    $200 a person to watch a pro bowl and get some tips? I'm in the wrong profession. With as dismal as the PBA ratings are you think they would have the starts out at every lane talking up the sport and getting new people involved.

    I agree $200 does seem a little over the top and so does $80.00 per hour for your average Joe bowler
    to pay but you will always have some people that will be willing to pay it no matter what just so they
    can say they were taught by a top ranked Pro and for bragging rights.

    I can see maybe paying a price like that if bowling is what you do to make a living from week to week
    as someone else's eye's can spot what you are doing wrong to maybe put you over the top for that
    next PBA title win.

    It was a 6 hour seminar with lessons and it came out to $33.33 an hour and it was very informative. I take it from the comments that certain people on here are over 200 average bowlers and don't need help with their game. Some of us here do need guidence,so if a pro bowler offers his services,I will take it in hopes it makes me like you guys,a 200+ average bowler.

    You didn't know that Zothen, nobody on here needs lessons for $33 hour, we need many $230 bowling balls to maintain our 150-180 average.

    No, the pro watches you and coaches you on how to improve your game. And they did a presentation as well.

    Zothen, were you there? how did you know it was a 6hour session?
