    Yes, different. The US Open is a PBA tournament and is one of the majors.

    Might consider giving it a go just for the experience of it.

    So without looking it up…is the unique thing about it that it's "Open" to all bowlers even non-PBA card holders?

    I wonder if they have a limit on entries. I know the WSOB only took a certain number of entries.

    Yes, I believe it is open to amateurs without PBA card as far as I know. More info to come out about it I am sure. Registration starts April 6. Have already dropped the bug in the wife's ear about it. Will certainly be a great experience and likely once in maybe a lifetime depending on where they are held each year.

    They must have a cutoff for entries, but the last US Open had over 600 participants. I read the difference in average between amateurs and pros was around 25 pins/game . Someday I'll give it a try . I used to drive by the place in NJ all the time when I was an over-the-road trucker. Always wanted to lay over and go watch the tournament but never did.
    I have seen a few pro tournaments and bowled in some pro-and, but I want to get to that next level before I'm too old .

    Hadn't looked before, but just found out that entries are still being accepted to the US OPEN!!

    I think I am going to do it!

    $400 entry fee and I will have to find someplace to get my name embroidered on the back of some shirts.

    Figuring this will be a once in a lifetime chance to bowl it since it is so close to home. Literally within 15 miles.

    Awesome, good luck with that. If it ever comes back to NJ, I may try it too. Hopefully I'll be a better bowler by then.
