DID YOU KNOW??

Attention GA Bowlers!! After going through the winners on the RealBowlers Tour I was shocked at what I found.
Did you know that this is the third season of the RealBowlers Tour? We have had 21 tournaments in the first two seasons of the RBT including two this year and there has only been five won by someone in GA.

The small list includes:
Tony Harvey (Holiday Scratch Singles 2006)
Isom Hawes (St. Patricks Day 2007)
Jason Sterner (Alabama Scratch Open 2008)
Jake Washington, youth bowler (Eric Defreitas 2008 and Super Bowl Scratch 2009)

Congrats to these guys! I feel like GA can represent more we just don't participate enough to give ourselves a chance.

I see on a weekly basis the talent level we have here and know that we can represent a lot more in these tournaments. The ladies in Atlanta have come out in full force and represented (LaTonya Walker and Tesa Dyson) even though there has only been two that we have done.

What are everyone thoughts on this.

Thats a shocking stat Theo. We have the same problem in Greenville. No one would ever show up to bowl a scratch tournament when one came around, well i say no one but really its not alot of people showed up. Thats one of the biggest reasons there are no tournaments ran in the upstate of SC.

Yeah I'll agree with what Nick said. There are tons of good bowlers in this city, but many either don't have the funds or time to play. I know I have a second child on the way in June, and my tournament time will go to almost zero for a while after that. I think with the push of this site and Chases' we might see an upswing in activity....at least I hope so.
