LAS VEGAS—The recently held World Series of Bowling held at South Point Lanes in Las WITH SANTA Vegas featured a 12-day marathon on the PBA’s Cheetah, Viper, Chameleon, Scorpion, and Shark SUNDAY DECEMBER 19th lane conditions that led to five national championships. In addition, the 60 game composite scores determined the final qualifying standings for the PBA NOON UNTIL 4 PM World Championship, including the top eight players who will return to South Point January 14-15- 16 for a first- ever three day live stepladder event. EVERYBODY RECEIVES… The same 60 games decided the field of six United States and six international players who will bowl first-ever USA versus The World team championship

If results of the World Series of Bowling are any indication of things to come, bowling fans will x Bowling and be seeing new faces, featuring more international players and the absence of some of the PBA’s most established stars. For example, Walter Ray Williams, #I on the PBA point list, Mike Scrog- gins, the #3 point leader, and such stars as Tommy Jones, Jason Couch, Ryan Shafer, Patrick Allen, x Shoe Rental Parker Bohn III, and Pete Weber, all failed to make any of the TV shows. More unbelievable, Walter x Ray Williams cashed in only ONE event, a probable indication that Williams may be nearing the end of his illustrious career. Additionally, Norm Duke made only one show and faired rather poorly in the other events (by Norm’s standards) x 2 Slices of Pizza No ladies, which included Kelly Kulick and Liz Johnson, came close to qualifying for the TV x and a Soda show. x Five players were top qualifiers for the TV show for the first time.… Don McCune, Columbis’s Andres Gomez, Scott Norton, Jun-Yung Kim of South Korea, and Canada’s Dan MacLelland. x Gift From Santa McCune set a nine-game scoring record iun match play, posting a 9-0 record and averaging 274.22 with games of 300, 253, 275, 279, 279, 236, x and 267. Mc Cune is the only one with a PBA title.

x Picture With Santa The Cheetah pattern is the only event that features five PBA players who reside in the United States. Every other final has at least one international player. x 4x6 Gloss With Folder The Scorpion pattern featured four foreign players, with Bill O’Neill the lone American bowler. Furthermore, the Shark pattern included three foreign bowlers, Dan MacClelland of Canada, Asku $20.00 PER PERSON Palerrmaa, of Finland, and Jason Belmonte of Australia, along with Tom Smallwood and Mike PREPAID Fagan as the only Americans. The USA bowlers who qualified for the World Team Championship were Bill O’Neill, . Sean Rash, Chris Barnes, Michael Haugen Jr., Wes Malott, and Ronnie Russell. Noticeably missing? Walter Ray Williams and Norm Duke. Please reserve a place for me to have lunch and bowl with Santa

NAME: ______PHONE # ______AGE_____ The World Team qualifiers were as follows: Osku Palermaa, Finland, Mika Koivuneimi, Finland (now a USA resident) Jason Belmonte, Australia, Amleto Monacelli, Venezuela, Kimmo Lehtonen, Finland, and Dan MacLelland, Canada. Judging from this roster, Finland appears to feature the NAME: ______PHONE # ______AGE ____ strongest contingent of foreign players.

CONTACT NAME: ______Daytime Phone ______Japanese bowlers, once a formidable force in the bowling world, have fared rather poorly dur- ing the past five years. Also, such bowling strongholds as Malaysia, Sweden, and Norway, haven’t had a serious impact in international play, while England and Korea have shown great strides in 21615 W Soledad Cyn Rd Saugus, CA 91350 competition outside their home grounds. (661) 254-0540 or visit us online at www.santaclaritalanes.com The 2010-11 PBA tour is but one-third of the way for the season but, by virtue of the results of the World Series of Bowling, there is every indication that bowling supremacy by superstars Norm Duke and Walter Ray Williams may be coming to an end. However, with all due respect to Williams and Duke, the World Series of Bowling has become an stumbling block for a number of PBA play- ers who later established their talents away from the 12-day grind. Only time will tell!

On the other hand, Bill O’Neill’s recent performances seem to stamp him as heir to the PBA throne, with Chris Barnes and Sean Rash continuing to hold their own.

Not too surprising, Chris Barnes is generally acknowledged as the BEST bowler on the tour (according to the consensus among PBA players)

Unfortunately for Chris Barnes, his TV record leaves a lot to be desired. Had Barnes recorded a respectable TV record, he would be close to, or over 20 titles…. a mark reserved for the greatest bowlers in PBA history, shared by only 12 players, and a sure entry to the PBA Hall of Fame.

BURTON continued from page 1 1976 – “Marshall Holman arrives!” 1978 – “Making the telecast myself and blowing the semifinal match against Teata Semiz by missing the 3-10 split. I felt like the tournament was mine if I get past that game.” 1981 – “Steve Cook bowling the best and most aggressive game I ever witnessed. Bowling 287, he put everything he had into every shot with that super strike ball that he possessed.” “Two other memories I have were Mike Durbin winning the Tournament of Champions with New Senior League three different bowling styles (big hook, full-roller and straight shot), and it still amazes me that three of bowling greats—Mark Roth, Dick Weber and Walter Ray Williams Jr. don’t have the Tour- Sponsored by Pioneer Medical Group nament of Champions on their resumes.” Originally conceived as a showcase for recent Tour champions, the Tournament of Champions and Cal Bowl!! is now open to all PBA titlists (national tour, senior tour and regional) and will be a week-long competition that runs Jan. 16-22, at the Red Rock Resort and Bowling Center. The addition of all PBA titlists will make the tournament even more challenging, according to Burton. “With its record prize fund and the addition of all the PBA titlists, it adds an enormous amount of prestige to the tournament,” Burton said. “With so much talent in one event I think it will be one of the hardest tournaments of all time to win.” STARTS FRIDAY Burton recalled the prestige of the Tournament of Champions during his run on the network, and how the PBA’s signature tournament was recognized by many of ABC’s top executives. “Bob Iger (now Walt Disney Co. CEO) and Dennis Swanson (former president of ABC Sports) were often in attendance for the TV finals, and of course, Harvey Firestone, who was CEO of Fire- DECEMBER 3 stone at the time was there as well,” Burton said. “Naturally it was a huge event that sometimes had live entertainment. I remember jazz great Pete Fountain and his orchestra performed live one year on the lanes adjacent to the TV pair.” ABC’s renewed coverage of the Tournament of Champions is part of the PBA’s three-year ex- at 1PM tension with ESPN which will run through 2013. The PBA has a long-standing relationship with ESPN, which began when the network launched in 1979. For the past seven years, the Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour finals have aired Sunday afternoons on ESPN. In addition to his return to the Tournament of Champions, Burton will also host the PBA Hall of Fame ceremonies the evening of Jan. 22 at Red Rock where Pedersen, a 13-time Tour winner, 11- Teams of 4 • No Max • Any Combo time Senior Tour titlist Dale Eagle, and lane maintenance pioneer Len Nicholson will be inducted - Beginners Welcome - into the Hall.
