The BowlMor AMF U.S.
Open comes to Dallas, November 1-8. The event will be held
at AMF Showplace Garland,
a 58 lane bowling center in
Garland, TX. It has not been
hosted in the Dallas area since
1976 when it was held in Grand
Prairie at Forum Bowl. Paul
Moser defeated Jim Frazier 226195 to take that title. The event
was not held last year, so Wes
Malott will be the defending
champion after defeating Jason
Belmonte 214-156 in Columbus,
OH in 2013.
The U.S. Open title is the
chalice of titles. It has eluded
some of the greatest players
in our sport. The format is
long. The pattern is grueling.
And the field is the toughest
around. The U.S. Open is not
only a tough condition; it is
tough on the body and mental
state. Bowlers from all walks
of life bowl this event because
it is on their bucket list. Some

What started out as the
sport’s greatest achievement
quickly turned into one of the
sport’s greatest injustices. Over
thirty years later, thanks to
some extraordinary people, the
wrong has, in at least some
ways, been righted, though the
travesty can never be masked.

before to be an unobtainable feat was accomplished.

The DFW branch of the Amateur Bowlers Tour, or ABT as it
is known, is the new sponsor of
the Live Stream Schedule in The
Bowling News.
The ABT is a tournament
bowling club that was founded
in 1977 in Southern, CA. In the
last 38 years they have become
the largest organized club in the
country, one that has paid out
over $134,000,000, even more
than the PBA has.
The DFW branch started up
two years ago, with Regional
Director Andrew Cohen coming
onboard not long after creation.
In that short time, they have
hosted over 60 tournaments and
awarded $161,000 in prize fund
money.

The approach is unique.
We have seen it enough lately
to know there is no question
who it is. How, you ask?
It’s definitely a 21st century
approach with a twist of the
torso before the release, but
what happens at the very end
that gives it away. A hop. The
hop. And don’t worry, it’s not
going anywhere soon. More on
that later.
Shawn Maldonado is
easily the hottest bowler in the
country right now. Competing
in the PBA Southwest Region
against such familiar names
as Wes Malott, Mike Scroggins, Nathan Bohr, and fellow
Houstonian D. J. Archer, the
29-year-old Maldonado has
done something I can’t recall
hearing about in my thirty-plus
years of PBA Regional play.
Not very often, a player
wins three regionals in a
row. It’s happened a couple of
times, but that’s it. Never can
anyone remember four wins in
a row, until now. With several
clutch games in match play,
Maldo won his seventh career
regional title, the PBA Dallas
Orthopaedic Trauma Surgeons
Southwest Open on September
20.
The other three were the
three previous Southwest
Regionals on August 23,
August 30, and September 13.
That makes four, alright. But
how has he done this? In a JPA
interview last Friday prior to
the start of the PBA Tomball
Southwest Open, Maldonado
told me it’s a combination of
things. It starts with a passion
for the game.
“It really started with the
2013 PBA World Series of Bowling, the first national stops I
bowled. I knew right there that
my level of play had to change.
I wanted to get to that higher
level so bad, I was going to put
into whatever I kind of work
needed to get there. I’d always
worked out and worked on my
game, but this was different, I
worked even harder. The feelings I had were much stronger.
I always had a passion for
bowling, but now that I was on
a professional level, bowling
against the best guys in the
world, I wanted to get better
that much more. That paid off
at the following World Series of
Bowling in 2014 with finishing
ninth in the World Championships and a fifth place finish
making my first TV finals in
Japan,” Maldonado said.
It was at that finals (2015
DHC PBA Japan Invitational)

