son of co-founder Allan Hillman, who along with Don Hillman opened the popular facility some 60 years ago. The bowling center has been in the news recently, as it fights for survival against a group of developer’s intents on making the property yet another site for luxury condos. There’s an old adage in life that states “everything hap- pens for a reason,” or something to that effect. The move to Oklahoma City probably didn’t make sense to young Hulsenberg in 1983, but it afforded her an opportunity to forge new friends like Carol Norman and Gary Dickinson in the Sooner State and advance her bowling prowess to the next level. Leanne’s legendary career on the Professional Wom- en’s Bowling Association (PWBA) tour began with three titles and a Rookie of the Year award in 1987. She went on to record thirteen wins in just the first 5 years of her professional career. In 18 years on the professional circuit, Hulsenberg amassed 26 titles before the PWBA ceased operations in 2003. Along the way she also won a United States Bowl- ing Congress (USBC) Queens event, five USBC nation- al titles (singles, doubles, team and two all-events), the PWBA Bowler of the Year on three different occasions, Leanne Barrette-Hulsenberg The Greatest of All Time?

One can never remind players enough about bowling etiquette. This may be an appropriate time for that reminder because many new bowlers are midway through their lengthy nine-month fall seasons and might still need a brush-up on manners. As for those veteran bowlers who should know better . . . well, it doesn’t hurt to hear this lecture again. Remember, you’re not bowling in a vacuum. There are bowlers all around you. If you forget everything else, just remember this: Be considerate. Do you have a pet peeve about etiquette and courtesy when you bowl? I have one. When I release the ball at the foul line, oftentimes a bowler on an adjoining lane will thunder to my side and rifle his or her ball while I’m still tracking my shot and anticipating my upcoming pin action (or lack thereof). It’s easy to get startled by such an ill-mannered bowler . . . and annoyed. Why can’t that bowler just wait a few seconds and allow me to watch my electrifying shot (thinking positively) before I triumphantly return to my seat? The fact is that rudeness often prevails in a bowling house. It’s rarely intentional, but it can produce a heart-stopping – and irritating – moment or two. On the same topic, perfectbowling.com, a nifty website that provides bowling tips, advice and other interesting data, came up with its list of nine bowling rules for etiquette and courtesy. So here goes – the etiquette rules from perfectbowling.com: 1 – The first rule in bowling is to never bother another bowler while they are in the process of bowling. 2 – Bowlers on the right-hand lane have the right-of-way to bowl first. 3 – Never pick up your ball from the return rack while another bowler is preparing to bowl and is in his/her starting position. Fred Eisenhammer: Also, don’t start cleaning your ball while climbing onto a lane next to another bowler who is getting ready to bowl. It can be extremely distracting. In other words, don’t be so eager to take your shot. The pins will still be standing! 4 – Refrain from using obscenities or vulgar gestures. 5 – After your shot, let others bowl. Fred Eisenhammer: In other words, don’t linger on the lane after your shot. 6 – Wear proper shoes. 7 – Keep food and other refreshments off the approach. 8 – Remember, there are others waiting to bowl. Fred Eisenhammer: In other words, don’t wander off aimlessly . . . or socialize too long when your turn is about to arrive. 9 – Above all else, have fun. I’ll add Rule No. 10 to the list: 10 – Let the bowler next to you complete his or her turn and walk back to his or her seat before you start your approach. Of course, it’s inevitable that some bowlers will slip up from time to time, so it’s important not to get flustered if someone violates one of these rules. No slamming your bowling ball on the lane in disgust. Distractions happen – even when pros are bowling. Remember, it’s just a game. So, enjoy it. And be a good citizen and let others enjoy it as well! February 28, 2019 CaliforniaBowlingNews.com Page 9
