OK, heres my take about the scoring pace at the Proprietors Cup today:

Bowlers never win a tournament shooting "avg" you have to shoot above avg to win, I am certain without a whole lot of research that 90% of the guys in this field at the Proprietors Cup avgs 230+ on a house shot in their leagues. Averaging 230 to make the cut may be hard to me and others bcuz thats not our avg...(I avg more like 195-205 :) You are not going to get guys to shoe up against the pros on their A games…

First off a special thanks to all of the bowlers that helped make this first year of the league a success. This was by far the most competitive league I have ever bowled in. Also, was the best payout I have seen in years.



Thanks to Bruce Richardson the owner of Metro Lanes and Games for his hospitality and support in making this one of if not the best paying league in the city. Thanks to Sandra Edmonds the Sec/Tres. for all of her hard work helping me keep everything organized.… Continue

Effective today, the format for the RealBowlers Tour has been tweaked a little. We have found a way to add an additonal game to qualifying.





There will now be a total of eight (8) games instead of seven (7). So, the new format will be:

Two rounds of qualifying, everyone bowls five (5) games, cut field in half, bowl three (3) more games, cut to Top 8. Top 8 has three (3) rounds of seeded match play to the champion (these matches will be one game elimination) – don’t have to… Continue

Last seasons point race, to Isom Hawes of East Point, GA credit was not really a race at all. After 4 tournaments he basically ran off with the points and I feel everyone else kind of gave in to the race. This season on the other hand is a pretty tight battle with just two tournaments left.

Lee Vanderhoef of Greenville, SC started the first 4 tournaments as if he was going to do the samething this year, but fortunately for us and the bowlers that are in the top 5 listed here,… Continue

Before I start I would like to first of all take the time to thank all the "Real Bowlers" that came out and supported the RealBowlers Tour. Congrats to Jim Wolcott and Joshua Harper for showing the mental toughness and sportsmanship that we love to see.

Today was a day of adversity and challenges. We first had bad weather, that should have been a sign.:) The oil pattern we requested, advertised and confirmed… Continue

Question, What is the one thing that you have in your head when you are bowling good. (good for one person may be different from another, we want to hear from everyone) What is the one or two things that you tell yourself to keep you on that string of strikes or on that great series? It may be several things. Share them with the rest of us.

Which ball do you wish you still had or never want to let go of? I believe everyone has had a ball that was drilled perfect, came off their hands the right way, average increased, you name it. I personally had a Orange Pirahna that I loved. It would hold when I tug it (as always). And it would come off the ditch back to the pocket when I threw it out. Unfortunately, my ball got chewed up in the machines at AMF Union City. I opted to replace it for some strange reason with a Critical Mass. I… Continue