FOUNDED AND PUBLISHED BY JOE GENNARO FROM 1956-2009
covered a reward. It was the
feeling of extreme accomplishment, something he craved
and wanted to not only make
another show, but to win
against the best in the world.
“It felt great and wanted to
go back. It was like my drug,
I had to get back in that top
five category. So I worked even
harder, had my ups and downs
in the Roth/Holman Doubles
in Milwaukee, USBC Masters,
and the Tournament of Champions, but I really didn’t get
down on myself.
By that statement alone, he
has avoided a common pitfall
among tour bowlers, especially
newer players. Maldonaldo
explains further.
“I don’t get down on these
things, I just sit down and
figure out what I need to make
myself better whether it be
mentally, physically, or both. I
like to analyze what it’s going
to take to get me to that next
level.”
Although he says he didn’t
do well individually in the
Roth/Holman Doubles, but
his partner, DJ Archer sure
did. They each made another
TV finals appearance in their
young tour careers, finishing
fifth.
“DJ bowled incredible that
week, I was basically on his
back the whole time. All I
could do was get to the pocket
and hope I didn’t drive him
down,” Maldonado added.
Another confidence boost
came in the PBA Summer
Swing Badger Open. After
getting helpful advice from
Storm/Roto Grip Del Ballard,
Maldonado rolled back-to-back
240’s in the final two games
to make yet another show. He
gave Walter Ray Williams,
Jr. all he could handle before
falling 232-223.
Despite that loss, the
confidence kept building as
whatever shots needed to be
made, whatever score needed
to be posted, he would do it.
That premise started to play
out in this record winning
streak. Also keep in mind, he
is not running away with leads
deep into Sunday match play.
He trailed Nathan Bohr before
finally catching him in the
position round match to defend
his title in the PBA Greenville
Southwest Open, presented by
DV8. Maldo had to defeat Wes
Malott, Chris Barnes, and DJ
Archer before winning the PBA
Grand Hotel, Casino, & Resort
Southwest Invitational for win
#2. He got by Dino Castillo by
81 pins for the third win, the
PBA McAlester, OK Southwest
Open, presented by Columbia
300, another as defending
champion.
Before the fourth tournament, the PBA Dallas Orthopaedic Trauma Surgeons Southwest Open, Malott told him he
had bad news for Maldo.
“I kinda know what he was
going at, but thought it may
have been they couldn’t bowl
the Longview Doubles tournament anymore. That wasn’t it.
I was humming and hawing,
then said, I’m not winning
this one. “Nope,”said Malott,
“you’re finishing second at this
one, “Maldonado explained.
They traded the lead during
match play before Malott pulled
ahead by nearly 200 pins.
Then a couple of bad games
shrank the lead to 38 pins. A
big game in the next to last
match increased the lead to
138. Returning to a pair he shot
a 180 game earlier, the position
round match was a pure grind
for him, shooting 210. Malott
shot 279 and even with the
bonus pins, it was not enough
to stop the fourth win. They
did finish one-two, but not in
the order Malott had predicted.
He analyzes his own game,
but not during competition.
That happens off the lanes.
He knows his own game well
enough to possess a problemsolving method that is firing
on all cylinders right now.
And the distinctive hop after
the release? Not going away
anytime soon. He’s tried throwing without it and the carry
percentage drops. But it was
an observation during a match
with Chris Barnes that gives us
a little more insight into this
streak.

believes that bowling’s time
to join the Olympic Movement
will come sooner rather than

over the past few months was
valuable and tangible recommendations will be taken away
to strengthen the sport of
bowling in the future.

the sport’s first sanctioned 900
series.
Due to what the American
Bowling Congress (ABC)
deemed as unfit conditions,
Allison’s perfect series was not
certified. What should have
been forever recorded in the
annals of bowling history was,
in the ABC’s mind, voided.
Over the course of the past
thirty plus years, many attempts have been made to get
Allison’s 900 series recognized.
According to Andrea GageWerren, General Manager of La
Habra 300 Bowl, and the lead
person behind Allison’s 900
series ring presentation, these
attempts have been made as
recently as 2013. All of which,
though, have been to no avail;
the United States Bowling
Congress (USBC), formerly
ABC, refuses to budge.
It was recently after the
USBC’s decision to uphold
its ruling on Allison that
Gage-Werren first started
looking into personalized 900
rings for Allison. According
to Gage-Werren, though, the
USBC was not happy with that.
Eventually, after removing the
USBC logo and replacing it
with a La Habra 300 Bowl logo,
the company began designing
Allison’s ring, a process that
Gage-Werren says took several
months.
The 900 ring presented by
La Habra 300 Bowl to Glenn on
September 3rd.
When asked why she felt
obligated to have this ring
designed for Allison, GageWerren said that, to her, it’s
not an obligation, but, rather,
an honor. “I just feel that he is
responsible for so much of La
Habra 300 Bowl’s history,” says
Close-up of Glenn Allison’s Ring
Glenn Allison’s 900 Ball
Gage-Werren, “and he continues to do so much for this
bowling alley...it was really an
honor for me to be able to give
him the ring he deserved.”
Though she admits that it
was an honor to be the one
who had the opportunity
to present Allison his ring,
Gage-Werren states that, in her
opinion, it should have been
done by the USBC over thirty
years ago. “The majority of
the bowling world supports
his (Allison’s) 900 as the first
one,” says Gage-Werren, “and
I can tell you that I am not the
first one to offer such a thing
(honoring Allison’s feat in
some way).”
While what Gage-Werren
and La Habra 300 Bowl did
for Allison does not make up
for the ABC/USBC’s decision,
there is no denying that their
amazingly generous act is a
major step in the right direction and the selfless act that
they have done is something to
be admired.
The actual ball Glenn used
is still on display at Columbia
300’s headquarters in Hopkinsville, KY.

ABT WELCOME
Continued from Page 1
“I am ecstatic about the
growth in DFW. It is one of the
fastest growing branches, which
is a tribute to the DFW bowling
scene. So many pros have come
out of this area. We’re fortunate
to have wonderful GM’s that
provide their centers, and the
USBC has been very helpful too,”
said Cohen.
The ABT has two membership
levels, Standard and Gold, with
Gold providing the lowest per
squad entry fee. The tournaments handicap structure is
70% of 225, with the maximum
handicap of 52 pins.
So far this year, they have
hosted 30 tournaments, with
the next two tournaments being
held at the ITRC in Arlington on
November 1st and December 5th.
The cool thing about those
two events is that they are being
filmed and live-streamed by ReeInvent Films, which also made
the cult bowling comedy, “We’ve
Got Balls” which was released
earlier this year.
ABT also hosts several
national tournaments each year
with prize funds that range from
$30,000 - $100,000. Truly great
money for their members.
“We try to give the bowlers what they want and are
completely transparent which
they appreciate,” added Cohen.
“One added bonus is awarding a

