Go Bowling
  • Rolling along

    Hello everyone, I realized today that it's been a while since I posted an update on here. Things just seem to be moving along, with a whole lot of excitement mixed in. Today is Day 115 of 154. I just got back from a week at the USBC Senior Masters...
  • Ron Vokes is safe

    Ron Vokes called me the other day with a couple of questions. The timing actually couldn't have been better, as I had just got done trying to beat his all-events total at the USBC Open Championships. Despite having my best year (607, 631 and 685 for...
  • The countdown

    In 56 hours, my team and I will be marching down Center Aisle at Cashman Center. There will be nerves, pressure to do well in front of my fellow employees, pressure to succeed for my friends and pressure to repeat or improve on last year's performance...
  • On the road once again

    Hello everyone, We actually had a five-day lull last week where nothing happened. I even got a call from a bowling writer who was concerned that something was wrong because he was no longer getting our press releases. It seems that the minute I explained...
  • Back in business

    Hello everyone, It looks like bowl.com is back in business, so it's time for another update. It has been an exciting week at the USBC Open Championships. First, we got a visit from 1969 Classic All-Events champion, Larry Lichstein, who had an interesting...
  • Whew

    Hello everyone. It has been a whirlwind week at the Open Championships. First, we had an exciting day on the lanes with the 15 NHRA drivers who came out to experience the Open Championships. Some of them were bowlers, and some were not, but the bottom...
  • Greetings from Reno

    Hello from Reno. Today is my final day at the USBC Women's Championships. It has been an eye-opening trip. I've had the chance to see the similarities and differences between the two events as well as the different demographic. Overall, the venue...
  • Headed to Reno

    Hello everyone, I'm just finishing up a few things before I head to the airport. As I mentioned before, I now will be playing a small role in the Media Relations Department at the USBC Women's Championships, too. I am headed to Reno this afternoon...
  • I've been called out

    Hello everyone, I've just been called out online and in person about how long it's been between blogs. I really can't believe how quickly the time flies out here, although most places don't have clocks anyway. Hopefully, I can get caught...
  • One week in

    Well, we've survived the first week of competition at the USBC Open Championships. We're into the groove now, and the new folks have picked things up pretty quickly. I also survived my 30th birthday. I worked my normal day, and it was business...
  • Two more days

    In less than 48 hours, the first of 306 team squads will be on the lanes at Cashman Center. After two months of construction and a month of unpacking and training, our venue and staff are looking terrific. Bowlers are checking in for Saturday. Pins are...
  • Business as usual

    Here I am, back at my desk at the Open Championships (this week it's the Masters). From here, I can hear the machines running and the pins falling. Just outside, the Tournament Services folks are feverishly unpacking and putting the department in...
  • Back at it

    This blog post is dedicated to Terry Bigham, one of the three people who has admitted to reading my ramblings. So far, I have managed to avoid many of the temptations of Las Vegas. I did, however, spend six of the last 10 days at Red Rock Hotel, Casino...
  • Vegas, baby!

    This is my first official post from Las Vegas. I arrived safely on Friday afternoon and settled back into apartment life. I spent part of Friday and Saturday driving around to get a feel for the area, and then I headed to Cashman Center to check things...
  • The day has come

    In 48 hours, my car will be packed, and I will be on my way to Las Vegas. The trip will be 1,196.81 miles and should conclude sometime Friday afternoon as I settle back into apartment living. The journey will take me through Amarillo, Texas, home of The...
