Check Out Some Of The History Of Bowling And The PBA

[Brenton_Davy]

Came across this post on the PBA forum. It gives a great insight to early life on the PBA Tour when it was in its infancy, the players of the day, and their equipment and bowling environment. Its mind boggling to see what they achieved with relatively few revs, hard rubber balls and lacquer lanes......

Intermingled within the thread is a history of bowling back to its very roots up to more recent times.

It starts as a reference to PBA Triple Crown winner Billy Hardwick, but it is great reading for anyone interested in our sports background. There are even a few references to our esteemed (?) contributor wchester...... and many humourous references.

Enjoy........

Ah yes, the Billy Hardwick thread in the Previous Tour Years Forum, very good read, many great contributions from former Touring-pro and PBA Player Services director Larry Lichstein (LLichco).
Definately worth a read

Those who haven't sampled this fare are missing out big time. You may also want to have a look at another thread as well. It is mentioned in the Billy Hardwick thread.
