AMF Australian Masters overview

[Tiger]

Is it really necessary to encourage overseas competition to enter Australian Masters???. Our Bowlers deserve to have the opportunity of competing for the Big Money,don"t think they can beat PBA members or even overseas Women as has been proved these past two years. Dockers

Personally I would say yes, Doreen, they should be as it will lift the standard of our own players as they'll see exactly what it takes to get to the top.
I also believe we have some fine players in this country that are more than capable of beating the Internationals and we'll see an Australian winner sooner than we think.
We've got players here who, given the opportunities and experience that these events will provide can most definitely put this country on the map in the sport in a global sense (think Belmo as an example). In turn, those players can then filter their techniques, knowledge and training down to us who don't regularly compete at National level for various reasons and that'll hopefully lift the sport of bowling immeasurably.
