Bowling Highlights Column



Daugherty Wins
Scorpion Title

   After bowling a Professional Bowlers Association record-low 100 game in his only previous television appearance, Tom Daugherty of Wesley Chapel, Fla., redeemed himself in the Bowlers Journal Scorpion Championship, winning three consecutive matches including a 200-182 victory over top qualifier Osku Palermaa of Finland, to capture his first PBA Tour title at South Point Hotel and Casino. 
  The Bowlers Journal Scorpion Championship finals, the fourth of five GEICO PBA World Series of Bowling IV events, aired last Sunday on ESPN.
  Daugherty, who bowled his record-low game in a 299-100 loss to eventual champion Mika Koivuniemi in the semifinal round of the 2011 PBA Tournament of Champions, used his “thumbless” delivery to mow down an impressive field of high-rev power players in the Scorpion finals, raising his television average by 88 pins in the process.
  The GEICO World Series of Bowling concludes on ESPN next Sunday at 1 p.m. ET with the finals of the PBA World Championship, the first major championship of the 2012-13 PBA Tour season. Finalists will include PBA Hall of Famer and 31-time PBA Tour titlist Parker Bohn III of Jackson, N.J.; Canada’s Dan MacLelland; Rhino Page of Dade City, Fla.; reigning PBA Player of the Year Sean Rash of Montgomery, Ill., and top qualifier Jason Belmonte of Australia, a five-time PBA Tour champion who is trying for his first major title.
  Pre- and post-telecast shows for all PBA-ESPN telecasts will be available on Xtra Frame, PBA’s online bowling channel.

The Bowling Tip
By Mike Luongo

  Bowlers, this week's tip is for parents with children who either bowl in a youth league or bowl regularly with their own equipment.
  Parents......when was the last time you had your child's fit checked on their bowling ball at your local pro shop?
  Children tend to grow quickly and the gripping holes in their bowling ball must be adjusted to accommodate this growth.
  Bowling with poor fitting equipment can become frustrating and uncomfortable. In most cases, it will only take a minute or two for adjustments to be made.
  Also, if you child has his or her own bowling shoes, you can check yourself to see if the fit is acceptable. Do not wait for blisters to pop out on the toes.
  Remember, the game is meant to be enjoyed, not to be a form of torture.
