Hi George,

Long time no-see. That's great about Belmo.. Any link where we can follow the scores?

 

[GoTheCell]

try http://www.pba.com/LiveScoring/qual_results.aspx?RoundID=1429

 

[jimcross]

TA-- Thanks

 

[terry penguin]

it's good to see belmo showing his class, i wonder if our aussie sport shows will mention him at all, if it's good for an aussie dart thrower it should be good for an aussie ten pin bowler

 

[jimcross]

That sort of thing, generally, will only happen if their ( the media's ) attention is drawn to it. I've been away from anything to do with the sports admin for some years, but I presume TBA does this? And keeps at it and at it?

You need to build up media contacts, and have a lot of patience, and never give up to get media attention for other than the 'mainstreem' sports.

Belmo's taken the lead after the 3rd game of the second block!!!

Belmo back to second after TJ shot 288 to finish.

Jones, Barnes Top Qualifying as PBA Earl Anthony Memorial Heads into Match Play
by Bill Vint January 14, 2010 17:00
DUBLIN, Calif. – Tommy Jones of Simpsonville, S.C., momentarily slipped into second place, but fired a 288 game to regain the top qualifying position in the Professional Bowlers Association’s Earl Anthony Memorial at Earl Anthony’s Dublin Bowl Thursday.

Lynda Barnes of Double Oak, Texas, led the field of eight women who advanced to match play in the women’s portion of the tournament.

Jones, a 12-time PBA Tour winner who hasn’t won since 2008, averaged 232 for 14 games of qualifying to lead the field of 28 men into the best-of-seven-game, single-elimination match play competition Friday. Jones finished with 3,249 pins. Australia’s two-handed sensation, Jason Belmonte, was second, 25 pins behind.

Brian Kretzer of Dayton, Ohio, was third with a 3,122 total followed by Mike Wolfe of New Albany, Ind., at 3,112 and Chris Barnes of Double Oak, Texas, at 3,096.

Chris Barnes’ wife Lynda, who grew up in nearby Concord, Calif., and starred as a collegiate bowler at San Jose State University, averaged 208.43 to finish qualifying in the women’s event with 2,918 pins and an 18-pin edge over Liz Johnson of Cheektowaga, N.Y.

Other women advancing to match play were Wendy Macpherson, Henderson, Nev.; Jodi Woessner, Oregon, Ohio; Kelly Kulick, Union, N.J.; Shannon Pluhowsky, Kettering, Ohio; Stefanie Nation, Grand Prairie, Texas, and Lindsay Baker, Amherst, N.Y.

Lynda Barnes is bowling as a member of the PBA Women’s Series presented by BOWL.COM for the first time after a lengthy and highly-successful amateur career. She advanced from seventh place after Wednesday’s opening round by calming herself from unexpected, but self-imposed pressure a day earlier.

“I had a better game plan today,” Barnes said. “I was a little more relaxed. I was surprised how much extra pressure I felt with my family and friends in the crowd yesterday. A lot of people came to watch me bowl. I didn’t want to let them down. It was kind of self-induced.”

Barnes, who left her Northern California roots in 1996 when she got married, admitted returning to the San Francisco Bay area was an emotional experience.

“My aunt passed away last week, so I came in a week early,” Barnes noted. “It was hard last week, but I’m kind of trying to bowl for her. There are a lot of emotions to deal with.”

Friday’s match play elimination rounds which will cull the fields to four men and two women for the live ESPN finals Sunday at 1 p.m. Eastern (10 a.m. Pacific).

The Earl Anthony Memorial is dedicated to the late superstar who was recognized as the greatest player in PBA history last January during the organization’s 50th anniversary celebration. Anthony, the first player in PBA history to earn $1 million, was a 43-time PBA Tour champion.

[Bigsy]

How mentally tough do you have to be in that situation?

I would certainly need a lie down after that.

Well played Belmo !!!

 

[jimcross]

Hey ROYSA, ever thought of a career in sportscasting?
Almost like being there. Good one.

Bigsy, I agree about the lie down. Me too.

NO, NO, NO !! Not together. This is NOT a proposition.
