Hopes for a PBA card by christmas
hopes to bowl 550s so I am in range for a PBA card around Christmas
For a PBA card you need to average over 200. You need 600's
I am a proud member of Bowlingboards.com bowling Forums and a ball contest winner.
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.
Maybe he meant pba themed Christmas card lol

Is this guy for real or just some jokester trying to waste some time. I read his posts and wonder many things.....
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.

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.
