Do Professional Bowlers earn more than just their tournament earnings?

I am in agreement with Aslan. We could use the Delorean back to 1975 !

"When I was a kid," (in the '70s), nobody carried a 190 average unless they were very, very good. In those days, you weren't eligible for the tour until you had held at least a 210 average. In those days, strikes were exciting; not expected. In those days, a "really good bowler" knew how to pick up spares, not how to achieve consistent hambones. Even the Anthonys and Durbins and Roths relied on spare pickups. It's taken the emphasis off of battling your inconsistencies and put it on battling the lane conditions.

Actually, in a perfect world bowling would be hard enough that nobody on this website could carry a 190 average and between all of us there'd be 3 300-games.

BUT...the rings would be 14k gold with real diamonds.

Mine is I think 10k gold, with a real diamond.
