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.