“Better ball motion beats
better shotmakers. If he had
better ball motion, he would
kill me. But in this match, my
look was nice,” Maldonado
said.
He didn’t lead qualifying in
Tomball this weekend, but is

Each winner is also entered
into the season ending Tournament of Champions event at
Forum Bowl where they will go

James Simmons Jr., and the
chance at $3,500 first place
prize.
The DFW branch is approaching 500 members and get

bowling on fresh, burn, then
double burn. That should make
the scores very competitive.
I spoke with Kirk Von
Krueger, Director of PBA, as to
what his thoughts were on the
upcoming event. “I am very
excited to watch the event.
The PBA or USBC haven’t used
the dress lanes once a day and
bowl 3 squads in over 20+
years. If USBC uses the old
school philosophy of not revealing the pattern until practice
day, it will definitely test the
bowler’s ability. I am just
excited the U.S. Open is back!”
I’m very excited about
bowling the U.S. Open again.
It is definitely a true testament
to bowling. Winning this
event really means something
to the bowler. You really are
a proven champion if you
win this prestigious event.
Winning means the most, but
finishing with your head up
high overcomes any adversity.
In the upcoming weeks, I
will be spotlighting bowlers
competing in the event. I will
introduce the Best of the Best
of the Best, top lefties, GOATs
(greatest of all time), top locals
and even the 2-handed regime.
I will then handicap the field
leading right up to the event.

The process has made our
sport grow stronger and we
have learned some invaluable
lessons from working on our
campaign. While we may not
have been successful this time,
we will continue to develop
our sport worldwide. As part
of our Bowling World Plan, we
have many initiatives still to be

especially for girls. We strongly
believe that this will result
in increasing the worldwide
recognition of our sport. The

ahead of us!”
Along this journey World
Bowling has received so much

Rick Irvine is one very
excited coach.
After many conversations
with school administrators,
and just a little bit of luck,
Irvine has brought high school
bowling to the rapidly-growing
Frisco ISD.
He will be the Head Coach
at Centennial High School, the
first high school in Frisco to
have a bowling program.
“We have a bunch of kids
in our youth program here at
Strikz that are very talented
and deserve a place to showcase their talent,” said Irvine.
Frisco plans to have three of
their eight schools participate
in high school bowling this
year, Centennial, Heritage and
Lone Star, but student-athletes
from other schools are able to
join the teams as this is a co-op
sport.
“I’m hoping that we get
great participation and the
other schools get the bowling
bug,” he added.
“Strikz has really opened
their doors to high school
bowling and youth programs
over the last couple of years

and it has been great to see the
parents get involved in bowling
too. It’s been a win, win, win,”
said Rick.
The high school teams plan
to have boys and girls teams.
They have 10 confirmed boys
and one girl so far, but they
are able to let the girls bowl

with the boys since it is a
co-op sport. They can bowl
with mixed teams through the
regional playoffs, but not in the
state finals. They can however
bowl in individual singles for
each division.
“I expect this year to be
a building block, but I also
expect a good turnout and a
full team at Centennial, and
expect the other teams to get
close. We would love to see
more girls get involved because
there are so many opportunities for girls in college. Lots of
scholarship opportunities for
them,” he added.
Exciting times ahead for

Del and Carolyn Ballard
are fully immersed in the
DFW pro shop market again
after selling their controlling
interest to Rudy Garcia Sr. a
few years back. They made
a deal with Garcia to get two
shops back and will maintain a
“great working relationship,” as
Ballard put it.
The Ballards have rebranded their two pro shops at
Brunswick Zone Watauga and
BRC Westcreek as Ballard’s
Bowling Academy Pro Shop’s.
Chad Newman will be the
General Manager and they have
added Geoffrey Young as the
Manager at Westcreek.
“We brought Geoffrey into
the family, but still want him
to continue bowling competitively so that he is actively
involved in the sport, Chad is
the GM based out of Watauga,
but you will see him at both
shops,” Ballard added.
The Ballards decided to
sell the controlling interest to
Garcia after Del started having
health issues but now that he
is doing better and Carolyn is
working from home for Turbo
Grips, the timing was right for
them to re-engage.

traditional pro shops because
we want to offer more structured clinics and lessons. That
is really what Carolyn wants to
do more of, but we will both be
heavily involved in that,” said
Del.
The Ballards are on a
mission to continue growing
the sport and one of the things
they are focused on is teaching
the sport to those that teach
others, specifically, coaching
coaches.
“One of the biggest factors
in owning the pro shops is that
we have a lot more freedom
to do bowling education. One
of those avenues is providing
coaching help to high school
coaches. The companies that
sponsor us, Dexter, Turbo and
Storm/Roto Grip are heavily
involved in coaching, so we
get great support from them as
well,” added Carolyn.
And who better to teach the
game than these two lifetime
students!
