INDIANAPOLIS – Norm Duke of Clermont, Fla., won a hall of fame strikefest with Parker Bohn III of Jackson, N.J., last week to win the Dick Weber PBA Playoffs presented by Hammer at Woodland Bowl and secure his 37th career title, third best in PBA Tour history. Duke’s third victory season also put him into the thick of the PBA Player of the Year race with only the PBA Tournament of Champions remaining on the schedule. Duke put on a stunning performance, including his 836-766 victory over Bohn, a 32-time PBA Tour title and a fellow PBA Hall of Famer. “If you would have told me this morning I would shoot 800 in the title match, I’d have said I was going to win the title,” Duke said, “but I wouldn’t have believed it.” Just like he had done in three previous elimination rounds, Duke started his match against Bohn with nine strikes for a 289 game and a 60-pin lead with two games to go. It was too much for Bohn to overcome, even though he answered with games of 279 and 258 for his 766 series. Duke followed his 289 with games of 268 and 279. “That was a match people are going to remember for a while,” Bohn said. Duke’s march to the title match began in the Regional Championships round when he struck on 17 of his first 19 shots, racing away from Michael Haugen Jr. of Carefree, Ariz., to win the Southwest Region championship, 792-616. In the Conference Championship round he defeated Bryon Smith of Roseburg, Ore., 751-657, and he advanced to the championship match with a 789 series in the semifinal round. Bohn won the second spot in the title match with a 632 series, edging Sweden’s Martin Larsen by 14 pins.

INDIANAPOLIS – Norm Duke of

Clermont, Fla., won a hall of fame strikefest

with Parker Bohn III of Jackson, N.J., last

week to win the Dick Weber PBA Playoffs

presented by Hammer at Woodland Bowl

and secure his 37th career title, third best in

PBA Tour history.

Duke’s third victory season also put him

into the thick of the PBA Player of the Year

race with only the PBA Tournament of

Champions remaining on the schedule.

Duke put on a stunning performance,

including his 836-766 victory over Bohn, a

32-time PBA Tour title and a fellow PBA

Hall of Famer.

“If you would have told me this morning

I would shoot 800 in the title match, I’d

have said I was going to win the title,”

Duke said, “but I wouldn’t have believed

it.”

Just like he had done in three previous

elimination rounds, Duke started his match

against Bohn with nine strikes for a 289

game and a 60-pin lead with two games to

go. It was too much for Bohn to overcome,

even though he answered with games of 279 and 258

for his 766 series. Duke followed his 289 with games

of 268 and 279.

“That was a match people are going to remember

for a while,” Bohn said.

Duke’s march to the title match began in the

Regional Championships round when he struck on 17

of his first 19 shots, racing away from Michael

Haugen Jr. of Carefree, Ariz., to win the Southwest

Region championship, 792-616.

In the Conference Championship round he defeated

Bryon Smith of Roseburg, Ore., 751-657, and he

advanced to the championship match with a 789

series in the semifinal round. Bohn won the second

spot in the title match with a 632 series, edging

Sweden’s Martin Larsen by 14 pins.

The PBA playoffs involved six groups of PBA

Tour, Senior Tour and regional players bowling a

series of elimination rounds. Champions from six

Regional groups advanced through Regional and

Conference Championship rounds leading up to the

semifinals and championship rounds.

Pin points to ponder.

•••Yes, averages can vary as

much as 40 points from bowling

center to bowling center.

•••Never thought I'd see the

day when bowling balls came in

as many colors as Easter eggs.

•••Only a few bowlers can

stand prosperity on the lanes,

particularly when an opponent

is having it all.

•••In most sports the spectator

is fulfilled by identifying with

the player in action rather than

through the action. In bowling

most fans are also doers in com-

petition as well as watchers, so

they gain from both areas of the

sport.

•••Some people bowl because

they want to be with their mates,

family or friends. And some peo-

ple bowl because they want to

get away from their mates, fam-

ily or friends.

