Bowling Philosophy-May 2010

  1. As usual, excellent post. I agree that Kulick's season was one of the best I've ever seen for a woman or man. I also agree that the young women you mentioned, along with Michelle Feldman, Clara Guerrero, and possibly a few from Malaysia, Singapore, and elsewhere abroad, comprise a major portion of bowling's female vanguard.

    However, I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss CDB, Lynda Barnes, or the other more experienced competitors you mentioned as washed up has-beens. They can still challenge in any women's tournament, as this year's U.S. Open amply demonstrated.

    By the way, I think it will be a very bad thing if no one sponsors the Open next year. I'm hoping the BPAA or someone else steps up to the plate.

    Finally, in reading your words about Bill O'Neill and Leanne Barrette Hulsenberg, I have to say that I'm really looking forward to the all-day bowling clinic in which they'll be participating in my home house on 6/6. I've never attended a bowling clinic before, and this should be a great introduction to the genre. Also, bowling psychologist extraordinare Dean Hinitz is supposed to teach there too.

  2. Steve, I hope you enjoy the clinic. As someone who bowled against Mr. O'Neill in college, he is an amazing bowling talent. It might be biased on my part, but I am glad he is a winner at the game's highest level and hope he carries the sport for the next 10-12 years to come.

  3. Can't really argue that, however people would dispute the nature of how the format was set up and that any event during the WSOB was entering the "scam" format. Make that argument all you want, but a major win is a major win is a major freakin' win.
