    Welcome, Alison! Unfortunately, I'm about as far away from Seattle as you can get and still be in the US.

    Welcome to the board. If you don't mind me asking, what is your average? That is one thing they look at when someone wants to get their pro card. Check out the PBA website. They have the requirements posted on there, www.pba.com. Or you can check out this article http://bowling.about.com/od/protours...n_pba_tour.htm

    Right now I'm bowling a little under 200 average. Do you think that is high enough?

    I think the current PBA requirement is a minimum 200 average on a typical house shot or 195 in a sport league.
