    For a PBA card you need to average over 200. You need 600's

    Plus getting a PBA card isn't the be-all end-all. Very few people make money as a PBA pro.

    You're probably better off "manipulating" your average and enter local regional handicap tournaments. Some good money to be made there if you play it right.

    Glad I'm not alone in this boat. I have so little time sometimes, I have certainly wondered why I even open and read some posts.

    Here are the requirements in order to get a PBA Membership (Courtesy of PBA.com):

    OFFICIAL MEMBERSHIP GUIDE & RULEBOOK

    August 1, 2014
    2.2 Average Criteria for Membership. Competitive membership in the PBA is open to any bowler
    who meets the following criteria:

    2.2.1 - Average 200. Possess at least a two hundred (200) average for a minimum of thirty-six (36) games in any USBC certified league or tournament club within the previous twelve months.

    2.2.2 - Average 190. Possess at least a one hundred and ninety (190) average for a minimum of thirty-six (36) games in an USBC certified Sport Bowling League within the previous twelve months.

    2.2.3 - Cash in a PBA Tournament. In lieu of the average requirement, an applicant may qualify for competitive membership by cashing in one (1) PBA tournament of any kind within the last two (2) years.

    Fortheloveofbowling said something that I totally agree with - "Is this guy for real or just some jokester trying to waste some time. I read his posts and wonder many things....."

    If you think that just being a 600 bowler is going to cut it, you are out of your mind. You need to be looking at the mid 700's on a daily basis to even endure the qualifying rounds!

    And lets not forget the oil patterns. Most of them are downright brutal! I just finished on 3 of the easier patters for 14 weeks and it was no joke!

    Dreaming is one thing. But you're in a total fantasy land.
