This is another very special day for Australian Tenpin bowling. Win or not this very talented young guy has proved once and for all that being a little different than 'the text book' can be the way to go. Every one of us who cares about our sport should cross everything we can for...

Jason eliminated from round of sixteen by Jeff Carter four games to one. Jason's only winning game was an oustanding 274. Still yet another great effort on the toughest of all bowling stages.

Shayne, I believe the way it worked with the plastic balls is as follows: PTQR (players qualifying round for non exempt players) they can use normal balls. Then once top 64 is determined all players are issued two identical plastic balls which they can drill anyway (legal of course) they...

For those of us keen to follow the ever growing bowling career of Jason Belmonte it's great to see that he has made it through the qualifying round of the GEICO Plastic Ball Championships in the US. Jason is currently in 9th place, of the event, after six games of the round of 64 PBA...

Just noticed that Jason Belmonte is in 17Th place after five games of qualiying for the PBA's Dick Weber Open in the US. Also Malaysian star Shalin Zulkifli is just ahead of jason in 13th and is the only female in sight at this early stage. Good luck to both of you guys..I for one will be...

You know your a league bowler when you announce to the league players (as we did this week) that your TBA dues this year will be $27.50 and you get a reply from over 60% of the members "What's a TBA?"

Jason, respect you and your talents very much mate...but without these 'lesser skilled or lesser practiced bowlers' you cant have a tournament in this country. Why numbers are so pathetic in Austraian bowling events is because the lower average player gets absoultely nothing out of the...

Just noticed that list of countries competing on the official tournament website, as of yesterday, did not include Australia. Is it possible that we've done it yet again...nah must be a clerical error..

Just take a look at what the yanks did with regardes to selection.......They went and asked five of the the world's top pro's (Walter Ray, Barnes etc, etc) if they wanted to be in it. Then to keep faith with the non pros threw in AMF world Cup winner Bill Hoffman. Now that's what I call a...

At about the mid point of the match Brett actually came off the lanes and said to me "the conditions are so good I cant believe nobody has bowled a 300 today." Two games later Brett showed them how. Well done big guy, very well deserved.

Congratulations Mark...a great effort! Mark is always the first to congratulate others when they do well so its a pleasure see him on the receiving end of a few well deserved complements. Is it my imagination or is Bateau Bay taking over the 300 count from it's sister centre Gosford in...

There's one member of the McRae dynasty that never gets any 'press' but is always there quietly standing behind the lanes watching his wife, kids and grandkids bowl. Grandad Don (they really like the name Don dont they) had his moment in sport in the 1960's when he owned and raced speedcars...

Fantastic news Lauren! Vickii and I have been waiting a long, long time for you to bowl a perfect game. We just new it would come one day. Wish we could have been there to see it...oh well maybe next time.

ESPN still has PBA bowling listed for 5.00am Tuesday morning. This week it's supposed to be the Tournament of Champions which was decided a couple of weeks back. It does look like this is the way they are going..with a show in the same time slot (terrible though it may be) each week. One...

This just an amazing effort on Andrew's part and must surely rate right up there with the best ever performance on the lanes by an Aussie! To beat Wes Mallot 4-3 with a final game of 287 is incredible. Mallot who is probably even taller than Frawls is one the PBA's real super stars and throws...

This is a fantastic result for Australian bowling! To have two players in the final sixteen of this tournament is just awesome. Both have tough matches ahead of them with Jason up against Mika Koivuniemi and Andrew to face Dino Castillo. Both Mika and Dino are seasoned pro's with Mika being a...

Thanks for spoting that Terry. I guess five am Tuesday is better than nothing. I suppose we'll have to set up the old vcr and hope we dont get camel racing or some other 'sport' they consider more interesting than pba bowling.

They have done it to us yet again folks! Just noticed that the PBA telcasts due to start (on Fox) on Saturday have disappeared. Not just one but for the entire month. Somehow you just had to know it was to good to be true that it would be on. We can now all enjoy The world Strongest man...

Just caught an interview with Jason Belmonte on the Phantom Radio show. It's a 30 minute session with the 'phantom' and worth a listen. you can pick up the show under www.phantomradioshow.com If you want to catch it be quick as they change the show each week. about Tuesday ( I think).

Yep, couldnt agree more Mark. It was great to see Darren's 300 game on Sunday. He has one beautiful release and can strike at will when he gets on the correct line. His potential is unlimited and when he learns a little more about changing lane conditions and the equipment he uses he will be...

I've watched them all since the very beginning of bowling in this country and there can be no doubt (in my opinion) that Jason is the best male bowler that this country has produced. No other competitor (Australian or otherwise) has generated the interest in the sport that he has in recent...

Steve Mackie contacted me yesterday less than 24 hours after my initial post. He asked me to send his best wishes to all his old mates on the aussie bowling scene. Ever the promoter, he said any of our top bowlers (he partically mentioned Jason Belmonte) would be welcome in next years New...

Yesterday while browsing YouTube I came across a familiar aussie accent doing the commentry for the 'New Mexico Open Bowling 2007'. After further investigation I discovered the commentry team for the event consisted of Steve Mackie, his wife Dana Miller-Mackie (one ot US's best ever women...

Bankstown Bowl has many memories for me. Too many infact to list here but it comes to mind that I had my first ever game in the centre way back in the early 1960's. As a result I got 'hooked' and some forty-five years or so later am still at it. I've often thought what my life would have...

I'd just like to congratulate Brett Larman for his first 300 game in competion. Brett was competing for Gosford, against Bateau Bay, in the first round of the State Premier League's new season at Gosford Bowl last Sunday. The tall left hander, who has only been bowling for a few short...
