Sounds like job security to me.

Yep. About the only time they would let us go is if they decided to fold up shop and go home, which isn't going to happen any time soon. It'll do until I get my game up to the level required to join the PBA and go bowl on tee vee. I doubt I'll ever get that good but I'd love to get good enough to join the PBA and go bowl in the WSOB just once. I wouldn't care if I got 300th place, just so long as I could say I got to bowl with the big guys.

Right now I'd be happy to get to the point of bowling in a PBA regional.

I believe you only have to have a 200 ave in a sanctioned league to get your PBA card. I could be wrong though.

you are correct!!!

MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENTS - Here are four ways to become a member of the Professional Bowlers Association:

A 200 average or better for the most recent league season with at least 36 games in that league.
A 190 average or better in a sanctioned USBC Sport Bowling League. This is a league certified by the USBC using the PBA patterns.

You can find out if there are sports leagues near you by contacting the USBC at (800) 514-BOWL (2695).
Cashing in a PBA Regional tournament as a non-member.
Be a member of the WTBA (International members only).

As for me....
I joined over the summer, had my first tournament in Aug & got to bowl with Walter Ray Wiliams Jr, Tom Baker, Rhino Page...to name a few!!

I Absolutely love it!!!!!! My first time out was only to get my feet wet, & see what I was in for, Now I am ready!!!

I can't wait to enter another Tournament!!!

Heh, sure no problem, a 200 average in regular league or a 190 in sport, he says.

I average maybe (maybe) 160-170 in open bowling. It's gonna be a while before I'm busting 200 on leagues methinks. It does sound fun though, maybe someday I'll get there.

I'm a systems analyst for a very large private university. Sounds fancy (and pays pretty good) but really what it means is I fix data problems that other people cause all day.

Are you sure? Maybe you're just a copper top dreaming that you fix data problems

LOL - I almost did become a cop actually, but right after I turned 18 some friends of mine talked me into doing something really stupid that wrecked my chances of getting that job. It's for the best anyway, I did not have very good judgement back then and probably would have made a lousy cop. These days I've got my head on straight and could probably do the job just fine, but I am way too old and out of shape for it now. I like what I do, it pays well and no one shoots at me. Can't complain.

I work in web design and marketing as a profession. I work at a software development company and absolutely LOVE what I do!

Part time I help a buddy at his pro shop and we go bowl tournaments a lot together. I am also a Silver Certified Coach and do private and group lessons when I can.