•••Why can't high average and

all other bowlers understand

that the USBC is not merely an

award giving organization but is

deeply involved in all forms of

services for a modest member-

ship fee structure---one of the

lowest in sports.

•••A channel ball is one that in

error goes into the depression on

either side of the lane. Formerly

it was known as a gutter ball,

and before that it was a poodle.

A bowler can usually tell how

good his or her reputation is•by

•••We have some great trick

shot bowlers but the master was

the late, great Andy Varipapa

who was still in demand when he

was 90. He went through all the

various bowling balls from wood

on up and he dazzled in person,

on TV, in the movies. He had

control, confidence, and his

main aim was to communicate

with his audiences, letting them

know that he wanted to please

them.

•••It is no knock not to win, but

it is a tragedy if you don't give

your best effort.

•••Many adults list bowling as

their sport---but they only bowl

once a month.

•••Many adults list bowling as

their sport---but they only bowl

once a month.

•••Top pro golfers, and even

some that aren't top rated, can

win a million dollars and more

in a single tournament. Top pro

bowlers still get special praise

when they reach the million

mark in their careers. That's

hardly fair. But remember we

didn't even have true profes-

sional bowlers in any numbers

in their own niche until 1958.

Pro bowlers travel the world

seeking the many tournaments

that are making roll for pay

more and more universal.

•••If more bowlers would read

all the rules before they enter

tournaments, and more tourna-

ment directors, individuals or

groups, would check bowlers

before they bowl, there would be

a lot less post tourney problems.

•••If tourney entry fees, travel,

by any means, car, train, plane

hotels and food costs continue to

escalate, nearby tournaments

will have their own special

appeal, in the head and in the

purse. Start out by rolling in

your county and state events.

•••The happy ending to too

many nights of bowling is the

simple fact that the night has

ended.

John Nappi 726 at Fair LawnBy Steve Nitch

FAIR LAWN, NJ – In the Friday Night Scratch League at Fair Lawn

Lanes, John Nappi took high series honors rolling a 726, with games of

248, 210, and 268. Then holding second honors was Felix Perez with a

704, rolling 234, 214, and 256. Notable high games were Rick Decker

with a 256, Edwin Diaz 251, Loucas Georgiou 258, Steve Nitch with a

257, and Todd Ulrich with a 256.

HACKENSACK, NJ - Holiday

continued to steamroll past oppo-

nents sweeping their third straight

contest in the Youth Travel League;

winners of sixteen games in their

last eighteen, they haven’t dropped a

match since mid-December as

whatever combo they’ve used from

their talented roster have risen to the

occasion. This time, Ramapo senior

Mike Carr, who qualified for the

State Tournament by finishing sec-

ond in the North 1-A Sectionals with

a 737 series, appeared undaunted by

the seemingly more difficult lane

conditions posed this session. His

triple-deuce 636 was one of only

two “600s” registered on the day,

with 12-year-old Stephen Plaszky’s

triple-deuce 617 being the other.

Mike’s teammates’Joe Malyack,

who excelled at the North 1-B

Sectionals with a top qualifier 663,

rolled 199, Nick Cilento 182 and

Dillon Cilento 175, in getting the

job done for Holiday in their 2524-

2452 triumph over Bowler City I;

best for BCI were John Draney 211

and Ryan Perez 206,195.

For Fair Lawn’s young Stephen

Plaszky, it was his first appearance

since January and he made sure it

was notable, stringing games of

201,214,202 in leading his quartet to

two of three from Montvale which

had won five of its previous six

games. The Floyd brothers’ Jaylin

233 and Justin 222 along with

Madison Perry’s over-average

triple, cemented Fair Lawn’s victo-

ry. Montvale received creditable

performances from 11-year-old

Matthew Russell and Park Ridge

sophomore Kyle Ladewig, both of

whom had identical games of 182

and 175.
